Which is, ironically enough, pretty much the mantra for all New American Cuisine.
Right, exactly. Use fresh and, if at all possible, local. It makes me crazy when I know stuff that the chefs don't seem to know. Since I'm just an eater, reader, and unremarkable home cook.
And the three winners really fit into that, where they're sort of showcasing a fresh ingredient. (The dessert might be iffy there I guess, but at least wasn't totally fussy and overdone like most of the rest.) Which is nice to see, because the judging doesn't always reflect the stated point so well.
It's so sad that Top Model is so pathetic these days that they had the finale and we post not one post about it.
...anyone care? Yeah, I didn't really either. I wasn't surprised much, either. I think I probably liked McKey best. Though I was sorta a fan of Marjorie, really...sad she got kicked off before the end there...not that she would've won.
I've enjoyed the "where are they now" bits they've been doing this season, with girls from the past seasons.
Off the wall Top Chef question for New Yorkers: Is that the Whole Foods on Houston Street they're going to? Because the external shots are so tight, I can't be sure. But I think it is.
Is that the Whole Foods on Houston Street they're going to?
Yep, that's the one. It's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge. (And much fancier than other WF in the city, with it's own climate-controlled cheese room and such. If WF weren't a sponsor, I'd love to see them shopping at the giant Fairway in Red Hook instead.)
...anyone care? Yeah, I didn't really either. I wasn't surprised much, either.
Yeah, I neither was surprised nor cared. Meh!
I'm about ten mintues behind but oh please oh please oh please let Survivor play out the way it's looking right now.
Just catching up on Top Chef. I gotta get the SO obsessed enough to watch it realtime. We watch together, but not soon enough for me!
Anyway, love Eugene, he's my boy, go Hawaii. D. & I both really like Fabio. We like the way he's snarky; we'll see if it holds up over time, but right now we find him charming.
I was equally dismayed about the lack of understanding about New American, which was made clear by the comment by one of them about "contemporary American," which, yeah, there's your problem right there.
What's up with using ingredients you've never heard of before? Your problem might be you, and not the ingredient, people.
Survivor: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
