Top Chef Seattle
Anyone watch the new Top Chef? What did you think?
It was interesting see the different tests the judges came up with but weirdly reminiscent of how the finalist for Food Network Star were chosen last year.

I did not like Tom's challenge. To me, that was more reminiscent of other cooking shows. They are not trying to be Tom's line cook or sous-chef. They want to be Top Chef based on their own abilities and ideas. Yes, you need to ensure contestants can handle the basics... but I wonder how people who lack such skills even make it into contention. Just on personality alone?
Emril's soup, Wolfgang's omelet, and Hugh's "beautiful salad" were all much better in my opinion. This is another way to test basic skill but allowing the contestants to prove themselves through a finished product instead.
By the way, I think Wolfgang is a hoot and I'm glad he's been brought on as a judge.

So, returning Cheftestants. Boo. Why can't they just leave it alone. I didn't like Stefan at all, and don't even remember the other two.

Hmm
I haven't started watching off the dvr yet, actually I'm, still trying to finish up Top Chef Masters from this summer ha ha (which I have really been enjoying!) I like it so much when they play for charity!

Hmm. I'm not following. Did I miss something? Are there some competitors from previous seasons? Perhaps I'm misreading your comments.

They have been running ads of 3 past losers coming back to join the group - Stephan, Josie and can'r remember who the third one is.
I don't like this twist at all, just wonder if maybe they might make them "earn" their way back on.

I missed those ads so I hadn't heard they were coming back. I watched last night. It didn't really bother me as much as make think "why". I don't get the point and think it takes away from us getting to know the new chefs.

It didn't bother me quite as much as I thought it would either. It seems random though. I didn't like the "last chance kitchen" from last season either. One thing I think I missed though-are they going to continue to cook in these "teams?" In the previews for next week it looked like they still had the different colored aprons on.

I really don't like the idea of having Stephan back. He annoyed the you know what out of me. Just didn't like him one bit!
This is still my favorite show though. I have a huge crush on Tom. I think he's hilarious!

I was sorry to see Kuniko go. She seemed to have a lot of potential and was interesting, IMO. Why couldn't it have been Carla who packed her knives?! Don't know how much more of her and her hair-in-the-eyes I can stand.

Top Chef is so much fun although often I tink they keep chefs because of the drama they bring as much as their cooking ability. Jose can go home anytime now, she is simply annoying.

How is Josie still around?! Really don't like her!!

Can't stand Josie!
Like Micah and I think Brooke has potential!
I was very glad to see that Lizzie beat out John. I was getting sick of seeing him standing there with his glasses on his forehead and a smirk!

Oh yeah, me too Linda, although I didn't find him horrible, horrible like some others in the past. He seems a bit, um, broken? I'm not sure what the exact word is I'm looking for.
Funny thing, I have no interest in LCK. None. I go peek and see who is still in, but that's it.

I watch on occasion. For instance when Carla went there earlier in the season I had to watch just to give myself the peace of mind that there was no way she was coming back.
