Topic: Flame Rising's Random "Top Chef" Musings

I had a little free time before dinner so I thought why not make a pointless thread? This will probably be a lonely little thread that no one but me uses, but hey, if anyone else wants to comment on TC, feel free!

My top picks—

Richard

Stephanie

Dale (gone. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Dark Horse—

Antonia

Middle--

Andrew (gone)

Lisa (who is apparently perpetually (Yes! Two fucking adverbs in a row!) constipated)

Spike (gone)

Bottom-

The Aussie (gone)

Nikkie (gone)

PS. Padma is fucking hot.

first post?

EDIT: Awesome, I did it. Now to think about my favorite chefs.

...I just realized I don't know any. Crap.

Hmmm...I do like the Chinese people who make Chinese food in the neighborhood.

I so want Andrew to win, just because it's time for an ADD/Ginger winner.

But then again, I'm a ginger, and we kinda tend to go towards our own kind.

Heck if I know. I just like the show.

By the way, the Aussie guy is actually from New Zealand.

Earlier while watching TV, I saw "Top Chef" on the list of channels, but I went ahead to watch another show about cats learning to lick heads of children and use toilets because I find that to be more entertaining.

I was always more of a Hell's Kitchen kind of girl. I did catch half of an episode of Top Chef....I think....they were making fancy tacos...

#5 Apr 30th, 8:06pm
Flame Rising

I watch "Hell's Kitchen" too because there's nowhere else I can see someone throw chicken against a wall and scream Shut it down! every week.

Things I never needed to hear:

"I have a culinary boner."--Andrew

Although he scored a few points with me when he said "It's an honor to cook with you, Chef" to his kid.

#6 Apr 30th, 8:28pm

"I have a culinary boner."--Andrew

*groan* He did not say that? Is it worth watching tonight?

#7 Apr 30th, 8:35pm

*groan* He did not say that? Is it worth watching tonight?

They had it as a blurb at the end.

Not really worth it. Kind of boring except when Mark says at the judge's table that he thinks Tom hates him.

Kind of boring except when Mark says at the judge's table that he thinks Tom hates him.

So, it's like all of the other episodes this season?

Yeah- I saw that in the previews. How does Tom react to that?

#9 Apr 30th, 8:40pm
Flame Rising

He tries to convince him he's not. I don't think Mark believed it.

Second quote I never needed to hear--

"It makes me want to go home and make some babies." --Richard

Count your blessings... at least it wasn't Andrew or constipated chick.

#11 Apr 30th, 8:47pm

That constipated chick bugs the shit out of me.

(Which is ironic considering she's constipated and all)

#12 Apr 30th, 8:57pm

I'll tell you how not worth watching it was, I fell asleep half way through and woke up in time for Padma to say someones dish was the most disgusting thing she'd ever eaten, watch constipatedgirl screw up her mouth like she does when told her "fabulous" food sucks, and the Kiwi bite the dust.

I wish I'd seen this before wasting yet another hour of my life. This season sucks!

I stopped watching Top CHef after the second season. I just liked to see everyone ragging on Marcel.

Okay, I only watched the end to see who got sent home. Now I'm watching the beginning on DVR, and all I can say is:

Mis en place! Mis en place!

Best quote so far:

"I have not seen this much emotion...from myself!"

Holy shit! Dale just flipped out!

Oh God! That just threw me back to the days of waitressing at a fancy-schmancy restaurant while working my way through grad school.

SW was just traumatized by the boner comment. ;)

#20 May 07th, 8:32pm

Hell, I was just traumatized by the thought of Dale wearing a diaper.

I sooooooooooooooo don't want to know what this is all about. Did he pull a crazed NASA astronaut stunt?

#22 May 07th, 8:38pm
Flame Rising

No--after he had a tantrum, one of them said something like, "He's off to get his diaper changed now."

I like Dale, but come on! It's just...

MIS EN PLACE!

(I just like saying that.)

#23 May 07th, 8:45pm

"I'm Popeye's wet fucking dream right now."

(I just like saying that.)

Thanks a lot! I will now have waitressing stress- dreams tonight. The type where I have a huge section to serve and get caught up with a table of ladies who take forever to order stupid umbrella drinks. Then I turn around and every table has people sitting at it.

#25 May 07th, 8:49pm

To quote fabs- Oh. Ew!

I think I'll skip TC tonight.

