I definitely want to try out her place sometime. I'd also like to check out Prairie Fire, since it's the new restaurant by the people who run my favorite place up here on the North Shore, Prairie Grass Cafe (which was featured on last week's Check, Please!, btw).
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Aw, Tiffani! I'm glad she seems so happy and at peace with everything, and hope that is still the case after her restaurant here closed suddenly around New Year's. But thank goodness Jamie got the boot!
Yeah, I'm disappointed for Tiffani, I feel like she's a better chef that she did on the show. I'm not mad to see Jamie gone, although I think that she got a shitty edit. I don't remember her being that annoying/whiny/lazy during her season, I remember liking her. She got a little crapped on during Top Chef Masters, though, so maybe this go 'round was the real Jamie.

I wonder if some of the more unexpected eliminations reflect that, given the caliber of these chefs and the fact that they've already proven themselves, they really are judging on the specific dish in front of them.
I mean, they always say they do but it seems pretty clear in most seasons that the general impression/record of the chefs with losing dishes does get taken into account. Here, they really do live or die on each challenge.

Oh, that sucks! I went to eat there shortly before moving to New Orleans and it was great. [link]

At Zaytinya, Mike just walked in. He's short. Third Top Chef sighting!

Not the chefs I'd really want to run into. Who were the first two? Did I miss a post?

No kidding. I stayed right where I was, they're both quite douchey. I'd seen Spike before, and had dinner at Volt (Bryan Voltaggio's restaurant) and chatted with him (MFNLaw was there too), so now I've seen three Top Chefs in person.

Oh, how was Volt?
Bryan was the quieter, more tightly-wound of the two, right?
