Not the chefs I'd really want to run into. Who were the first two? Did I miss a post?
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

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?

Yes, the older brother. I've been to Volt but he wasn't there when I was.
I see Jill Snyder (she of the unfortunate ostrich egg incident) all the time. She works at one of our fave restaurants (Woodberry Kitchen) and they have an open kitchen.

TC: YESSS!!!!
I never saw that asshole the first time around, and I've been wanting him gone for weeks. He's been making Mike I. look like a nice guy. That takes some doing.
eta Do I need to clarify who I'm referring to?

NO.
And count me as another who is glad he is gone.

Huh. So I see Marcel as being chiefly socially tone-deaf and I kind of blame Mike I for not dealing with him well. And I blame him because of what he said at the end which suggested (to me) that he realizes that Marcel is inept socially but was not mature enough himself to not rise to the bait. But aside from that: it was interesting that none of them did a very good dish. It's like the spirit of disunity that they began with completely frelled their ability to cook anything decent.
I'm very happy that Richard won - I had completely forgotten that Dale had been eliminated for his season's Restaurant Wars.
ION, I just found this feature in the Chicago Reader: a chef is challenged with an ingredient - then challenges another chef with a different ingredient, etc. Lots of fun. Link is to the first challenge: Grant Achatz with a se Asian nut.
