Re:Kevin D'Andrea--un TRAVAIL (spelling). Also "Le Kevin," though I know you were trying to match the apostrophe in his last name. No go with a consonant. I realize not everyone can be a French major, but there IS Google translate. Good article (minus the français)!
As someone from the Canadian side of the mid-west who has traveled in the American side, Wisconsin in particular has a creepy nice quality to it. Their cheese is, indeed, very good, but part of that is relative to how badly cheese sucks in, say, North Dakota.
So glad to see your Top Chef Power Rankings Vince! After watching the episodes I read them aloud to my wife - I think they double our enjoyment of the show. Please never stop!
Nickname suggestion for Dan: "Booyahbaisse," only because when he said "bouillabaisse" I thought he was saying "booyah," a very Wisconsin chicken stew, and got really excited for a second.
Interesting that #1 is the guy who looks most like you (rigged?). How can you not go straight to those ears for a nickname? Dumbo, Sonar, 5th Sense, Quiet Place, etc...
Charly is apparently straight. As a gay, I of course immediately get to zeroing in on the fellow 'mos each season and too clocked him, but he has a girlfriend (and business partner). Actually, Manny was my number one guess, with the piercings and overall well put together aesthetic. But alas, he too is straight.
Man am I happy you're still doing these recaps, thank you! Maybe the thing I look forward to the most the day after watching the episode. And certainly the reason I got Substack in the first place.
I was wondering what nicknames you’d have for David.
My first thought was “Postmates Malone”
Oh hell yes, my favourite run down of a show I've never seen is back!
Warm shishito salad has to be a parody dish. Also, would you consider "Paddington Buh! Buh!" Probably too racist.

Return of Top Chef + Vince's power rankings is like double Christmas. Never stop never stopping.

You know fuck all about the great lakes and then go on to trash Midwesterners? When I see you we are putting that black belt to the test*, mijo.
Glad to have these write ups back in my life. I started reading these before I ever saw the show.
pho butter!
*I kid. Please don't touch me. I'm over 40 and every joint on my body hurts.

Yes!!! So glad these Recaps (and the show) are back.
One thought though: isn't Gabe Erales from the Portland season Mexican-American? I know the show would prefer he doesn't exist though.

That said, we get Kristen, and she's amazing!
