So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

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.

I couldn't figure out who the 3rd was going to be - so it makes sense that there was a tie.

Emilio's dress was amazing. And I love the whole fabric concept. Plus, bonus points for his model not looking like a ringmaster.

I think the results are exactly right. Anthony was really disappointing last night and I really couldn't decide between Mila and Jay.

Punishingly Intricate

I thought jay's jacket was hideous. But they were right about his pants.

I think that there's a "taste level" issue with Jay. But, let's see what he does when not constrained by a challenge.

I liked Emilio's dress. It was out there without being crazy. I think that he's an asshole, and I don't like the way that he disses Tim all of the time. OTOH, not listening to Tim has gotten him this far. I don't mind him disagreeing, but the dissing is unacceptable.

Jay's jacket was a hot mess, man. Talk about going way too literal with the circus thing. The pants were okay, I guess.

I loved Anthony, but it was still hysterical when Heidi and Michael got up to actually feel the fabric.

Yeah, I hate his attitude, especially towards Tim, but I give him props for actually saying Mila should go to Bryant Park.
