(Taking notes) - Thanks Costco, I'm going to try these out on him one by one, the mushroom sammies in particular sound like his flavor (I do have a George and am happy to use it).

LOL... Costco!! I'd say take any bits and pieces of any of the things I suggested and modify them to suit his flavor. The George Forman does grilled sammies surprisingly well, and I'll often use it when I want a melty cheesy thing (mushrooms and melty cheese is awfully darned yummy). Keep me posted, and if I think of any other "special" veggie sammies, I'll let you know.

Like your sandwich ideas Costacat. We live where the tomatoes grow year-round too; like growing the heirlooms. Sourdough rolls, with tomato, a little olive oil, a tiny pinch of sea salt sprinkled all over--my favorite summer breakfast!

Any comments on who won Top Chef Masters? I love the recipes, but I came in here to hear comments about the show. I had to watch Top Chef Masters as a second airing becasue the Stanley Cup Finals weren't over yet. I expected posts about the finally. Go Blackhawks, from a fan.

I would have been happy with any of the finalists as the winner, even more so after I saw their work this evening--every meal seemed like a winner. But I was really happy to see Marcus win it; having met him, even briefly, over a couple of days, I thought he was a warm and personable individual, although I understand that many who know him just through the show and its editing thought otherwise. And I like his charity choice.

I've thought Marcus has had a giant ego since the first time I saw him on TV, a few years ago. And not as part of Top Chef Masters.

I was rooting for Susar because his is the food I most want to taste. But I'm also very interested in trying the African fusion that Marcus is doing. I bet anything Rick makes is great. I'm always looking for someplace to go for a short weekend. I'm thisclose to getting the husband to fly to Toronto for a weekend primarily to eat at Susra's place, if not him then I'll wrangle my daughter. I enjoyed this season very much.

I was rooting for Rick or Susar, and based on the comments by the judges was surprised that Marcus won. I didn't think this meal was the best (based on the judges comments).

What Dipo said! All of it!! All season long , I've consistently said that nothing Marcus has cooked has looked or sounded in the least bit appealing to me. I have less than no desire to taste his food. And how could any judge give him 5 stars when they all had problems with his last dish? They even said it's not a taste or texture they like. But because it's authentic they should score it higher? Um WHY? As always I drooled over most of what Rick made and some of what Susur did. I would have been happy with either winning, esp Rick. I am STUNNED neither did, as I think they were clearly the 2 top Chefs! Personally I was more interested honestly by the food chat here than show discussion, as this ended with a whimper not a bang IMHO. LOL Reader, I wouldn't be at all surprised if I end up preferring Helmanns to homemade mayo as I just love that stuff! I do plan to try the homemade at some point to see. And no wonder I can't stand Miracle Whip. I despise vinegar (can't even stand the smell), and I like my sweets for dessert LOLOL. BTW I'm humming "Bring out the Helmann's and bring out the BEST" in my head over and over since typing it--and I can't even remember the last time I actually heard that lolol
