MEET US IN MONTAUK: That was a deliberate Eternal Sunshine reference to open up Top Chef All Stars, right? Loved, loved anything having to do with Marcel and Dale last night, and the level of drama regarding the outcome was suitably high and tense. Recap here, but let me highlight two other comments. First, @FabioViviani tweets:
SORRY GUEST JUDGE if you do the 95% of the knife work means you did all the dish ! Idiot ! Whats left ? Sautee a Pc of fish ? Puree corn ?
Anthony Bourdain:
Who will rise to grab the Crown of Douchedom from the vacant throne? Marcel seems to be doing his best to live up to her standards. Apparently, all you have to do is feed Marcel a little alcohol and he starts thinking he's an OG, flashing a dizzying array of half-assed hand gestures and gettin' all gangsta and shit. And right up in your face, too! It's really an amazement that Marcel has made it this far through life without getting a proverbial pencil in his neck. On the prison tier of existence, he seems designed to be a victim. May you live long and prosper, Marcel. You make good television. Especially your menacing exhortation to your cellies that should they not live up to your high standards, they should just "Get the f--k out tha game!" I tell you, that gave me chills. Reminded me the time Suge Knight held me upside down off the hotel balcony and asked for half my publishing.
