Top chef!
Am I the only one who hears (or sings) the theme from “Top Cat” with that title?
Top Chef!
The indisputable leader of the gang!
He’s the boss, he’s a VIP, he’s a championship!
He’s the most tip top!
Top Chef!
Just me?1
Anyway, I’ll put the rest under the jump for those of you who haven’t caught up with your TiVo yet.
Okay, we’ve all already got a favorite and someone we already hate, right? Here’s mine:
After just two episodes, I can tell you this for certain: goddamn, I hate that Joey Bagadonuts guy. As someone of Italian descent and living in NYC, he just… makes us all look bad. He’s like a big spoiled child.
My other least favorite: ALL THE FAUXHAWKS. That shit only looks good on David Beckham five years ago and a few extremely foxy lesbians.
My personal favorite so far is Micah. She won me over with that first Quickfire Challenge fig-prosciutto thing and I haven’t looked back. I also like Sara and the insanely tall guy whose name I don’t remember.2
Other notes thus far:
Hung irritates me already but, according to my husband, “he brings it,”3 and I tend to agree.
I’m glad to see they’re dressing Gail in clothes that both fit and actually look halfway decent on her.
Getting back to last week… who put Cletus Clay on the show? Plus, isn’t this the recipe that made him, you know, lose? Why would I want to make that at home?
Well, that’s my take. What have you guys thought so far?
- I also like to sing Sinatra’s jingle for Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign whenever I go to Kennedy Fried Chicken. K-E-Double N-E-D-Y, I’d like mine with Coke and some fries… [↩]
- All of the favorites are subject to change without notice. [↩]
- I don’t know. I think he’s been watching the Tyra Banks show when he claims to be job hunting. [↩]

I’m glad someone else agrees about Joey! He’s such an ass that I cringe whenever he opens his mouth… he should have joined Clay (who I’m convinced was allowed to join the competition for the same reason American Idol has people who should never be allowed to sing in the shower performing on national TV - but I’ll admit the whole posting of the losing recipe is inspiring: maybe I’ll host a “Worst Recipes of Top Chef” thing the weekend before the finale… yeah, right, ‘cuz that would be a hell of a party) in leaving the show not a moment too soon. Oh well, there’s always next week!
My favs? I think Tre and Hung are probably great chefs, but I am oddly fixated on Camille. Why? Anyone who can say her philosphy of food preparation is to keep things “simple” and then serve seared kangaroo with abalone, maple and pumpkin seed fritters is too fuckin’ amazing for me not to admire!

Camille and Lia tend to blur into the same person in my mind: both cute, both women, both from Brooklyn.
I forgot to mention I also don’t really like Casey either. She just rubs me the wrong way.

Total agreement on Casey!
