OUR WEEKLY POST -- FOR THE HALIBUT: I have nothing interesting to say about Top Chef Vegas this week -- some favorites were threatened, but in the end we're still in what Scott Tobias rightly calls (via Roger Angell) the "dusty middle innings [...] there’s still plenty of game to go, but right now we’re in that listless inertia period of the season, waiting for the chaff to go away and the serious competitors to take over." Challenges blah, ideas blah, product placement blah, elimination blah, and Eli's kind of a dick, isn't he, though not as much as Mike Isabella yet.

In other food news, I'm watching Next Iron Chef for the first time this season because of our particular rooting interest in Philadelphia's Jose Garces. Anyone else watching (anyone else have a cockscomb recipe?), and is this generally a series worth the time?
