It always surprises me, too, Jess. These people have never had a dinner party or family holiday where they made a dessert? It baffles me.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Mmmm - pie.
Although not many of those last night would have made me say that.
Also, I'm curious how that choclate thing was anymore not a pie than a quiche would be (though the chocolate thing looked good).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Quiche is totally a pie. Moreso than the winning cobbler thing, anyway. (Which looked super-yummy, but not very pie-like.)

Cheerios.
But moving on to last night's ep - WHO ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL COOKS WHO HAVE NEVER MADE A PIE???
More to the point, who are these Top Chef wanna-bes who don't have some sort of dessert up their sleeve given they usually always throw at least one dessert challenge at the guests.

Right, so what was up with the guest judge's comment "It's really more of a quiche than a pie".

Yes, it was really a chocolate tart but it looked (and evidently was) delicious so it got a pass.
Most of those pies were nutso.
It's so weird these first couple of weeks -- there are people who have gotten basically no air time yet. Like the guy who did the "Puerto Rican" bbq. Where did he come from?

I think quiche, savory anyway, would be wrong because it was supposed to be dessert. But quiche is totally pie.
And like Frank says, how do these people not come with one dessert item up their sleeves? It's like the contestants who never practice lighting a fire when they know they're going to be on Survivor. Learn from others, folks!

And I meant to say this last night - Anya is invited over for coffee. Jose, too.

The winning one did have a bottom crust, so I think it counts.
The bigger questions - WTF with the peanut butter and celery?
