but I did get the feeling that the best dish lost.
What did you have pegged as the best?
I agree, a team challenge for the first round is bizarre. I wasn't even able to get a good sense of what each chef's style is, which ais a big part of the fun for me.
What did you have pegged as the best?
The duck breast dish seemed to get the most positive comments, and I don't remember a single negative one.
They didn't like that you had to use a knife and fork to eat the duck leg in the bowl. I remembered that one because it would have irritated me too.
Yes, that would have been irritating. Either smaller chunks of duck or large, flat bowls.
That was the other duck dish though, right?
Oh, you're right.
BTW, I read that the next season of Top Chef is going to be filmed in DC.
That was the other duck dish though, right?
Right. I was rooting for that team because I love Ana Sortun's food at Oleana. However, the judges were right about the whole duck breast in a bowl, though both dishes sounded absolutely nummy. I didn't so much agree about it being too casual a dish, but, then, I strongly favor flavor over presentation. You can't eat presentation.
No PR talk?
I loved Emilio's dress like whoa. So clearly circus-inspired but it actually looked like something I would wear. Not real surprised by the top three.
I was surprised that Mila made it into the top three, but I can see the justification for the designer shoot-out between her and Jay.
Looking forward to the collections.