Top Chef Update:

1. Whine the most - Two way tie, Nikki (I'm dizzy, I'm dehydrated, I'm not taking responsibility as Executive chef on this),

Dale (Justifiable tirade at Judges Table)

2. Cry the most - Spike.....as usual.

3. Say the stupidest thing - It was going to be a two way tie, but Andrew won hands down for the "Popeye" & "Boner" comments.

4. Look constipated - Lisa at Judges table...as usual, though she actually smiled when they said her cake was good, I thought her face would crack.

5. Be out the door - Brick 'o Velveeta (I knew that the minute she said "Dale and I have different philosophies on ragout, then proceeded to let the whole team do whatever they wanted......ah were you not watching the previous three seasons?)

#27 May 08th, 5:37am
piewacket

Can they possibly whine any more?

Though, I do have to say I like Richard. While he should have gone home a couple of episodes ago for the fish scales, he's a class act. He reminds me of Harold from the first season.

Found it. :-)

I like Richard a lot. I'm semi-upset over Andrew leaving. He was kind of growing on me (like an unwanted genital wart, but he had his moments). I'm shocked at how much lower the caliber is this season. Even the challenges seem uninspired. Last night was a recycled one of last season with reinventing an unhealthy dish.

LOL And when exactly does a genital wart have its moments? And even more importantly, is there such a thing as a wanted genital wart? ;)

I was out of town and did not see last night's episode. I'll have to catch one of the endless repeats this weekend.

Hey Myrina! Always nice to have another devotee of TC.;)

I'm semi-upset over Andrew leaving.

I was glad to see him go, he's been jumping around on the last two challenges like a monkey on crack (no disrespect to monkey's intended). His mannerisms and attitude were annoying to the extreme.

The whole show has been recycling itself most of the season, but I guess that's to be expected after several seasons, I mean how many ways can you cook, or not cook a scallop.

F/R, prediction on the winner this year: Antonia.

#31 May 16th, 6:44am

Woot! My sweetie, Anthony Bourdain, is going to be the guest judge this week.

As F/R would say...Bourdain is hot!

Taking bets, Dale or Lisa?

#34 May 21st, 7:41pm

Taking bets, Dale or Lisa?

Since it's not on here until 10:00, I'm taking a wild guess. I say...Dale.

Bourdain is the shitz!

Hey! I wonder if he is single? ;)

#35 May 21st, 7:44pm

Hey! I wonder if he is single? ;)

He's wearing a wedding ring, darn. I've got it figured out who is going home, but I'll keep it to myself so it will be a surprise for you,;)

Edit: Gah, I was right, crap.

Who? Who went home? If it was between Dale and Lisa, it has to be Dale to get this reaction.

I just watched the last minute of it. I'm so pissed.

All I can say, again, is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said before: Restaurant Wars: Where good chefs go home.

Edit: Dale.

Since you ask, yes, it was Dale.

It should be constipated girl booted out the door as she fucked up royally. What's worse, a miss on an original dish or fucking up something you've cooked before, and don't give me any horseplocky about "unusual rice", give me a break.

#41 May 21st, 8:07pm

I hope that Richard wins. So far, he has shown the most class and integrity.

#42 May 21st, 8:11pm

I have a feeling it's going to be Antonia.

#43 May 21st, 8:12pm

Think it's time for a female winner? Could be. I can live with her winning.

#44 May 21st, 8:13pm
Seriously Wrong

Think it's time for a female winner?

Only if she truly earns the title. She and Richard are probably the strongest choices since both are able to get people to work as a team with them, and they are solid chefs.

I'm going to bed, have to start getting up early again, night.;)

#45 May 21st, 8:19pm
Flame Rising

I think Richard's the only one who has what it takes to excel in the final challenge where they have to supply an entire multi-course meal of superb dishes. He seems to have that cutting edge above the rest in his cooking. But the question is, can he make it to the final?

But I would like to see either him, Antonia, or Stephanie win.

If Constipated Bitch doesn't go home soon, I'm going to be seriously pissed.

Edit: Night, SW. I'm headed to bed soon after a little visit to LotR.

But I would like to see either him, Antonia, or Stephanie win.

I could live with any one of those three, but I prefer Richard.

It looks like baby vomit with chips.

You're not talking to your parole officer.

I adore Anthony.

Wow! That was the most lopsided restaurant challenge ever.

Am vowing not to watch tonight's episode. If Colonel Constipated isn't sent home tonight, though, I refuse to watch the rest of the season.

Take that, Bravo! Because I am...Flame Rising!
