Top Chef: Kentucky

[spystud13 2371]

I’ve missed my Padma. Premieres Thursday, December 6 at 8. Trailer looks damn good. 

 

 

 

 

[Biff Tannen 45711]

I just finished re-watching the last season.  Gonna be tough to follow that up.  But let's do this shit.

[Radical Larry 28660]

I'm in.

[spystud13 2371]

Damn, Fatima only has a year to live.

[Radical Larry 28660]

Shit, that's horrible. 

[DougO 5256]

I bet none of those hacks could even whip up a decent batch of possum stew or deviled hawk eggs.

[Neonmoon 38130]

Padma is such a cunt. 

Totally in

[spystud13 2371]

Bump for tomorrow, 8:00-9:15.

And, unfortunately, this entire season will try and use this as some sort of ratings grab. They'll have at least one "very special episode" where they bring her back.

I generally have to watch it a day late as I ditched cable a while back and the Bravo app doesn't tend to load new episodes until the next day.  Grrrr.

[usmc0331horn 963]

I hope they do something really great for Bourdain. This season might be rough.

There is a Padma anal sex episode?

[Texas St. Armadillos 1381]

Make your best bourbon dish. Go.

Me:  (produces glass pours 3 fingers).  I'm done.

[spystud13 2371]

12 years ago, look how pronounced her scar was then. 

 

 

[kevwun 15854]

I've always wondered why the scar is so big.  Did the doctor perform surgery with a butter knife?

[Pig Bellmont 8720]

Maybe they can fuck up bbq again this season. And I’m def in. I always enjoy this show- even in the crap years

[spystud13 2371]

Pretty damn good first episode, dug the W/P/S theme. 

Thought for sure Blondie was going home first simply because she got so much TV time early. 

This Eddie Konrad cat has been on another cooking show I’ve seen, but can’t for the life of me remember which. Maybe Beat Bobby Flay? 

 

And Padma was trying to cut glass in that white top. 

[thrillhammer 684]

did not agree with biscuit chick going home.  her dish was way more complex than beets and ricotta.  at least she made an effort.  i thought the arugula dude should have been axed but oh well.

[Neonmoon 38130]

Beets and Ricotta should have gone home. 

Blondo looks like a sorority girl that gets way too drunk and cries about her boyfriend while throwing up. 

Def want Nazi guy to lose badly. 

Winner girl is sneaky attractive 

[idigTexas 2289]

No one likes a soggy biscuit, but agree with those who would have rewarded ambition over mediocre execution of a blah dish.  I think she needs to revise the dish so the biscuit stays dry until eaten. 

Smugness is common in chefs.  Hoping a few get their comeuppance early and often. 

[spystud13 2371]

It really wasn’t ambition though, she admitted she makes those biscuits every day in her restaurant. She just failed. 

[idigTexas 2289]

Making something every day does not preclude it from being ambitious, but I agree that she failed.

As for how she fared in LCK...

Spoiler

She failed with biscuits again.  Some people just aren't able to adapt to the challenges that come with the competition, and someone has to go home first.  Nice to see Brother, Jim, and Carrie all getting another shot.  All three are talented and likeable.

It's genetic and common in people from that area of the world.

I believe Eddie was on Iron Chef or one of its offshoots.

[spystud13 2371]

Assume he means the bossy younger dude.

Also known as the bossy younger dude.

Jesus, check out the name of his family’s chocolate shop growing up.

Replay is on now, this has to be the sickest mansion they’ve ever been in, right?

[spystud13 2371]

Well, that fucking sucks. 

Has anyone gone from win to house that quickly? 

[spystud13 2371]

The fucking tall dude with the hair is the early leader for most annoying.

Agree that sucks but it's been pretty proven throughout all of the seasons if you can avoid doing desert it's probably a good idea. That said aside from getting fucked by not having enough lemons that isn't the type of desert you do when it's hot and humid as shit out. 

Sucks for her but she was pretty much screwed from the start with their cooking set up. 

[Pig Bellmont 8720]

Never do a dessert! Has she not seen the show before?

That episode was like watching a slow motion train wreck with the Black Team. Holy moly 

[spystud13 2371]

I do enjoy when one team just fucking murders the other though.

I still can't believe they allowed that dude to use a third of the teams budget on his fucking lamb. I would have told him to put half of it back. Not to mention it wasn't like the serving size was all that big. 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Sooooo who is the ghost on the red team? She was wearing the navy blue headband. She hasn’t spoken on camera as far as I remember and the judges didn’t talk to her. 

Did she commit a crime after the show?  Are they editing her out?

[Biff Tannen 45711]

I think chicken and dumplings should have gone home over Natalie.  She was definitely affected by the budget, while he was not.  His was just poor execution.

 

[kevwun 15854]

I don't know what the person in that situation is supposed to do other than throw an absolute fit inside Whole Foods.

Can we get a screen cap or something? My recording is long deleted.

Michelle Minori, 

[Biff Tannen 45711]

Odd

[Knoxtnhorn 6065]

Sucks the girl had to leave when she was partially screwed by her team.  I think she fell victim to, "Two chefs at the bottom; keep the personality".  I think that guy will be edited in as the antagonist.

I could never be confused with a foodie.  That being said, the family style meals they ate before the challenge did not look that great to me.

It wasn’t “foodie” food — it was “country” Kentucky food.  Think of going to a church dinner in East Texas — lots of really good comfort food, not haute cuisine.  The idea was they were supposed to take the concepts and elevate them to “foodie food,”.   Black team failed miserably.

I'll miss Gail this season but Nilou is a nice sub if she's going to be sticking around

I get that.  I love 95% of what I'd find at an East Texas church dinner.  But quite a bit of what I saw on the show wouldn't appeal to me - frog legs, bean soup, the thing the girl served in the mason jar, banana croquette with peanut butter, etc
