I don't know why it didn't post as a link. It has commas in it so I can't "newurl" it.

Fabio was on some show on the TV Guide Channel last night. He said something about two books in the works and a TV show in the future. I think he'll do just fine. :-)

OK Hermi, here you go... Sounds like he's not really gonna cook for Pitt-Jolie. It was just an interview question.


Top Chef's Hosea Plans A Meal for the Jolie-Pitts

The season 5 champ offers up a kid-friendly menu -- and some spicy smack talk for rival Stefan



Hey, this is Hosea Rosenburg, winner of Top Chef season 5 and you're watching People.com... (music)

(Clip from show) Tom: Hosea, you put together a nice meal and have been very steady across the board.
Padma: Congratulations, Hosea, you are top chef!

Hosea: I mean, I haven't even had a chance to even gauge how different my life is yet because it's been a whirlwind. I watched the show, went to a huge party afterwards, really didn't sleep, got on a plane to New York and it's been nothing but interviews since I got back. So I haven't even really had a chance to adjust to my life or, or realize what it is yet but so far so good. I'm really happy.

What would you cook for the Jolie-Pitt family?

Hosea: You know, if they came in with all those kids I'd do something family style, you know, I'd do like a paella or some sort of jambalaya or something where they could all just get into it and get dirty. I mean, I love kids, I love cooking for kids, but you can't do anything pretty and sexy and nice for a kid because it's just gonna get spilled everywhere.

First date don'ts?

Hosea: Number one, keep it simple, because if you spend too much time in the kitchen prepping you're not gonna spend any time with the person you are trying to impress. Number two, the food has to be easy to eat. No pasta, no spaghetti. You don't want anything where they are slurping or, you know, making a mess on their face.

What is your perfect last meal?

Hosea: Last meal? BLT. Perfect, delicious, freshly baked bread, a big swath of mayonnaise on there, lettuce right out of the garden, a big fat slice of ripe tomato, and the best damn bacon you've ever had. Like four or five thick slices of bacon still like dripping hot grease off the corners of it. Cut into it... that's the last thing I'll ever need to eat.

Describe the perfect knife.

Hosea: A perfect knife is like the perfect person. It's balanced, it's sharp, it's sexy to look at. You want to hold it. You want to use it, you want to be with it all the time. And it makes you look better.

Any last words for Stefan?

(clip from show) Hosea: Stefan, that guy's my nemesis here. And I know that he's gonna give me a helluva competition. Stefan: How do like that, Hosea? In your face.

Hosea: I don't need to rub it in his face cause I got the check. I mean, he proved himself to be the most competent contender in the whole group. I did what I had to do to beat the guy.

Thanks, Costacat! I wasn't expecting a word for word transcription, just a summary. You sure went above and beyond and I really appreciate it!

Out of the three, I think Hosea "needed" the win the most. I'm happy for him.

I agree with you Hermi that Hosea probably needed the win the most. I have no doubt that the phone at Carla's catering service is ringing off the hook and she is probably booked up for at least six months!!!

Well, duh, Hermi. You said "transcribe" and transcribe I did! :-)

Hosea was the only one of the F3 without his own (catering) business. But I do think he deserved the win based on his final meal. Toby and his whining about dessert notwithstanding! :-)

Tonight was fun!!

I wish Carla had won 'fan favorite' but I'm okay with Fabio winning.

Loved the Leah & Jamie 'drunk at panel' bit. Hilarious!!!

And the Fabio/Stefan love ... so funny!!

Hosea and Leah do seem to have chemistry. And now that they're both single, who knows ...

And who didn't know Stefan was a horn-dog? That's one of the things that makes him adorable!

I agree this year there seemed to be a nicer group of people. More to like.

I just knew Carla was going to win fan fav, but I am not unhappy with that cute and oh so sexy Fabio.

very fun reunion. I liked most of the cheftestants, so I enjoyed seeing them again. I don't agree, though, that Hosea and Leah will get together. I thought they were being nice when they blamed them living in different cities for them not getting together. I thought it should have been left at that, but Padma kept pushing it. Leah point blank said that she wasn't leaving NY, and Hosea was very hesitant to comment when he was repeatedly asked by Padma AND Tom if he would move to NY.

Team Europe is so entertaining. Looks like they have a solid friendship. Many of them do, though. This was a good group, and I'll miss seeing them every week.

I knew fan fave would be either Carla or Fabio, and I was fine with Fabio winning (he's just too adorable!).

The bit with Jamie and Leah drunk at judge's table was hilarious! We so didn't see any of that on the show!

I'm still not on the Stefan love bandwagon and I do NOT think he's adorable. I do think he's a good chef, though. I've never disputed that.

The reunion show was a lot of fun. This was a good season, with everyone getting along and seeming to really like each other. It seemed as if these peeps had a lot of fun and it showed. It made the show that much more enjoyable, too.

I posted several weeks back that I was getting the impression that Stefan was not the big weenie he was being portrayed (or edited, so to speak) on the show. Last night's reunion show reaffirmed my opinion. It seemed like everyone really liked Stefan and no one had anything bad to say about him.

I agree, Lexie. My opinion of him (on a personal level) started to change when TC showed a little of his human side away from the cooking. I still think his attitude in the kitchen was a little too cocky (No pun intended!).

I was happy Fabio won FF. He and Carla each got a good prize (She got the car and the SB tix.), which are not as good as TC, but still. . . .

Finally, I did really like this group because they seemed genuinely nice.

Vegaschris I agree he most likely had a "Steven moment" I remember the first season Steven was all high and mighty in the kitchen and a bit cruel at times, but he took a hit and became a bit humbled for the reunion, which was nice to see. Stefan is an amazing chef, but he did need to lighten up a bit on the cockiness.

I meant to say this before, but when I rewatched the football challange I spent time watching the time. They had a clock on the wall and Fabio was the final chef. The time read about 5:15.

Later I saw Tom's wristwatch when they were all at JT and it read 9:40.

When the final 3 guys were at JT, Tom's watch read 10:35 so they do spend a lot of time in the stew room.
Maybe even more when they have a nicer meal.

Csnog, I read several seasons ago that JT can last as long as six hours to make a decision as to who is the winner and who is going home (which would explain how Leah and Jamie had enough time to get drunk before JT - the week they knew they were in the top).

TC is going to be challenged to find such an interesting group of chefs to compete again!
