After such a fantastic episode of MDLLA, that I just recapped, I was on such a high. And now, I find myself a tiny bit wistful that this fantastic season of Top Chef ends tonight. I will be happy for the winner and sad for the two who came so far without winning. One of […]
Top Chef Recap: Parma
I totally forgot about this show and am so happy that it is a Top Chef recap night! It will be a welcome change after RHONY I’m sure. And I haven’t even watched that yet since I am doing setups. And we are going to Parma, Italy! I need to make a cheese plate! Also, […]
Top Chef Recap: Lucca
Thursday nights tend to get away from me when it comes to Top Chef recaps. The hour of drunken screeching makes me need more wine. Yesterday was just a bad day from the moment I woke up til the moment I finally just called it a night. But today is a new day and I […]
Top Chef Recap: Michael’s Santa Monica
I am excited for tonight’s Top Chef recap! We are going to Italy! Last Chance Kitchen ends with the winner returning and the top five flying off to Italy! Let’s get right to it! I love a good trip to Italy! Banjo is mad because I am not sharing my salad with him. He doesn’t […]
Top Chef Recap: Colossal Coliseum Kaiseki
I’m really behind on recaps for this week. But I want to start with a Top Chef recap because I like it the best, and there are no screaming menopausal women. Things seem to be taking a toll on the final six at this point. Melissa in particular seems to be struggling. Stephanie seems a […]
Top Chef Recap: Cabin Fever
I’m excited to recap this episode of Top Chef. I don’t know what to do about my sleep schedule. I woke up at 4 am hungry. I’m having a whole lot of trouble eating because the anxiety is so bad, so I knew I had to get up and eat something. I made bacon and […]
Top Chef Recap: Restaurant Wars
Finally getting to this Top Chef Recap! I am so excited to watch this episode. I’ve had a lot of site work to do lately and on top of that I am rarely awake during any day light hours anymore. It’s easier to deal with the nightmares if I wake up in the daytime for […]
Top Chef Discussion Thread
So I was all holed up crying and being off the grid and suddenly Top Chef was on. You may have not noticed but I am not doing well. But first I want to thank all of you for taking care of me. I was lying down thinking of all the people who are not […]
Top Chef Recap: Get Your Phil
I’m trying to catch up on many recaps this weekend. I have a lot in the hopper to recap. I am going to start with a Top Chef recap and it probably won’t be terribly detailed. Moments ago I walked outside my door to check on the garden for less than five minutes, my legs […]
Top Chef Recap: Bring Your Loved One To Work
Someone I really want to talk to needs to know I can’t email him. Please contact me at [email protected] I have lost all access to my gmail!!! My computer crashed. I have no idea how long this laptop will hold up or of if you guys will ever see this very short Top Chef recap. […]
Top Chef Recap: You’re So Fresh!
I seem to be a woman of few words tonight. At least that was the case with the RHONY recap. Let’s see if I can be a little peppier for the Top Chef Recap. I do like when they show the chefs at their house all together. As usual, the guys are very loud and […]
Top Chef Recap: Strokes of Genius
It’s time for the Top Chef recap and my blood pressure is through the roof. I am debating whether to do it now or just wait to die as seems to be the theme for tonight. I think I’ll watch some of of Jeopardy episodes and drink some more wine first. And perhaps some solitaire. […]
Top Chef Recap: The Jonathan Gold Standard
I am woefully behind in recaps but I am excited to do this Top Chef recap. Apologies. I am making all the wrong choices and doing all the wrong things. It is hard when your exercise places shut down and better food choices are not always available. It is hard enough to make the right […]
Top Chef All Stars…
I need this in my life right now. If someone could send me a list of all the names separated by commas I would REALLY appreciate that. I need a bit of help right now. Sorry I am a bit late with this. I could use all sorts of help these days if anyone wants […]
Top Chef: Finale
Well, it has come down to the final two, Adrienne and Joe Flamm. I saw some of the marathon that ran today and had forgotten that nearly all the chefs had emotional breakdowns when Flamm was voted out. So all the chefs are probably rooting for him. He seems like a great guy. I also […]
Top Chef: A Little Place Called Aspen
Well, it’s down to Mustache Joe, Joesph Flamm and Adrienne Cheatham. Here is what it looks like overall. Mustache Joe has the most wins, but he’s been inconsistent in the last half of the season. He has recently gotten his groove back and appears to be the front runner. Joeseph Flamm flamed out and was […]
Top Chef: Nut Allergy
Y’all, I am still not over Christopher leaving last week. Or Moustache Joe winning. Or Carrie being on the bottom with Christopher. I need a Carrie win to make up for all of this. And tonight we go down to three. According to the episode guide, “The Voltaggio Brothers reunite on Top Chef for the […]
Top Chef: Cooking High
We are down to the final four. I did not realize the LCK winner would come back tonight. If I had, I would have made more of an effort to watch the last few episodes. I am swamped with recaps right now. That is why I keep talking about whether or not to drop a […]
Top Chef: Red Rum And Then Some
Carrie gets the phone call home. Her dad has some dementia stuff going on. She is the front-runner in my estimation so surely she not going home tonight. The challenge tonight happens at the Stanley Hotel which was the inspiration for The Shining. The quickfire is to make a dessert that represents their worst nightmare. […]
Top Chef: Bronco Brouhaha
I’ve noticed lately that the shows I like the most get the least amount comments and the show I like the least get the most. It seems like the trend is that being outraged my something is more proactive than enjoying something. That is precisely the reason shows like the housewives get such high ratings. […]
Top Chef: Restaurant Wars
I learned from the TV listing that Restaurant Wars will be men versus women. Do we even need to watch? Clearly women simply can’t work together. We learned that last week when Tanya went home. We were pretty evenly divided over whether Tanya or Claudette should have gone but when Tanya was a bit snippy […]
Top Chef: Olympic Dreams
First of all, in case you missed it, Chef Fatima Ali has cancer and surgery this week to remove a tumor from her shoulder. I haven’t been able to find any updates since the surgery. In better news, Bruce’s wife had a baby boy. Padma, and past Top Chef winner, Brooke, arrive at the Top […]
Top Chef: Now That’s A Lot Of Schnitzel!
It’s time for the gang to get themselves prepared for another challenging day. It seems no one wants to leave their bed after the camping expedition. They are all worn out from the high altitude. Lee Anne is sick and going to the hospital to make sure the baby is doing okay, she’s sitting out […]
Top Chef: This Is Not Glamping
When my DVR begins this program under extreme duress from everything else I asked it to tape tonight, the remaining chefs walk in to discover they have arrived in the last chance kitchen. That is because the winner of tonight’s challenge will be immediately allowed back in the competition. Kuame is cut. Tom can’t decide […]
