You can have his body; it is his brain I want to pick!

Better that than his nose, I suppose. I'll be looking forward to Ted's new show - sounds like one my DS will enjoy, too.

I want both his body and brains and willing to throw down over him ;) I'm a pretty laid back chick but I'm willing to fight for MY Alton. Much happiness to the new Daddy!

She seems pretty down to earth. Hope she stays that way. I may actually try to venture out to her restaurant when it finally opens. That's if I can afford it! LOL I like Nick D. He's a huge Top Chef fan. I usually listen to him during the weekend when I'm home. He talks about a lot of pop culture stuff, which I enjoy. (They run that PSA a lot. Yes, it is rather "soothing" to listen to, isn't it? )

I knew she was going be on there when listening to his show Friday night. But I didn't get to hear it last night, as I went out. I'm hoping it will be up in the audio archives later.

Am I right or wrong? In the previews, they definitely showed a shot of Dale saying "I'm not going to talk about that"--did we see that IN the show tonight? If so, somehow I missed it.

I went to the Craft website, and after reading the bios, menus, etc. I want to go to NY to EAT! LOL I actually went to Amazon and ordered Chef Tom's book "Think Like a Chef" for my son. He's 13 and has seriously been considering culinary school for the past year. He's starting to cook more (relying on recipes at this point) and I think he'll love this book as a Christmas gift. The reviews rave about how well the book helps people learn techniques and creativity -- it's NOT a recipe book (although there are some as examples). Chef Tom and Tim Gunn -- those are the two guys I'd love to meet on the streets of New York!

I checked out the Craft website from above- I must be a cheap person cuz there is no way I'd spend 10 bucks on some fries LOL. But you got to love a place that has a cheese menu. yum! I wasn't surprised that Steph took fan favorite too. She seems like a well rounded person even with the potty mouth! LOL

i missed the show, did they make a big deal out of Richard 'choking'?? That really ticked me off that so much focus was on that on the judges blog. It seemed to imply that Stephanie really wouldn't have won on her own merit.

They did talk to him about it. The thing that surprised the judges most was that he told THEM that he choked. They all agreed that it was mostly his honesty, and he said (via satellite since he was awaiting the imminent birth of his daughter) that he just overthought things. I'm not surprised Steph won fan fave. She was one of my faves. She was good, she didn't have a huge ego, she was nice to pretty much everyone. Very calm and very knowledgable. I'm still not liking Lisa. She never did own up to her crossed arm/scowl during judges table. Kinda just blew it off. And claimed she does take criticism well outside of the Top Chef show. Some cute outtakes and all, but not much that we didn't already know or see. Mostly extended scenes from what we'd seen before.

you're welcome! not that this has anything to do with Top chef except for being in chicago, 2 Chicago restaurants linked to salmonella Toll from tainted tomatoes now at 383, officials say By MIKE HUGHLETT Chicago Tribune CHICAGO — Federal regulators are a step closer to solving a widespread outbreak of salmonella after two Adobo Grill restaurants in Chicago were identified as the source of nine cases of the illness that has sickened at least 383 people in 30 states. The Chicago Department of Public Health on Wednesday identified the Adobo Grill outlets in Wicker Park and Old Town as the source of a cluster of nine salmonella cases that were disclosed Friday. Coincidentally, David Acheson, a top U.S. Food and Drug Administration official, has had his agency focusing on a cluster of nine cases that originated at two restaurants within the same chain and in a similar location. On Wednesday, Acheson declined to comment on whether the nine cases here are the same ones the FDA is targeting. Still, in an interview with the Chicago Tribune this week, he noted, "We have talked about only one cluster, and to date we are aware of one cluster only." With such a cluster, the FDA hopes to track tainted tomatoes through the supply chain to the source of the salmonella bug. While the FDA has said either Mexico or Florida is the most likely origin of the outbreak, it doesn't know where it started. Federal health officials Wednesday announced an updated outbreak toll of 383, after learning of 106 more cases. Paul LoDuca, Adobo Grill's owner, said the restaurant was the "unknowing victim" of contaminated tomatoes. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/5845542.html
