A Trip Through Time and Space

    Liveblogging Top Chef Masters: Episode 2 top chef | (15)
    Master chefs Wylie Dufresne (wd-50), Suzanne Tracht (Jar), Graham Elliot Bowles (Graham Elliot Restaurant*) and Elizabeth Falkner (Orson & Citizen Cake) take on the Season 1 vending machine Quickfire challenge, followed by an elimination which, as described by Bravo, sounds super cheesy, so I won't tell you what it is so as not to spoil your child-like excitement before the show even airs. I'm hoping to see Elizabeth Falkner snap Dufresne's neck like a cheap pair of chopsticks. *WARNING: Highly irritating flash intro and music upon loading.  Dear Graham Elliot: No.  Sincerely, Concerned Internet User.

    Liveblogging Top Chef Masters: Episode 1 top chef | (22)
    The long national nightmare of not having any high-quality reality cooking television comes to an end tonight! Tonight, Hubert Keller (Fleur de Lys), Christopher Lee (Aureole), Michael Schlow (Radius Restaurant), and Tim Love (The Lonesome Dove Western Bistro) go head to head.  Also: If Jesus loves me he will make sure that Wylie Dufresne, whenever he appears, gets SPANKED. Details, cast and judges list and bios here. See you in two hours, fourteen minutes. Bonus rumor: Three words - Neil Patrick Harris. Keep going...

    Laissez les bon temps roulez. top chef | (15)
    Thank god that (1) there aren't that many episodes of Hell's Kitchen left and (2) this June redemption returns in the form of TOP CHEF MASTERS.  Top Chef, but with people we already know can cook.  I'm looking forward to it despite the fact that judge Kelly Choi's head is freakishly out of proportion to her body.  Seriously, look at the size of that thing.  It's like an orange on a toothpick, it is. People I want to succeed: Hubert Keller.  Art Smith.  People I want to FAIL: Michael Chiarello. Possibly also Wylie Dufresne; i still waver on whether or not ...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Finale, Part 2 top chef | (43)
    Final 3.  Bug-eyed awesome lady.  Fairly useless guy from Colorado.  Douchebag from Finland.  Not that I am in any way biased.  I will have ongoing backup of the post, so if Bluehost craps out again just wait 'til the end and the whole post should be up in short order, and you can read it while you watch the 11:00 re-run (though we've made it 2 weeks in a row, so fingers crossed).

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Finale, Part 1 top chef | (75)
    Finale. New Orleans. Schmemeril. FABIO!! sporting a troubling fauxhawk, and I say that as one who has had a TOTALLY KICKIN' one and knows her way around a fauxhaux. Also, the fauxhauk activates my vituperative Ilan hatred. The site did not crash during last week's ep, but this knowledge does not subdue my agita in any way. Fingers crossed, please. Keep going...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 12 top chef | (69)
    I don't really remember what is supposed to happen this week, although I've been having dreams about Leah being literally thrown under a bus all week.  No, I'm here to warn you that it is inevitable that something is going to go screwy with the site, probably more than once, during this episode.  Wordpress doesn't like processing multiple comments at once (Although it's not that many so I don't really get it - are you all commenting at the SAME EXACT SECOND during commercials? If so, cut it out.), and my host insists that I'm exceeding my CPU usage during ...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 11 top chef | (38)
    Screw the jelly, are you ready for Eric Ripert? Because he is coming, and either you think he's incredibly handsome or looks kind of like a Dolph Lundgren-esque serial killer. Either way, he's a dangerous man with a fillet knife. I know that last week the site went down once or twice during the show. I don't know if it was a freak thing, or if BlueHost is so completely pathetic that it can't handle 17 people hitting refresh at once. If it happens again, (1) don't panic and (2) it only lasts for a minute or two, ...

    Hung joins us this week, as do live chickens.  Toby Young continues his stint as guest judge, and it's a toss-up whether his pithy remarks will continue to amuse me, or whether he will Bourdain-ify before my disappointed eyes.
