I'm still hoping to get to Bayless's Xoco,
I went there the last time I was in Chicago (and ran into Brenda, hilariously), and it was fabulous. I recommend the pork belly vermicelli.
Mike Isabella is a flaming ass. He should have at least offered to split the money with Richard or given him a nice gift. I almost would have liked him better if he had refused to acknowledge that it was Richard's dish, rather than say it was Richard's idea, but he executed it.
ANTM: however, NOTHING has ever been as cringe-inducing as when Tyra decided the models would be weird ethnic mixes - i.e., Native American and Indian (from India), which had a girl in a sari and warbonnet.
Dinner at Stephanie Izard's restaurant tonight: [link]
The one of Carla in the suit with the cigarette is incredibly hot. Wow.
We are going to be in Chicago one night at the end of April and I just made a res at the girl and the goat!!
Argh. Tivo didn't catch TAR! I missed the first half. So annoying.
Nobody has anything to say about last night's TAR?
I loved it! Loved the periodic table clue, loved the vague reference to the anchor's name (and that several locals could ID it just based on the few words alone). Didn't love that only a few teams realized that all they had to do was find a computer with Google to look up those words, and also didn't love that Ron and Christine were not philiminated. They bug me too much, and I want them gone forthwith.
Ron was so very irritating last night "we don't follow the crowd" grrrr... I was so awesome that Kent was the only one who knew the periodic table. That A in Chem did come in handy! Next week looks sorta crazy - car accident? Oy!
I was very glad that Mallory's directions got them there ahead of Ron and Christina after all Ron's attitude about her. Just sad that they still made it in before the other team.
I have no stomach for watching R&C go through the same process again where he nits and nags and eventually learns to "trust" her.
