Teach, I was bummed too. Us Michiganders have to support each other. John has to be better than what we saw or he wouldn't have been a James Beard Nom. in 2009. Hair aside.

Colicchio said he was better than what we saw (paraphrased).

John verbalized Detroit MI, but one of the banners, talk bubbles, said Plymouth, MI. The Lark.

I want to find that restaurant and go there when he is cooking. If you are in for the experinence try my member page. Before BB of course.

All you TIVO folks out there! Will someone watch for the name of the Nashville guy's restaurant? He said it was a "mom and pop" place, and I would surely like to try it!

Sounded like they had plenty of 'clunkers' for the bottom. I am not a fan of Rastafarian hair on anyone, let alone a chef, I always think 'What is IN there?' and I don't understand how it can be kept clean. If I were a chef, I would shave my head because hair in food really creeps me out. Seriously. Remember that contestant who kept sweating into the food? Or was that Hell's Kitchen?

Yeah, I hated to say it, but I thought the same thing about that guy's hair. I wouldn't have wanted him cooking my food without a hair net or something.

I don't know how many of you in here remember Woodpecker (mostly from the BB threads). His family owns The Lark.

I didn't realize how much I missed Top Chef until I watched it last night, I enjoyed it. Not sure who I am rooting for yet!

Thanks for the link to The Lark Lexie. It could take me a while to save enought to be able to visit there. I expected the food to be pricey, but I'm not sure I have the right clothes to be let in the door, lol.

Thanks, Owl! There is a feature article on him in this week's Metro Mix. I will try to remember to send it to you since I don't think you have access to that publication there -

Mods can we get a picture heading like usual, so we know who we are talking about?

Finally watched the first episode. So it seems as if all the chefs can cook this time, and that's a good thing. Many of them seem to already be successful.

But jeez, are there some egos? I can imagine a couple of the men butting heads in the not too distant future.

Not surprised the hair guy went home. If you're doing maple, then you darned well better TASTE the maple!

Mummy - I'm not on that side of the state, but you'll definitely have to report back to us if you eat at The Lark. I was rather surprised to see his food since he was nominated - but then again - I don't know the "nomination" process, so maybe it isn't quite as prestigious as it sounds (and I don't care enough to look it up! LOL).

I hope Angelo gets over himself because his food seems sophisticated and delicious - but right now I'm rooting for Kenny. He appears to have the "chops" too, but isn't as obnoxious about it.

I think we'll see the real Angelo the first time he doesn't win a challenge.

A friend, the food critic for the local newspaper, has eaten at two of Arnold's three restaurants and reviewed one of them (Suzy's) for the paper. She said that the food was very original and tasty -

The site of their meeting & first quickfire is the Newseum observation deck. I was there last fall. Wonderful backdrop of the capital and then Pennsylvania avenue. The roof behind the judges (our left, their right) is the Canadian embassy. But inside the Newseum is most interesting. There are a few pictures in my flickr under the Washington DC folder (sorry, can't link to it from work computer).

Kenny is amazingly fast!!! I figured John was a goner the second he admitted his puff pastry was store bought. That's NOT the first recipe to set in front of the judges ~ a half store bought dessert with few elements and then be so skimpy with the maple syrup, too. Who was the guy who deep fried the beef and made it look like chicken nuggets? He's got one foot through the Exit Door for that!

The fried beef is a guy from Ohio, and he reminded me of the Argentinian cook who also fried his beef and got the boot. Do these chefs not have time to watch previous seasons? Fried with Beef has NEVER gotten good reviews from the judges.

Great first challenge so far, leave your egos at the door. How appropriate for this bunch
