Would You Go to a Chain Restaurant on a First Date?

"I've never even thought of this before, this dilemma sounds pretentious." I really wish some people would stop throwing around the word pretentious so much nowadays, if you are going to use it, make sure the context is correct. Is it really pretentious to dislike chain restaurants? Hell I think the best thing about a first date is going to new place. It is exciting and can make for some great conversation if you are the socially awkward type like myself.

'Top Chef Masters,' Ep. 5: Junk Food, a Big Dinner, a New Way of Looking at Panna Cotta

While the concept of the show sounded great, the execution and realisation just is not there. The show winds up feeling like a high end version of the knock off show Chopped. I think this is maibnly due to the fact that, with any reality show, we do not have a chance to connect with any contestants over the course of a series. It is a shame too, because of the talent on hand each week. As far as Rayner replacing Young, I am definitely for it. It is not that I think Toby is a poor judge, it is just that his scalding one line criticisms feel so forced, almost as if he had been planning the whole day about what witty line he was going to snap as a sound bite, but most of the time they fall flat anyway. I just want the Top Chef we love to come back.
