TOP CHEFERY
ANTM is over and so is Survivor but thank goodness I still have Top Chef.
The show opens with the women excited about 3 women in the final four. I’ll be excited if Lisa is not one of them. Is that mean? Well, I’m still bitter so I don’t care.
The Quickfire challenge is top butchery. Spike was the man with the dry aged long bone in rib eye or at least that’s what he thinks.
Padma and a guy named Rick Tramonto are waiting at the Top Chef kitchen and they have to prepare their steak for Rick. He likes his meat medium rare. OK. I’d never know what to do with than bit of info.
Richard made me laugh when he said he liked playing with a lots of meat things. Suddenly I was 12 years old. Tee hee.
Loved Antonia with all her butter. She was a second Paula Deen. My kind of girl.
Bottoms were: Stephanie, Richard
Tops were: Lisa (UGH!) Spike and Antonia
Winner was: Spike. He knows his way around a meat market. Why am I not surprised?
Elimination challenge is they are taking over Ricks Steak house for the night. Uh-oh. Feel’s very Hell’s Kitchen to me. It could be a problem.
All the chefs have 3hours to make an appetizer and a main dish.
Spike got first dibs as the quickfire winner.
The chefs are making:
Spike- scallops and Tomahawk chops. Everyone is giving him crap about his frozen scallops. Even Tom. Ha! Every time he tries to screw over the other it always backfires. He’ll never learn.
Antonia- warm mushroom with artichokes and rib eye
Stephanie –veal sweetbreads appetizer and beef tenderloin. Folks are going nuts over her. I smell victory.
Richard-Crispy sweetbreads appetizer was good. Prime Beef tenderloin. I love how he’s thinking of his wife home working hard. That’s sweet.
Antonia-mushroom and artichoke salad.
Lisa- Grilled shrimp and NY strip with spicy apple and peanut butter. Tom pulled a face on her with that one. Not 3 minutes into things was Lisa already talking sabotage. Is she serious with that crap?
Tom is the expediter in the kitchen, meaning he’s the head guy in charge overseeing everything. So they had better not mess up in the kitchen.
Judges love Stephanie’s entrée. Surprise. Surprise.
Sidebar: The survey this week was which chef was sent home too early. Andrew, Jen or Dale. Of course Dale won. I know this poll went up because the Bravo message boards probably went wild when Dale was booted last week. Hence the poll this week. They know a screw up when they see it. I see a whole new show here. The battle of the prematurely eliminated. Two easy picks off the top of my head: Dale and Tre. Who would you add?
The VIP’s arrive and it’s Hung, Howard and Ilan, all past winners. Hung look hyped on, well, I don’t want to know what. Let’s just say life, shall we?
Tom ran a smooth kitchen. No, not Hell’s Kitchen there.
Back in the NSG room and the chefs are ready to hit the sauce, but Padma calls them all in before the drinking game can begin.
First up is Richard. They like the appetizer want more sweetbreads. Entrée was nice.
Stephanie They like all around. She is the shizzle! She did sweetbreads too. Note to self: try sweetbreads.
Lisa was a problem with the app and the entrée
Antonia The like-ee
Spike they like his meat, but not his scallops. The judges tell him he should have never picked the frozen scallops. The Spike the big dummy tells Rick; well he should have never had them in his restaurant’s cooler. Oh, no he didn’t! Crazy!! I can already hear it. “Spike, pack your fedora and go.”
In the NSG room he realizes he was an idiot for it. Um, yeah.
Back to the judges it’s down to Lisa and Spike to go home who will it be?
First the winner. No surprise there its Stephanie. Woo hoo!
Richard and Antonia also go to Puerto Rico.
Now back to Lisa and Spike. I so wish it was down to these two last week. But the loser this week is…Spike. UGH!
I’m even sad to see Fedora Spike go over Lisa and you know how I feel about him. When will it be ding-dong the witch is dead? Next week off to Puerto Rico and if my eyes don’t deceive me, I think she washes and cuts her hair. Hmm worth tuning in.
Best,
Kwana

of Spike and Lisa, he seemed to be the better chef. But damn what was he thinking mouthing off like that?
Both of their attitudes suck. She should've just gone home for her posture and the look on her face.
Oh well. We know she won't win, so it's all good. LOL
I can no longer read your blog b/c Im so behind on my reality tv. As soon as I catch up, Ill be back to comment on things you've moved on from :)
PS: I Love your puP!
I think the mouthing off thing shows how ridiculous he would be in the real world - if he did that in a restaurant?! Maybe he wouldn't do it in a real restaurant...who knows.
I can't believe I was voting for Spike when it came down to him and Lisa...and you're right - that would have been the best two LAST week.
Go Stephanie!!!
Mel, you are so right. Get rid of Lisa for the look on her face alone!
Sorry for the spoilers Mrs. Limestone. Please check on other other days. I love to hear from you.
Hi Liza. I know from you blog that you vote is for dale and a bit of Andrew. I was a little sad to see crazy go. Once again it was Lisa. Ugh. Yes, Go Stephanie!
Thank God Spike is finally gone. I sort of want Lisa to win just so she'll have some money to buy a bottle of shampoo and conditioner. LOL!!!
It's definitely going to be Antonia, Stephanie, and Richard. I say let all three of them win.
I'm sorry...but what am I missing here with this whole love and devotion towards Dale? I don't get it. He was annoying, never owned up to do anything wrong, and always pointed fingers at others instead of taking responsibility. I do NOT understand what everyone else is seeing that I'm not seeing.
I hated when Tre got kicked off...and for such an asinine reason! Miss him!
I was VERY unimpressed with Elan last night in the judging. First of all, he looked like he was 13 years old. Secondly, could he not put on a shirt with a collar to sit at the judge's table? And he ate atrociously...with his fingers...licking his fingers and eating off his knife. What is wrong with him? Poor Harold was having trouble navigating the knife and fork, but at least he didn't use his fingers. And his hair...what happened...looks like he has the mange!
Oh...and I want to put a cattle prod to Gail every time she says "actually." It's ever other freaking word in her vocabulary. She uses it two, three times in a sentence sometimes. UGH!
Ah well...end of my bitchery. LOL!! I think the finale will be good, even though Lisa is in it. I don't see how she lasted longer than Jen or Zoe. Both much more talented.
Marley, you are on a roll today. A roll! I love it. I still disagree about Dale. He did stand up for his dishes and say what he cooked and what he didn't. Lisa was the queen of throwing people under the bus, but we agree on that. Dale actually won lots of challenges. Lots. And Lisa got kudos on one ugly cake. That's it. It's Dale had a bade attitude but good food. I still loves ya.
Kwana -
The first person I thought about when I realized that Lisa would be going to Puerto Rico was YOU! My condolences...

XOXOXO
By the way, I got your "tag" (grumble, grumble) - but I haven't had time to post my responses. I'll let you know when I do.
Thanks for thinking of me David. It's nice to be loved. Sorry about the tag. Just post on some slow day.
If you read David Dust's blog he heard that the producers want a woman to win. I think they need to help the odds and that is why Lisa is still there. I can't believe I was rooting for Spike too. I like Stephanie.
You know I read David Dust. I think he was being funny though. I heart him! Check out my post tomorrow on what judge Tom said about Dale. I sure hope Steph wins.
I didn't want Spike to leave. He was soooo handsome! i would've preferred to see Lisa go for sure! I still hope Stephanie wins and represents for Chicago!!! :-)
