Kelly Choi really made me miss Padma -- but I loved the rest of the show

Bitbitsmom, you are right about Kelly Choi--but although "forgetable" (I had forgotten all about her!), she is at least not offensive. And the show is so rich with other elements, that it left me wanting more.

Next week we get to see some of the contestants from the past, who are evidently on one of the judging panels. It was shown so quickly, only person I remember is Betty right now.

Padma will still be hosting Top Chef Season 6 (Las Vegas)...I believe it is filming now.

I'll be rooting for Rick Bayless. I ate at his restaurant in Chicago a couple of years ago, and the food was amazing.

I'm going to be driving my son's car down to Texas at the end of this month. He's coming home from Afghanistan!!!!

I'm going to stop in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I'm going to eat at Tim Love's restaurant! If I need reservations, I'm going to ask for a waiver! LOL! Like that will happen. You never know though. It could happen!

Well, I just went to the Lonesome Dove Bistro website, and I guess I won't be eating there! They are closed from June 28th through July 6th. That's when I'll be down there! Harrumph! Oh well, I'll have to find another amazing place to eat while I'm down there. Maybe I'll go get some puffy tacos from the Bobby Flay Throwdown episode.

<<---- has been wanting puffy tacos ever since she saw them on Bobby Flay's Throwdown!!!

But Gemma, was that throwdown in Dallas? For some reason, I thought the puffy tacos lady was in San Antonio.

Finally managed to catch a repeat of this show, I missed it the first night it was on. I really, really liked it. I thought all the chefs were really good sports, and that made me happy. I LOVED Hubert Keller and his shower mac and cheese lol. I know another poster said they couldn't stand chef Keller, but he seemed quite gracious and likable to me on this show. I thought it was hilarious that a microwave could get the best of some of these guys.

Looking forward to next week's episode, but I do miss Tom and Padma!

Has Chef Keller been on other shows, just wondering??? He was really new to me, and I enjoyed him tremendously.

Did the shower pasta remind anyone of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer sets up a complete kitchen in his shower, with garbage disposal installed in the drain? I may be wrong, but I thought one of the judges rather winced (and he said some initials I didn't understand) when he heard that the pasta had been washed in the shower. Much like the cast on Seinfeld reacted when they found their salad had been washed and prepped in a shower stall.

The judge said "TMI" which is "too much information". I didn't see that Seinfeld, but it sure sounds like Kramer lolol.

Yeah, when I watched that episode I kept thinking to myself that I really need to go visit some friends in San Antonio so I can eat puffy tacos.

Loved this episode but knew as soon as Hubert won the quickfire unless he really screwed up he would take it. I thought the same about the stew room but these are Chefs who have made it and who they may want to use as judges later so can understand why they would perk them.

Beth, The Siendeld episode was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that.

The only difference was Kramer was showering at the same exact time as he was cleaning the salad. lol!

Loved this except for the host that seemed to be screaming (very annoying)

I thought they all seemed like good sports but with a good competitive nature

Totally thought of Kramer with the shower thing, I loved how proud the chef was of himself for that

Going to be a fun season while waiting for the "real deal"

Are they serving the cast or crew from Lost tonight??

I will be so pissed if they are serving crewmembers like the gapher or the boom operator.

Earworms are my specialty! :-)

What fun challenges they had tonight! My favorite part - making the cookies while they waited for the judges table.

WHAT was that monster flower/tumor growing behind whats-her-name's ear??? (Sorry - can't remember the hostess's name - the flower, THAT I remember!)

Another excellent show. Really enjoy meeting the master chefs and learning about their history (as wanna-be athletes, musicians, artists) and their specialties. The show goes so quickly, really need to watch it twice to pick up all the nuances and recipes. Also proves that you don't have to have contestants arguing with each other to have a good show.

Oh, for those who wonder, the Lost guests were creators/writers. Winner tonight was Suzanne Tracht. Graham and Wylie were really funny.
Elizabeth Falkner baked cookies while they were waiting for the results.

AAARRGHHH... I fell asleep on the couch last night right before 9:00 last night and didn't wake up until after the show was over. Thank goodness I recorded it so I can watch it tonight.

I really enjoyed the banter between Wylie and Graham. I like Wylie a lot. It cracked me up how much he had his words bleeped out.

The challenges were fun. I'm always amazed at what they can create in so little time, especially the vending machine challenge.

Exactly, Smokey, re vending machine challenge. I don't tape, but if I did, would want to put it on "slow motion" or some such, to figure out more exactly how they used the vending machine ingredients to come up with their delicious meals. I gather they did have access to the top chef "pantry", which included some things like onions.

The 2nd challenge was fun, too, in that they DIDN'T have the use of top chef pantry, so had to improvise how to come up with garlic for flavor.

I noticed that Wylie used both hands to push his hair behind his ears and then touched the back of his hair and then just continued on using his hands directly on the food. That just grossed me out!!!!!!
