It just seemed like a major creepy pimpage.

Most of them look too messy to me AND confusing and I HATE the inspirational cards too. <br /><br />What, you gonna tell me to "take care of each other?" Gee thanks, I would have never have thought that on my own! Take care of what's going on in your own house, church boy. Sheesh.

I think the original intent (in Top Chef Season 1) was to get a feel for the chefs knife skills. Here I think they hoping for something outside the envelope more along the lines of what Stephen Aspirino did in original challenge. It didn't really work. Perhaps it's the results that are throwing you.Big Shamuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297361034783510191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930710315732568255.post-30761760782093789182010-05-04T00:04:48.948-05:002010-05-04T00:04:48.948-05:00Shamy--amazin' commentary here.

LOVED IT.<br /><br />They oughta hire ya'.<br /><br />The fried pecan stuffed fig sounds delectable--but looked lackluster. <br /><br />BTW, there is a novel--a murder mystery--called the Fig Eater. Set in 1900 Austria. It is written by a fashion stylist--very very atmospheric in a food pornish sorta way.Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930710315732568255.post-82009611237943942672010-05-03T23:46:50.867-05:002010-05-03T23:46:50.867-05:00Hmm, I was also intrigued by Maria's offering ...Hmm, I was also intrigued by Maria's offering - but just based on the visual, I have no complaints with Jody's win.

It was the beginning of...The Look. Smug Superiority. He had it down. Andrea just set the fruit out. What's interesting is that Lisa (the mom) cut up fruit but also included the top of a pineapple. She got zinged for having something inedible on the plate and Stephen went so far to say it was Culinary School 101 not to put inedible garnishes as part of your dish. Guess Rick Tramonto doesn't enjoy that concept. <br />The reason you don't remember what most of the other chefs had in Season 1 was because it was mostly forgettable. Most of it was called buffet fruit plates. Also the Judge, Elizabeth Falkner only judged by appearance. No one tasted the food in that second Quickfire of the premier season.Big Shamuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297361034783510191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930710315732568255.post-17763646084988677142010-05-03T22:37:19.196-05:002010-05-03T22:37:19.196-05:00What befuddled me about these entries was that the...What befuddled me about these entries was that there seemed to be more fruit food prep than fruit food styling. Not that you can't have both on one plate. But some of these didn't look like much.<br /><br />Am racking my brain to recall what the entries were like in the original TC challenge. I believe Stephen won - was this the one with all those little cups? Can't for the life of me recall what anyone else did.Sharon Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598263732896925616noreply@blogger.com
