I LOVE VODKA. I'M NOT COOKING WITH IT! Top Chef DC -- as lousy as the word "bipartisandwich" was -- got immediately more awesome
this week with the Healthy School Lunch challenge, combining smart limitations,
stoopid decisionmaking (Sherry? Two pounds of sugar?), a Stefan-level domination and some of the first real strategery (however long-term misguided) we've ever seen on the show. I'll admit it: good cooking's not enough; I like a season which brings the drama too.
Yes, we're enjoying it thus far. The challenges have been good, and there are some strong personalities.
ReplyDeletePlus, it's in DC! Nice to see locations that we know, and maybe we'll know someone....
I'm not won over yet... I don't *like* any of these people. It just leaves me cold, this season.
ReplyDeleteOn the strategery, the thing that killed me the most was that Kenny (1) seemed to suspect strategery immediately and (2) noted the vegetable problem, but (3) didn't speak up and say, dammit, you two have immunity, I demand some veggies.
ReplyDeleteAlso, while I admire the strategery effort, and I'm sure they go to great pains to say "elimination is based solely on performnace in that week," anyone who's watched the show knows that promise doesn't always (or even usually) get fulfilled, especially in the late game, making this strategery a particularly risky manuver.
ReplyDeleteWork of Art is good too
