I luv silver foxes
image by nicknbecka
Last night’s episode was salvaged only by the super chic Eric Ripert who makes me giggle when he speaks. And silver foxes are so yum. Anderson Cooper (gay… sad), Richard Gere (sans gerbil), sugar daddy’s, French chefs (Ripert in the house!). I did enjoy the fact that all the dishes were seafood, seeing as how I don’t cook or order fish dishes as much as I should.
It seems as though the chefs are getting better and I appreciate them more as a whole. Leah and Jaime were in the bottom two and it was no surprise, it’s just a shame they couldn’t eliminate two. Jamie knocked all of Chef Ripert’s food the whole episode and although I think she is talented, give me a fucking break. Top chef challenges are a means to an end, the finale where you can cook anything you want, it doesn’t matter if you like it. Way to go, you got to go home and Eric Ripert and his “boring” food sent you there. Leah… yuck, I just want her to leave. She. Is. Boring. And. So. Is. Her. Food.
Remember when you were in school and there was always a cool kids table? They appeared to know so much and seemed to be so much cooler. Apparently, someone not only invited Toby Young, but is PAYING him to sit at the cool table. Argh. Regardless, the judges were the best part, I enjoyed seeing Tom C’s looks of disdain toward Toby. Young is proving how ill suited he is to on the fly commentary, when he is so used to having editors proofread his past critiques. When is Bravo going to realize the boo boo and shoo shoo him out of there? They can throw Padma out with him, just for good measure. That’s the episode I want to see, producers chasing Toby and Padma with whisks and knives out the door.

I love, love LOVE Eric Ripert. He is such a humble and wonderful person, so kind, despite all of his success. I just want to wrap him up in a big bear hug. And then make him cook me a steak.

okay, for DC people – did anyone have a HORRIBLE time at west end. or was that just me? it kinda makes me not like eric, although i know he wasnt there. but this was also before the new chef came in. id like to hear some success stories before i go back.

gansie: I don’t know who I would prefer rather then Padma.
Lemmonex: The lips, the hair, the voice, the humble smile, the food. (sigh)
Lilu: He could cook me mac and cheese, ham sammy, spam, doesn’t matter.
Selba: FLickr has some great animal pics.
