I don't mind Eli. Robin does seem like she is a bit much. I want Mike to go more than her.

Dinner Tonight: West Indian Rice and Beans
we made this over the weekend but added some chicken and chalula. it was like a nice bean risotto. really good. I see lots of potential for improvisation here.

Breakfast tacos in Dallas?
La Michoacana has great Tacos but not sure if they have breakfast tacos? Otherwise you will have good luck going to a Fiesta or El Rancho.

Wow, that was terrible.

I'm also getting annoyed by the increasing emphasis on drama (which I too suspect is largely created by editing) over food- with this few contestants, we should see what everyone has prepared.

My two cents...I have not been as into the show this year because it seems to have taken such a nasty soap opera-ish turn...this started last year with the Josea/Leah thing. I can't stand for people to be down right mean and hurtful, whether the person deserves it or not. I can't imagine being Robyn and watching this now to hear the contestants talking about her behind her back. What horrible rotten people. She is still there and there's no one to blame for that but the judges. Anyway that being said, the only contestant I am rooting for is Kevin, he's the most consistent so far and he looks like Yukon Cornelius. LOL.

@Chew: Mike V needs to chill about this whole "I'm the best chef in this season" attitude. It was almost like Stefan last year, except Stefan was winning challenge after challenge. Mike V even looks down on his own brother!
I really feel the top 2 would be Kevin and Brian. But who knows! I never thought Josea had any chance of winning last season!

I was pretty turned off by Eli and Mike V's immaturity in this episode too. I was still mad at Eli for aiding in Ashley's elimination last week but he certainly didn't help this week. It seems like the only level headed guys in the group are Kevin and Bryan.
Anyway, immaturity aside, I agree that the top 4 contestants of the whole season were the top 4 this week. Even though I don't eat pork, all of their dishes looked and sounded good. Though did anyone think Bryan's dish looked exactly like his steak dish from the camping episode?
Overall, I hope Kevin, Jen or Bryan win. Mike V needs to chill out about why he is better than his brother.

I know Robin personally, not as well as I know her mother, for whom this must be painful to watch. (It's painful for me.) All reality shows are about casting and editing. Robin was cast as the bothersome old lady, and lately edited as the woman you love to hate. This whole drama would play differently if the actors were all in their forties and enjoyed similar levels of maturity.

i cant stand robin. she should have been sent home along time ago. i mean her dish had no pork taste they said..atleast you could get the essence of pork from ash's dish i think robins there for drama. eli and mike may be rude but hey everyone in the house is annoyed with her. she's there for one reason 'sympathy card"

Eli's a little twerp with a napoleon complex. I hope to see him gone very soon. Seriously immature and annoying.
Robyn, as much as she would annoy me if I was there, wouldn't piss the hell out of me like some of the other aholes. it seriously's become, all the cool kids picking on the outsider (though it seems like kevin's at least trying to stay out of it)....

OK, this reads as "White House Does Not Serve Beer" here...

Funny that Budweiser, Coors, and Miller are all non-US companies.

@pearce77: But he does use Dijon mustard, so of course he's still elitist.

I heard on NPR this morning Obama is having a Budweiser (now a foreign owned company). He smokes and drinks tasteless commercial lagers?

Hey, at least they've got Stone, Russian River, Deschutes, and many other fine American breweries putting out quality craft beers. Think of the reactions of foreign diplomats when served an ice-cold glass of Arrogant Bastard by the President of the US!

Hitachino Nest White Ale - best beer ever.
White House Does Not Serve Foreign Beer
Beer is something that should be consumed as locally as possible. As a rule I try to drink beer brewed no further away than 250 miles (and I prefer closer). Also, both Red Stripe and Becks are pretty 'meh'. I'm sure the White House brewmaster can do better for these guys.
White House Does Not Serve Foreign Beer
They may not serve it in the cafeteria or stock it for general use, but I doubt highly that some staffer doesn't have a stash of some imported brew tucked away in an office fridge.
On an unrelated note: Gates likes Red Stripe and Beck's? What an elitist! :P

Is the Pomegranate Glaze really discontinued? My mom tried to buy it in Atlanta but they didn't have it. Can it be found elsewhere???

asparagus, green beans, corn, and different jams would be my top choices. I would love to win this! In fact I was thinking of having my husband's grandmother teach me how to can.

I am trying my hand at vegetable gardening this year, so I'd like to be able to preserve tomatoes, corn, pickles and green beans. I'd also like to preserve fresh local fruits in season.

I would like to know how to preserve yellow squash. Like many others on the comments, tomatoes too.

I would like to can more tomatoes in different methods. Often in the summer there are many more than you can use & they can be expensive in the winter. There are so many different ways to use tomatoes!
