I'm still doing miserably overall though. <BR/><BR/>Again, all three at the bottom should have been sent home. How does Nikki avoid the ax every week? I guess only because every week there seems to be a slightly more incompetent chef. Ryan was a tool, so no love lost with him leaving. Spike has to go!! <BR/><BR/>Side note, my buddy came into town for that Bears game and I got the flu and couldn't go!! Not fond memories, believe me.Lakeview Coffee Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478205537070255505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485172516211125601.post-77820259059460442012008-04-18T10:54:00.000-05:002008-04-18T10:54:00.000-05:00Spike is a total douchebag.

Oh wait, no, he hasn't, because he's a self-proclaimed metrosexual. What a loser.<BR/><BR/>I like Mark although I agree that he is a bit of a disaster. I think it's just that I'm obsessed with his NZ accent (because I'm obsessed with Flight of the Conchords). Although I am disgusted by his gross move of putting a spoon he licked back into the pot, particularly because I've eaten at the restaurant at which he's the sous chef! <BR/><BR/>Oh, also, I have no idea how Nikki is even on that show - she can't cook! Her restaurant (24 Prince) kinda sucks.roopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02741779290923045343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485172516211125601.post-9402552125886566862008-04-17T09:46:00.000-05:002008-04-17T09:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for the plug!

That name again is www.thesmokingkitchen.com.<BR/><BR/>My birthday's coming up in a dozen days and I've been trying to figure out where I'll have dinner to celebrate. Originally I tried to get into Schwa (www.schwarestaurant.com). The chefs are the only employees, which is cool because it means you can talk about the dish with the person who made it when he brings it out to you. Unfortunately, it also means their voicemail box is always full and they don't respond to your message when you can get through.<BR/><BR/>Point is, I was thinking of going to Avec instead, though I wonder if I'll be able to get in after the Top Chef publicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485172516211125601.post-65842044223536032312008-04-17T08:31:00.000-05:002008-04-17T08:31:00.000-05:00xani- this is bravo, it will be re-run.

Most likely in a marathon session for several days leading up to the finale. <BR/><BR/>So excited to see Blackbird and Avec getting the TC nod this week. Blackbird has been nonstop hot since it opened years ago. Bourdain called it a "chef's restaurant". I have been afraid to take my dad there because of the communal seating and the room is supposed to be loud. But we HAVE been to Avec, and although none of us really cared for the room the food was AMAZING and truly memorable. <BR/><BR/>It was nice to see Stephanie get a little what what from Tom this episode. Hello? Girlfriend has been in the top 3 for almost every single elimination challenge!<BR/><BR/>Thank god Ryan got the boot. Next to go should be Spike and Nikki I say.stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743716011273416940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485172516211125601.post-43772027812009833832008-04-17T08:20:00.000-05:002008-04-17T08:20:00.000-05:00um, I scored ZERO points last night. ZERO! And n...um, I scored ZERO points last night. ZERO! And not b/c I got plus some points and minus others... just zilch. WTF? and WTF with not having Bravo in my hotel?! Turn down service WITH cookies but terrible TV. Unacceptable. I hope I can see the episode another time. Do you think they'll ever re-run it?? ;) Nice recap, EP.Xanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173303638971447673noreply@blogger.com
