Top Chef

Why do they ride Richard Blais' nuts on this show so much when his restaurants always get shit reviews IRL. It diminishes the credibility of the show when you put Blais up there with the David Changs and Thomas Kellers and legit michelin-starred people and play up his cred just because he was an all-stars alum. He's closed more restaurants than have lasted more than a season and has pissed off just about every investor that's been on the show.

How much would it suck to win a quickfire and the prize is they gave your prize to a charity.

Soygen · Dec 18, 2015

You gotta' act all happy about it too.

I don't like Richard Blais on GGG. He's my least favorite judge.

Intrinsic · Dec 19, 2015

Blais's burger restaurant was so shit I'd probably never even eat in his real place in Atlanta.

I have a tip for all future Top Chef contestants.

When you're doing the "make a dish based on a memory" challenge, think of a great dish first,thenmake up a bullshit unverifiable story to accompany it.

Binkles_sl · Jan 23, 2016

That and/or make the memory entertaining. e.g., "I was raped 10 year ago. The child was aborted. So, I made eggs in purgatory."

Phillip Frankland Lee has to be the most annoying fucking person on the show. How has he not been eliminated when they don't like anything he ever fucking makes.

Binkles_sl · Jan 23, 2016

I concur, at least for the annoying part. I thought I liked him on Chopped/whatever but, giving him more camera time, the ego/inability/unwillingness to accept criticism is suggestively pathological.

Adebisi · Jan 23, 2016

Phillip has such a punchable face.

I think that ugly Marjorie is going to sneak up wand start killing it. Having Per Se on your resume in insane.

Intrinsic · Jan 23, 2016

Are they having a hard time getting guests on or something? Voltaggio and what's her random ass that no one remembers, plus Blais every episode just makes me want to choke a person.

Phillip is the literal worst. Tom should have chewed his ass out when he started pulling his whine about the judges pallet and trying to cook what they want. What a goober.

Brand masturbation

I was surprised the chef-ed out food that looked tasty, but not fitting for the event, went home as opposed to the sausage that I could probably make at home.

Neph_sl · Jan 30, 2016

Kwame should've gone home for overlooking the shrimp. The rules weren't that clear, as the guy said they're 'elevating beefsteak' and it's a black tie thing. As far as I could tell, Chad's tasted fine, but was just too 'soign?'.

Also, in last chance kitchen, sucks that Chad lost to Jason, thought he'd win that too.

Adebisi · Jan 30, 2016

I can't believe no one did beef ribs or beef shortribs.

Make em sticky and gooey. Autowin.

I agree Kwame should've gone home. Producers must've gotten in the judges ear.

Lenas · Jan 30, 2016

^^ same... I was yelling at the TV the whole time, like, how does someone not make some pulled pork or ribs?! fuck you guys

spronk · Jan 31, 2016

The chefs got fucked over hard by the guy presenting the challenge to them. The very first sentence out of his mouth was "we've taken the event hosted by politicians and gangsters and elevated it for modern day, and people come in black tie". Then later said the three rules are no utensils, no plates, no napkins. They did not emphasize at all the fact that its supposed to be a caveman type of dining experience, so fuck them three ways for coming down on the chefs for failing to read between the lines.

Slaythe · Feb 2, 2016

Yeah, I too didn't blame them at all. Especially after the food porn photo shoot quickfire. I get the show runners intent after the fact, to do that quickfire then go the complete opposite with the challenge, but didn't really grasp that until people started eating.

I agree. It was simply not explained well.

the winners and losers went up as a team didnt they? I am pretty sure that is what saved Kwame. This show hasn't been afraid to eliminate a favorite early before as far as I remember. And sausage & tuna team was clearly the bottom of that challenge.

As for the parameters of the challenge, I am pretty sure they all knew what they were doing and cooking for, they just chose to go for elevated more than caveman and didn't realize how much it would fuck them. Which is odd, generally the chefs in recent seasons have seen this show enough to realize that theme is just as, if not more, important than the food for things like this (barring someone making something outright gross)
