On tonight’s Top Chef Recap we are not only hitting the road, we will be joined by a family member or two from the final six. This should be fun! STILL don’t understand why all of the good shows get very few view and and comments. I feel like the site is turning into place […]
Top Chef Recap: And The Winner Is…
I am trying so hard not to get spoiled because this Top Chef recap is late and everyone but me already knows who wins. So, I’m going to have little to say in the interest of time. So far Jaime is being worked to death by Dawn. The two of them still manage to have […]
Top Chef Recap: Shellfishly Delicious
On tonight’s Top Chef recap the final three will be responsible for catching their proteins themselves. They will be catching and cooking clams and crabs. The Final Quickfire Sadly, it’s time for the last quickfire of the season. I don’t want this season to end. Dawn is beating herself up for her plating issues. The […]
Top Chef Recap: The Cheesier The Better
We are down to the final four and I am not ready for my Top Chef recaps to be over anytime soon. And by the way, this was the most culturally diverse cast ever. It was also the most cohesive cast and the most enjoyable to watch. This is what inclusion looks like. There wasn’t […]
Top Chef Recap: Blind Ambitions
Guess what? It’s another great day at Chez Tamara. And on top of that, it’s Top Chef recap night! We are down to the final five and I would be happy with a win by any of them. I love them all! It’s a win, win, win, win, win situation! Oh No! I had to […]
Top Chef Recap: Tournament Of Tofu
After seeing the title of this episode, I’m less excited than usual about tonight’s Top Chef Recap. Tofu? Really? Is that still even a thing? Dawn, Jamie and Maria are excited to be part of the final six. Three women of color! For the quickfire, the teams are working in pairs to make a dish […]
Top Chef Recap: Portland-ia
Y’all, I am somehow behind on this Top Chef Recap. I had to take a call back from my new lawn person. Old lady homeowner problems. In my twilight years, I plan to never be a property owner again. I’m going to take the money and run and live a lavish life. And if I […]
Top Chef Recap: Restaurant Wars!
Tonight’s Top Chef recap will discuss the best episode of every season, Restaurant Wars! Let’s get right to it! We are down to eight chefs (with Sasha still defending Last Chance Kitchen). Byron gets the phone call from home. He’s very emotional. Everyone is excited for Restaurant Wars, but also really stressed by all the […]
Top Chef Recap: Feeding The Frontlines
I’m writing this Top Chef recap while asleep. I’m just now waking up. I had an early morning virtual graduation to attend this morning. I almost stayed up all night to attend this morning then when it was over I went back to bed and slept all day. Expect this to make less sense than […]
Top Chef Recap: Stumptown, USA
Tonight’s Top Chef Recap should be exciting because tonight’s Last Chance Kitchen winner will return to the show. So I predict a male chef will be leaving and returning. Then we will return to the vagicide already in progress. I won’t be able to watch. LCK until after I recap, the premiere of MDLNY right […]
Top Chef Recap: Meet You At The Drive-In
It’s Thursday night and that means it is Top Chef recap night! The only thing is I have thought it was Friday all day. Nanette graciously offered to send Top Chef photos for tonight. I still thought it was Friday night. But it is not. It is Thursday. So um yay? Let’s do this.
Top Chef Recap: Thrown For A Loop
It’s already time for a Top Chef recap. I feel like I keep missing days. Tonight they are doing a quickfire that requires them to use a can of Campbell’s soup. I cook with Campbell’s soup on occaision. But it is something that is not the kind of fine dining I expect from Top Chef. […]
Top Chef Recap: Pan African Portland
I have to tell you the NBCu suits love them some Top Chef. I just realized today that the Media/Press website has photos from the first four episodes of the Portland season. We are lucky to get one or two photos out of them total for most housewives shows. So, my Top Chef recaps are […]
Top Chef Recap: Finito!
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 […]
