Hot dogs and ostrich eggs were important ingredients on last night's episode of Top Chef [1]. Things heated up in the kitchen of Tom Colicchio [2]'s Craft [3] as the cheftestants had to make "new-American" cuisine. To discuss the episode (warning: spoilers ahead), .
- Is Fabio for real? How can he possibly be every Italian cliché all rolled into one guy? Wasn't it hysterical when he defended his winning dish?
- Do you consider hot dogs to be a quintessential New York dish?
- Were you surprised by Radhika's quickfire win?
- Does your Whole Foods [4] have mini pull carts? Mine doesn't!
- Would you have told Ariane her dessert was too sweet?
- Do or don't: cooking with canned crab on Top Chef?
- Gail was wearing the same dress [5] she wore to the Macy's Culinary Council Party [6]! Fab approves [7].
- Donatella [8] mentioned that many of the dishes were dated in their presentation. Is good presentation as important as delicious flavor?
- After watching this video of Jill [9] on the Internet last week, I knew she was headed for the chopping block. Thoughts?
- Now that we know the chefs a little better, who do you like/dislike? I'll start: I like Jamie, the Euros, and Richard. I dislike Carla, Alex, and Danny.
