What Lee Anne said about Sunset Lounge:
"Sunset Lounge" was Stefan's idea, go figure. They are very lucky that The Italian Stallion volunteered for front of the house; charming, dapper, and understanding of what sort of energy they would need for the customers in order to win.
The egg roll tasted like takeout, while the "Two Way Sashimi" was another example of terrible conception; I think "two ways" implies two different preparations, not a slice of tuna and a slice of salmon both with a slice of radish, jalapeno, and cilantro leaf, with the same soy vinaigrette. Beyond that, just boring, amateur, and underseasoned. The soup was thin in texture and the color of baby vomit.
Leah's raw black cod sat in this rice vinegar soupy base, which was maybe supposed to be reminiscent of a hot and sour tom yum style broth, but just ended up tasting sour. Really the most offensive dish of the evening. The short ribs were decent, but it was Stefan's desserts that really saved his team (or rather Leah) from the chopping block. They were both delicious and creative.
Huh - I can see the blogs in IE but not Firefox. Weird!
Also, I thought the TAR contestant looked like Mike White, but I didn't realize it IS Mike White: [link]
And, once again, I find myself wishing I could go back in time and apply for the first seasons, you know, when they had (for the most part) real people.
I know. I hate seeing all these people out of casting central. They especially can't seem to resist when it comes to the all-female teams. Irritating.
It's gotten to the point where I'll root by default for anyone who's not a model or a cheerleader.

Seriously. Although it is cracking me up that Mike White and his gay dad are a team.
Is Fabio getting the loser cut?! "I want to win for my mama. She really sick." too much!
OMG - Stefan TANKS!!! Please let this be the scheundenfraude (sp?) round! Please!
Also? Andrew making fun of Stefan? Hilarious!!!
I don't usually subscribe to the producer intervention conspiracy theories, but Fabio hasn't cooked anything really good in a LONG time.
