Vince stared out the window at a club-footed pigeon on the sill. He watched as it aimlessly bobbed up and down, preened and cooed at nothing. It flew away for a moment and returned with a small piece of hot-dog bun.
He rubbed his forehead and brushed away a strand of curly hair. "I need to book a haircut."
He then lunged at his own crotch, attempting Marilyn Manson-esque contortions he knew would be fruitless.
Thanks for the Keitha reference - happy to be one of the six people. While they had the most creative dishes, I am OK that Amar and Sarah got eliminated after Colichio basically saved their seafood wellington by pushing them to use a crepe.
I traveled to London for a week and a half at the end of April, and the dim sum lunch at A.Wong (Andrew Wong's place) was my absolute favorite of several terrific meals: https://www.awong.co.uk/food-menu/dim-sum-lunch
He's awesome, and it was a delight seeing him on my TV!
I know the Top Chef producers often hide certain cooking implements (like rice cookers) during challenges. I wonder if they did that here with meat thermometers?
I thought Kristin Kish seemed like the lock from the start, on her and Brooke Williamson's original season. It was a tight race, sure, but I legit won a bottle of Talisker betting on Kish, lol.
Other than that, wasn't there a season where the judges basically admitted they knew who was going to win almost immediately, and then he did, and then it turned out he was a domestic abuser or something? Paul whatever, I don't remember that season well, but I think they also edited it pretty hard, so it wasn't so obvious he was running away with it.
My two favorite cheftestants being sent home with a bit of sketchy judging days after the Sixers embarrassing themselves hit me a little too hard. Now if Charbel walks through that door next week it will be the least personality possible in this final four.
I agree on your undercooked/underseasoned reasoning. I’d send a dish back to be cooked longer or replaced, so that’s fixable, but I’m not going to send a dish to be seasoned more- I’d just never eat it again, figuring it’s not for me.

He sighed. Oh well. Maybe some day.
Sarah’s wine pours (for herself) are amazing. All the way to the top.
This was without a doubt the HOTTEST Top Chef ever. EVER. Gail with her barrette. Tom and Ali together. Andrew Wong was just hanging out. Buddha!!

Melissa King was a fave two-seasoner for me.
Folks only familiar with Ramsey's US version of Nightmares are encouraged to watch the original UK version. Much more earnest in intent and execution.
Really dislike Buddha even in his own season. I pray that he doesn’t win this season.
