Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 10

I was kind of shocked at the lack of protein on most of the dishes the chefs produced...just Eli's little dab of lentils, and a few garbanzo beans on Robin's plates (and not even all of them!) Over on Bravo's web site, Gail's blog says that the chefs were *encouraged* to use things like eggs, beans, grains, etc. and she was puzzled why most of them did not. It was as though the chefs were all so thrown by the challenge that they just had vegetable tunnel vision.

My husband and I had our first date at a tapas restaurant...and visiting Barcelona several years ago, I had the best patatas bravas - would love to go back!

Made with locally-raised pastured beef, not too lean. Topped with sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon and sharp cheddar. Sandwiched between a homemade sesame seed bun...so good!

This year we're trying out a bunch of different kinds of tomatoes -- my first time trying anything but cherry! Also, lots of different herbs, cabbage, chard, kale, beans, leeks, and hot peppers. Man, I can't wait!

Eli's comment about Star Wars shows what an imbecile he is. The only important thing she's ever done? Uh, jackass...ever hear of The Professional? Tool...

What I thought was ludicrous was the fact that the quickfire was judged based on the fact that Kevin happened to have the Sopranos (Italian food) and the fact that Paul Bartolotta himself cooks and enjoys Italian food. Just because that's his preference should not have swayed the way he judged this competition; that is not being a fair and impartial judge!

Ummmmm, when that chick made that comment about pebbles boyfriend being bam bam and being "big and strong" and "carrying her around by the hair" I melted like putty I am in love with her.

What drove me nuts was that they criticized a couple of people for not having any protein or heft to their dishes, when even Kevin's (which, by the way, looked absolutely delicious) didn't contain anything other than vegetables. No protein, no starch. I love vegetarian food, but these were all side dishes.

Were there additional constraints that got edited out or something? I feel confused and unsatisfied, like when I haven't eaten enough at lunch.

If Portman is that vehement in her beliefs, then why on Earth did she agree to go on Top Chef? It's often one big celebration of meat (the recent Pig and Pinot episode comes to mind), so I don't see how endorsing the show equates to her backing her principles. Regardless, I too was tremendously annoyed that Mike I. went home. I'm pretty sure that Robin is this season's Lisa, kept on just to create drama.

Not a big Mike Isabella fan but that he went home before Robin is insane. I am sure that Robin is a lovely person in real life but she is so far out of her element here that it's frustrating to watch.

I think one of Mike's biggest mistakes was to keep referring to his leeks as "protein". I totally understand what he was trying to do but he should have changed direction the minute he realized that his leeks were not working.

I cannot believe that only one chef used grains. .. polenta, farro, couscous, etc. would have been wonderful to see. I think they just had one sharp focus and when that changed, they all just lost it.

Really disappointed with what every one made. . .seemed like amateur hour. Except for Kevin. . except that his plate was brown on brown with dark green.

I can't tell if she's expressing a personal opinion or paraphrasing Foer. In any case, she should not have brought up rape.

But can we please not turn a book review by an actress into an excuse to bash vegetarians?

From Serious Eats

Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef Las Vegas,' Ep. 10

It's interesting that we're talking about this. Portman just wrote an essay for the Huffington Post in which she says this batshit crazy thing:

"I say that Foer's ethical charge against animal eating is brave because not only is it unpopular, it has also been characterized as unmanly, inconsiderate, and juvenile. But he reminds us that being a man, and a human, takes more thought than just 'This is tasty, and that's why I do it.' He posits that consideration, as promoted by Michael Pollan in The Omnivore's Dilemma, which has more to do with being polite to your tablemates than sticking to your own ideals, would be absurd if applied to any other belief (e.g., I don't believe in rape, but if it's what it takes to please my dinner hosts, then so be it)."

Until now I was getting very sick of hearing Anthony Bourdain's seemingly constant tirade against vegetarians, but basically equating meat eaters to rapists is ridiculous and I'll take Bourdain's shit talking any day.

Mike Isabella kind of grows on you. I mean he may be arrogant, pompous, and as good as a chef as he thinks he is but he has a sense of camaraderie with the other chefs. He seems like the type of guy, through all his faults, will still have your back at the end of the day, more so than Robyn...

Bravo and their mercy eliminations...

With my sister at a restraunt in a neighboring suburb. The waiter was wearing a wedding ring, overweight, bald, and missing teeth, but insisted on flirting relentlessly with us anyway. He actually said "I love to tapas". It was totally inappropriate but hysterical.

Sadly, my best tapas experience was from the view of my couch into the TV and the Travel Channel. Seems like it was Samantha Brown tasting the fares in Spain. Since then, I have so wanted to do the same. Some day...

My only authentic tapas experience in Spain was in high school - my h.s. Spanish class went to Andalucia region for a week. All the restaurants and foodstuff was arranged by our teachers, so I can't comment on what exactly we ate and where we ate it...but my oh my was it delicious! I had never had food like that before the trip.
