I loved the way Fabio handled that - Dale may have been the team captain but Fabio was really in charge.
I would be there right now.

He was great. "Don't yell at my servers."

I thought it was great that the judges acknowledged what a fantastic job Fabio was doing managing his servers.

One thing I've remembered is that Carla's experience isn't restaurant based - this may be why she did so poorly in her first Restaurant Wars and why she was picked last this time despite her wins.

I was confused about what thread I was in and got this image of the long-haired romance novel cover model working in campus IT.

I know Bourdain, for one, has mentioned in his writings how much he hates dealing with front of the house stuff, so I think there's a lot of respect for someone who can do it well, and pull off a really good dessert on top of it.

Tiffany really dodged a bullet there.
yes, she did. I was really unimpressed with her as front of house. And she seemed to move really slowly. Yes, part of your Front of House job is to schmooze, but also to pick up slack, let your servers know what's going on, etc.
Also, is it just me, or is Angelo way more sympathetic this time around?
It's like Tom said, he knew that there was a disaster, so he just kept his head down and tried to make a good dish. He failed at that, but that was his goal.
Seriously! The person (Carla) who won the last elimination challenge got picked dead last. WTF?
well, given her last Restaurant Wars where she sent out crap food with a lot of love, I can see the hesitation.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hey Vortex, did you get my email? How about a package?

I tried not to watch American Idol last night. I really did. But it's like crack, I'm pretty sure, and I can't not watch this show. I'm leaving for the boat in two days and I still watched it. It's a sickness.
I actually really liked it, though! I thought a lot of people were excellent, and I feel like the new judging panel might work really well together.
