Title: Top Chef Masters.
Post by: Omar on June 11, 2009, 07:51:35 AM: Let's do this.

Fun trivia from last night: that hardass redhead was just cast in Trent L. Strauss's Junior Girl Scout Serial Killer: Samoan Nightmare.

It's a Top Chef/He-Man crossover show on Adult Swim. Colicchio was great as Ram-Man last night.

I was surprised to learn that Wylie Dufresne is such a panicky, emotional fellow in the kitchen.

Post by: Sarah on June 18, 2009, 05:42:04 PM: I guess they think the contestants are so accomplished that without those stupid restrictions there'd be no competition, since everything would just be wonderful.

I'm guessing that the final episode will just be straight cooking. I like that it cuts out all the boring drama they sometimes try to work into some episodes.

After watching the first episode I didn't care much for any of the judges or Kelly Choi, although I'm not expecting any of them to be too critical since these are all respected professionals playing for charity so I'm sure they don't want anyone to look too bad.

Post by: Andy on June 18, 2009, 11:48:45 PM: yeah, these judges suck a bag of cocks also.

Post by: Sarah on June 19, 2009, 08:44:13 AM: The judges are uninteresting. Kelly Choi is a boob. The show stands or falls with the chefs.

So far, it reminds me most of the English show The Great British Menu.

Post by: Martin on April 10, 2010, 09:19:54 AM: Top Chef Masters! Season two! First episode aired the other day. Anyone see it?

I didn't care for: the host, the editing (not as sloppy as in the regular show, but sloppy enough to be really annoying), the judges (all of which are back from season one: the 100-year-old lady with the hats (indoors!) and the clapping teeth that warbles her speech and you kinda suspect will fall out of her skull at any moment; the guy from Saveur magazine who's almost a charicature of a bitchy critic with his clearly-fake, clearly-preplanned "spur-of-the-moment" oneliners (much like Toby Young in the reg show); and the English dude who should get a haircut, stat), most of the silly challenges the chefs are forced to take on
I did care for: the chefs.

So, nothing's changed, really. I do enjoy the show.

Post by: Sarah on April 10, 2010, 10:48:32 AM: I found Kelly Choi less objectionable this time around. I don't know whether I've mellowed or it's due to her new hairstyle.

I was glad that arrogant dreadlocked fellow lost and sort of glad the geezers won.
