Sea, I think it's just that they are unusual to the more "common" cook. And most any restaurant that uses heirlooms will state so on their menu. So maybe it's just whatever he/she (dunno who it is) is used to?

Finally watching the show. lol I am not invested too much yet and some of the contestants just kind of irritate me. Is Hung the guy that is Marcel's friend? Haven't picked anyone yet to root for. We shall see.

thank you for the table with the pics. Gosh I love my TVCH! tear...

Sara M reminds me of Tessa from the Bachelor!

and does Casey ever smile? I guess she finally does next week from the previews...but besides those, she is always so serious.

You're welcome!

She does look a bit like Tessa.

WOOHOO! The banner looks fabulous! Thanks so much.

Yup -- Hung is Marcel's friend/coworker or some connection.

Has Sara M said a WORD yet that we've seen?? Same w/Casey -- can't remember her talking or being interviewed at all yet. Seems like the guys are getting more air time than the gals.

Oh, you're right, Costa, it is Ponds! I knew it was some some kind of facial product!

Thanks for the pics above! Now I can see who people are talking about when I can't remember who they are! :-)

It's nice having the pics up top. It reminds me, though, how invisible the women have seemed on the show so far, except for one or two. I was sorry to see Sandee go, this week. I was hoping she'd go further.

This is my first year watching Top Chef. I don't know how I missed it before. It makes Hells Kitchen look like championship wrestling.

I watched the catch up marithon yesterday & I agree that most of the women are soooo under the radar. Micah & Sara N. & the last cut, Sandi are really the only women who've gotten any air time. What about those other 4? Maybe the men just make for better TV. I would be surprised if Hung & Tre aren't 2 of the final 3.

If Hung really is Marcel's associate/friend, it doesn't surprise me. Their mutual arrogance just turns me off.

I like CJ's personality! Or at least the way he is edited so far.

The editors have done a poor job with Casey. So far she comes across as a <100>, just trying to ride the coattails of others or fade into the background of mediocrity.

Actually, most of the women seem to be overshadowed by the men, or the editing comes across that way.

DH is asking about the host chick. Does anyone know her story or a link to her bio?

Hung looked like he could not believe how he was treated in the quickfire challenge with the seafood. Yeah, just not my fav.

This episode had the biggest factual error I have ever seen on Top Chef, when they complained about the cholesterol in lobster.

While it is true that lobster has a lot of cholesterol, it is FISH cholesterol, which cannot be biochemically used by MAMMALS. So no matter how much cholesterol shrimp, lobster, etc. has, it is going to do NOTHING to raise the cholesterol level of a human being.

They owe Brian an apology.

Is that so? Because shrimp is on my low usage list for cholesterol, AND it is often cited at the Heart Healthy Cooking school as a source of HIGH cholesterol! I certainly hope you are right because I have a guilt-laden pound of frozen shrimp sitting in my freezer right now!

Personally, I'd take the regular sloppy joe and tater tots and to heck with the cholesterol, yum! That sauce on Sara's plate (chicken ala king) looked like barf.

Tnt, a lot of people do not know that about the fish cholesterol, but I am a diabetic and go to one of the top diet/nutrition doctors in the country, Dr. Arthur Frank, and that is how he advised me. You can find articles on the internet how they have done experiments and "shockingly" a diet high in shrimp has not been shown to raise cholesterol.

Sorry, Beth! She was actually pretty relieved to go though. She wanted to be with her daughter and wasn't looking forward to more cutthroat challenges. Come over to the Go Howie club, k?
