I'm done

with Top Chef.

That is a Load of Crap. Mediocre cooking for the win, clearly. I just don't see it.

At least I'm still planning on visiting Harold's restaurant at some point, hopefully this April as a pressie to me
Duck meatballs are SO FOR the win.

Who did you want to win? Stefan?

Actually I would have happy with either Stefan or Carla. Or Fabio. Or Jamie or Jeff.

About halfway through I just thought both Hosea and Leah were acting like jerks, and coasting. Stefan cooked some great stuff, and I could have died happy over his dessert tonight. That makes me pedestrian, according to Padma.

Overall, any number of the chefs could have been better. I suppose the only thing I can say is that Hosea timed his perfect meal to last. If Stefan had done what won him some of the last challenges, it would be all different.

Anyway, I'm SO planning on a trip to NYC to have dinner at Perilla. I'm not even going to question the cost, just put it on my plastic *grins*

It's funny cause after the semi-final, it seemed that the best dishes were Jeff's, Carla's and Hosea's and team Euro should have been sent home.

If Carla had cooked her own food, rather than listen to the sous chief, I bet that she would have won.

Stefan is a great chief, but a cocky bastard. It seemed that some of the episodes, he was coasting.

Grrr, Casey, screwing it up for Carla! Grrr, Carla, for listening to her!

Frankly, I suspect any of the three of them could have won it, with Richard as their sous chef.
