Did they say how much time the teams were given to brainstorm? Because I wonder if they just grabbed at the first idea anyone had because they thought they were strapped for time.
Still, I mean, you know Blue is going to be the last course. Blue cheese course, anyone? Blueberry tarts? I know nobody likes to make dessert, but COME ON.
Blue cheese course, anyone?
That's what I was thinking. Even something like blue cheese scones, if you wanted to do a savory sort of last course.
Not that scones are wildly gourmet, but still.
Talk of the vadouvan propelled me to Indian food buffet for lunch. Soooo good! but I ate way too much. Need nap stat.
(Man, when the don't want to show somebody you really just never even catch a glimpse do you!)
Well, to be honest, she's so disturbing looking that I don't want to see her.
(laughing)
Vortex, are you the one who can't look at her straight on?
Vortex, are you the one who can't look at her straight on?
I really can't. I have to look at her out of the corner of my eye. I kind of want to figure out what it is about her that is so disturbing, but I can't look at her long enough to figure it out.
I am almost positive it is a combination of the severe bang cut and the bad hair color. It's like stripes on a bowl.
At this point in the competition--like in every season of Top Chef--you can see where the clear competitors are, who will make it to the end if they can manage not to fuck up enormously. The only season I ever felt truly dissatisfied with the result was when not-Marcel won--neither of those dudes should have been the final two. Anyway, the narrative is shaping up with Jamie, Stephan, Fabio, and perhaps Leah if she pulls through. Wild cards--Jeff, possibly Ariane. I can more or less see everyone else getting cut unless they start pushing way harder and pull something really good.
I really liked the marinaded lamb over vadouvan carrot puree. It looked like something I would be eager to order at a restaurant.
I think that Eugene could sneak in there at the end. He's got a lot of raw talent.
Yeah, I would include Jeff and Eugene as wild cards. Ariane probably not so much. I think she's proven in the last couple rounds she's a decent *cook* but I don't know that she's an especially creative or innovative *chef*.
