who - did you notice,not only did he double dip with a spoon - but one time he dipped his hands into the food and tasted it - TWICE!!! (it was a green combo of something in a metal bowl! that's when I lost it - that happened before he doubled dipped and was noticed by the judges - I thought, but its ok if he does it with his fingers???

Dang - the gal judge is just being mean to Diane (yogurt sauce, inexperience w/lobster is "not forgivable"). Can I just smack her now?

The judges on this show are extremely harsh. They will be judging a dish and start with alot of compliments but then start dissing the same dish. I guess they do that so we will wonder who is going home.

I think they have to find something wrong with every dish to keep the viewers guessing otherwise, it would be too easy. I do like the show. Guess we won't be seeing any new episodes for a bit. Seems all the chef's some from NY area. Wish we could see more from other parts of the country.

Wow - what an obnoxious jerk! The second place guy acted like a real (as my kids would say) "tool." He needs to get over himself, listen to judges and try to improve - not just prove how right he is and how wrong everyone else is.

Can you tell he rubbed me the wrong way? LOL

I totally agree Teachmichigan. I so wanted Joe to win and was so worried because he did not get the banana cake on the plate but he did get all the required elements on the plate plus he was so creative. I hope this show brings attention to his restaurant. I love this show!

I'm glad the guy with a new restaurant won the 10k. Although I felt a bit uncomfortable...he seemed so needy for the money. I hope the winnings helps him continue with his place.

They're the only ones I see on the tivo - do they have a website you can check? I know Food TV does not show entire shows (just clips) but I don't know if they have a "tv schedule" page or not.

This is my 13 yr old daughters favorite show. She wants to go to pastry school and culinary school. We watch it together and I have learned a few things just watching it.

Yuck!!! This show has contestants double dipping their utensils and working with bloody cuts... Makes me scared to go to a restaurant.

Peeper...it's best we don't know what goes on behind the scenes of even high end restaurants. But usually in well run restaurants they aren't as rushed.

The new issue of Reader's Digest has an interesting - and slightly scary - article called "50 Secrets Your Waiter Won't Tell You."

Did anyone see the holiday version of Chopped tonight? The one chef (Jason) acted like such an arrogant, obnoxious jerk! Loved the two at the end, though - and didn't care which of them won. If you go to the WD50 site and choose the "people" tab, you can read a little bit about the winner (Eric??? Sorry- blanking on his name). :-)

Jason did act like a major tool last night. Can I just say that bacon is all fine and dandy but it can be so over powering and if the object of the show is to use the mystery ingredients and make them shine why go the major bacon route?

Am I right in thinking Eric? didn't clean out the blender because of time? If I was making a nice sauce I certainly wouldn't want even a bit of someone else's sauce mixed in with mine unless I had no choice.

And the I don't think I'll have a beer with you was spot on-LOL.

I figured the same thing - time w/the sauce, and since the judges said they didn't taste alike, I can't argue. I didn't blame Jason for bringing it up the first time, but the SECOND time (after the chopped announcement of the girl) -Give it a rest! He probably thought he was trying to "save" the girl, but ticking off the judges (or even annoying them) is NOT smart game play!

Liked Eric's "probably not" response to the beer thing, too. Also liked the other finalist backing up Eric's sentiment when they were in the waiting room (I think he said he wasn't going out for beer with any of them - they were here to play a game, or something like that).

I heard him say he would not go for a beer with any of them....and to take the sting out of it, said.....he didn't drink beer. LOL I liked that response.

That's what it was, exactly! Thanks, Auntie. I just remember thinking that he put Jason in his place but did it diplomatically. He and Eric were both "nice" guys in the last round - much more what I enjoy watching that the rounds with Jason's ego bouncing around.

It's not Eric -- it's Jon. Jon Bignelli. I was pulling for him because he's cooked so many dinners for me (I love going to WD-50 -- esp with people visiting NYC) and he let me take a picture one night (well, Wylie Dufresne let me come back in the kitchen and take a few). You can see most of the dishes from that night here:

and a picture of Jon here:

BTW -- he was promoted to Chef de Cuisine back in June, so this episode was probably taped sometime before that.
