OKAY, I GET IT. HE'S A FOOD NERD: Nerds -- perhaps by definition, perhaps merely by stereotype -- come freighted with some "my kung-fu is the best" arrogance about their area of nerdom, and can display a corresponding deficit of social grace. In my limited experience, when their kung fu is in fact the best, they may get away with it.
On the other hand, in the "it's all about the food" world of Top Chef where we, the viewers, can't taste the food that it's all about, there is no palpable proof in the proverbial pudding and I remain steadfastly unimpressed. Irritated, even, and unsympathetic. Plastic toolchests full of arcane cooking devices and magic emulsifying elixirs are cool, no doubt, but if that's all Bravo's got for a redemption edit then they've no hope of rallying me to Teen Wolf's side.
Otherwise, surprised and a little bit sad to see tonight's second elimiation. The Viewer's Choice/Congeniality award may provide the eliminee some consolation. Then again, how much consolation can you get for $10,000 in today's market?
And how about Padma's snarl on the night's first "pack your knives and go"? Delicious.
