Recap: Top Chef All-Stars, Episode 10, Locked in Target

I haven't caught many episodes this season so I just sort of keep up by reading your weekly recap, which is always great. Anyhow, I caught last night's episode and Bravo/Top Chef-endorsed-half-the-episode-Target advertisement aside, what is the deal with the commercial breaks on this show? It seems like four minutes of commercials and then a 30 second focus on a contestant followed by another four minutes of commercials. It's ridiculous!

Oh yeah, and Richard should have won.

Advice! Going on a first date!

Recently I was kind of set up with someone. It was a comfortable situation with friends at the fair but we both knew that we were being set up. Anyhow, I was already against the idea before I even made it to the fair and was pretty much against it the whole time we were there. Yup, until she and I both decided that it would be a good idea to try a deep fried Klondike bar. At that point my mind changed about the whole situation and I'm now in the midst of getting to know a really fun and interesting person. Point is, be yourself, eat what you want, have fun. If he likes you, he likes you, if not, free dinner. Might as well make it one you enjoy.

Recap: Top Chef DC, Episode 10, CIA Challenge

I think this season is definitely lower in entertainment and talent than previous seasons. I was excited for the season to start because this time around there were James Beard award nominees and Angelo even has a Michelin star but it just seems like the level of the food is lower than was expected. I think Kelly and Tiffany are great on the show because, despite Kelly crying her eyes out a few weeks ago and the fake budding affair for Tiffany, they are drama free. It's the first season where I haven't minded missing an episode here and there though, just doesn't seem to have the pull of seasons of the past.

Did the Internet Kill 'Gourmet' Magazine?

I adore Cook's Illustrated but all of the whining about the internet killing magazines/newspapers is getting ridiculous. Granted there is a ton of crap online but it's much more fun to weed through it there than in a magazine that you're paying for. Gourmet was a decent magazine for many years but Conde Nast didn't do much to keep it up to date with a changing market. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Kimball and others like him are slowly realizing that they need to change with the times. While there is a ton of crap online there are several well written food blogs, many of which are written by people that have full time jobs doing things other than recipe testing and food writing. I think it's kind of funny that some of the people that are being paid to do it are having issues figuring out how to adapt. Set aside some time in your day for constructive brainstorming to save your brand and stop wasting your time complaining about that dern technolergy they call the internets.

Burger King's Little Brat Digs Apple Fries. Do You?

I can't guarantee this but I'm 99% sure that apple fries aren't necessarily "fresh" in the most commonly understood context of the word. I used to work in R&D for a pretty big restaurant company and we tested some "fresh" apple products for kids that had so many additives in them that they kept, sliced in wedges, for the better part of a month. Even when they started to deteriorate and become slimy they still held their shape.
