Top of the Morning to ya! Yep, I just woke up minutes ago after sleeping all day again barely in time for this two hour Top Chef recap. My mind is not awake yet and keeps telling me to go back to sleep. But, I really want to know who wins this fantastic season of […]
Top Chef Recap: Cactus Makes Perfect
We are getting close to the end on Tonight’s Top Chef Recap. Let’s see who goes home tonight. I’ll probably cry for whoever it is because I love them all. I’d kind of love for Sarah to be the comeback kid and win the whole thing. I love that she won last week. Beating Budda […]
Top Chef Recap: What You Sea Is What You Get
Well, Gang, it looks like for tonight’s Top Chef Recap we are going fishing! I used to love to fish but not on a boat. I’m a puker. I hope the weather gets better by morning. At least Tom gave them some nausea meds. The next morning we learn that Damarr has never fished. There […]
Top Chef Recap: Family Vacation
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: Dinner in Zero Gravity
Once again, the Bravo website doesn’t even list the title of the show or give up any previews making a Top Chef recap more difficult. I remember when I first started this website, Bravo kept offing me gifts like pots and pans or free online cooking lessons to cover Top Chef. I wasn’t interested in […]
Top Chef Recap: Freedmen’s Town
It’s less than an hour before the show airs for this Top Chef Recap and there are ZERO clips on the website for this episode. It’s barely listed at all. I wish Bravo would publicize the good shops as much as they do the trash TV. Oh I just went to NBCu Media Village expecting […]
Top Chef Recap: It’s Time For Restaurant Wars!
Welcome to Restaurant Wars! This will be the best challenge of the season. I’m really looking forward to writing a Top Chef Recap more so than usual. Coming off a week of grown ass women whipping wine glasses at each other and pushing over tables at public dinners, ganging up on each other while wearing […]
Top Chef Recap: Swallow The Competition
Whoever is in charge of the Bravo website is doing a crappy job. Fortunately, the NBCu Media site had some photos available for tonight’s Top Chef recap. I hope the challenges are better than they stupid ones from last week. Luke is losing his confidence in the game. The quickfire will be focused on Nigerian […]
Top Chef Recap: Texas Trailblaze-hers
It’s time for a Top Chef recap and we will all get to see who is coming back from part one of Top Chef Last Chance Kitchen. It’s time for the Quickfire but first, Ashleigh rejoins the competition. Then, half of the chefs must pick a sweet ingredient and the other half have to pick […]
Top Chef Recap: Don’t Mess With BBQ!
YAY! It is Top Chef recap night and tonight is all about BBQ! Yum! Sadly, Brooke Williamson is the guest judge and one of the very few Top Chefs I don’t care for. Nonetheless she is telling the chefs that they need to “reinvent” Texas BBQ. Um, WHY? I hate this challenge already. Leave Texas […]
Top Chef Recap: Double The Dishes, Double The Eliminations
Who is ready for another Top Chef recap? It looks like tonight they will be paired up and BOTH members of the losing team, will be eliminated. Or maybe the two least favorite dishes across the board? I have not had time to see the previews tonight, but I really prefer going in with no […]
Top Chef Recap: Noodles And Rice And Everything Nice
I am so looking forward to the Top Chef recap. It’s been one of the worst mental health days ever. I just need to watch a bunch of people cooking fancy food. Also, Master Chef Junior premieres at the same time! I may end up recapping that too. Because, I love Master Chef Junior! I […]
Top Chef Recap: Friday Night Bites
This Top Chef recap is going to be quite the jolt since I’ve been watching the Jussie Smollett sentencing all day. Like really it took all day. But, once the sentence was handed down, all hell broke loose with Jussie. Read my real time recap here. Then, as I was doing set-ups the news was […]
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: Trouble Brewing
This Top Chef recap is going to be rather brief. I was trying to stay awake to start it on time, but laid my head down for second while watching the trial and half way woke up when the phone started ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing. I was convinced someone had died. I […]
Top Chef Recap: First Impressions
It’s time for a new season of Top Chef and I am hoping that this will pull me out of my funk. Even though life is collapsing all around me. If you missed what the big scary noise was during the RHONJ recap, click here. Let’s get to the Top Chef recap, from Portland. The […]
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 […]
