By the time this is posted I know the next episode of Top Chef is in a few days, so I thought I would recap my favorite highlights from the last show to see if anyone agrees, disagrees, or is even reading this. The last Top Chef was interesting in a few ways and when I say interesting, I mean I thought it was kind of a hot mess.

Did Toby Young know he was on a cooking show? I find him an extremely talented writer and wit, but enough with the acting and movie quips. Congratulations on being a producer on a movie, made from a book you wrote. I wanna hear about food and fast forward whenever Padma speaks. Although I will admit, his vocals left it impossible for her to get a word in. Score for editing.

Woo hoo Ariane! I’ve been reading on the web and people still think she can’t cook. Has she or has she not been kicking butt?

The clip of Fabio saying it was “Top chef, not top scallops”. Although it was great to see Jamie represent for Team Rainbow, scallops a winner do not make. Or soup. Scallops AND soup. Next week Jamie, just say no.

Gene is a big bummer. A BIG one. I wanted to root for him, but grumpy Hawaiian’s? Is that even legal? I want my island chef to be happy whether he wants to or not. Dude, you live in paradise.

Blondy bangs Melissa was really quite sweet. She was a very sincere contestant and I’m sure once or twice she has made a bitchin fish taco, but she was boring. I wish I only cared about the food they cooked, but personality counts when it is reality tv. I forgot her name while writing this and had to look it up. That is not a lasting impression.

If Fabio is the Italian Stallion, would that make Stefan the Ivan Drago of the show? (Rocky lV people!!) I know Stefan is from Finland and Ivan was from the Soviet Union, but I dislike their characters about the same.
