Bourdain was thinking what I've been thinking - what the fuck crawled up Ripert's ass?
There's that, and I also think because they're pals he loves giving Ripert shit on camera when he can.
Slap my hand now!

Art Crawl!!!
I loved the Ripper/Bourdain back and forth. The crits are always better when Bourdain is part of them. So much more amusing.
Yes, sometime in the midst of it all I started worrying about Tiffany. Well, she was the only one that had a major thing go wrong with her dish. I suppose the fact that she couldn't adapt to it well enough is a strike against her. (But she did have Ripert say that she cooked the fish well - she can definitely be proud of that. I'm not misremembering that, am I?)
Re: Angelo - long distance Russian fiancee! That's why the divorce info struck me funny - I just couldn't remember the fiancee thing. He is an odd duck and a douchnozzle but he can cook.
Kevin should have tried braising pork for his elimination dish - Bourdain would have loved him then.

Yes, and Bourdain loved her sauce.

But did anyone catch last week that he's only met the fiance twice? Total mail-order.
He does live in NY. They could have met if she was there on vacation, or maybe they were both on a trip.
In any case, at this point, I'm rooting for Ed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, and I can I say, it's Top Chef, not Top Pea? I have never seen so many pea purees!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Are peas this season's scallops?

Because books.
S. said that last night! "Can we have one episode without a goddamn pea puree, please?!"

I missed the pea puree. I think I must have blocked it. Who did it?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Angelo, I think. It was the green thing next to the short ribs.

And Tiffany had the pea shoots. They were filming in early spring so it kind of makes sense but still...enough with the peas!
Wonder how well stocked the Whole Foods Singapore is?
