Quite frankly, these are dangerous. The watermelon-ginger combination makes it a very refreshing afternoon margarita. It's a thirst quencher. But the ginger really masks the taste of the alcohol so the potency is hidden until it's too late. You have been warned!
I made these yesterday. Sauce tastes fantastic but is a bit too watery even after reducing. I'd suggest replacing one can of the diced tomatoes with paste.
Is this kid a savant? His memory is incredible. More info on this amazing child please!
If Stephanie or Richard wins, I'll only have warm feelings for a day. But if Lisa wins, it will provide good material for a full year's worth of bitching.
Loads of great chefs are complete *ssholes so why does the winner have to be someone you'd want to share a beer with? She's certainly the least charming but at this point, I'm starting to warm to her just so she can give a big FU to everyone who has slagged her off.
There's a Q&A with Richard on the Food & Wine site. I can't tell when it was posted, but I am wondering if it's part of the 'profile' they promise the winner every year. I hope so. Stephanie definitely seems to have stepped up, but I think Richard is the more inventive chef. If you care, you can see him in his new restaurant in Atlanta here [turn the speakers off so you don't have to listen to Madonna]:

Lisa took Spike's place at Mai House in New York. He went to DC to open an upscale burger place. If the owners of that restaurant hired BOTH Spike and Lisa, they must be just like them. Why can't all chefs be as charming as Danny Meyer and Todd English?
I haven't tasted her food, but Lisa -- as a person -- is vile.
I hope wherever she's working, the health plan has a mental health benefit, and she uses it to get some much needed therapy and/or some heavy-duty drugs to mellow her out. She's intense.
As things stand now, I am definitely rooting for Stephanie! (I do like Richard, though...)
OMG...I can't believe that Lisa is still on the show--much less in the top three. I am sad to see Antonia go, but in reality, she will be just fine--she has talent and class. As for Lisa---as much as I dislike her, she has become for me something akin to an accident on the freeway--now matter how much you want to look away you just can't--just waiting for the next whine and cheese moment. So telling was her comment to Blaise and Stephanie---you really have to have issues if you need to tell people to congratulate you--but as we all know, with Lisa it's all someone else's fault. Anyway, here is hoping Stephanie wins. I have been impressed with her all season.
I was more disappointed than anything. Antonia has done great throughout most of the show and Lisa has been in the bottom almost every time, yet Lisa's grumpy butt is still there. I have enjoyed Antonia's spunk and how her heart was in all of her dishes.
I too noticed the comment from Lisa "your beans are burning" which was probably the editor's little way of foreshadowing what was going to happen.
Surely Lisa won't win this. I'm totally on Team Steph, just hoping that a woman will win it once. Blais is good though, guess we'll see soon!
The difference between Hung and Lisa (besides Hung being more likeable in just about every way) is that while he had occasional misfires and wasn't great about taking criticism, he made consistently excellent food. The amazing thing about Lisa is that she has made it that far by never quite completely screwing up but always being second or third worst. She is kinda like a cockroach.
Blais or Stephanie should obviously win. I think Blais is a little cheesy with all of his puns and "plays" on whatever, but he is a good chef to be sure. I hope Stephanie wins though. The car definitely felt a little like a consolation prize even though I don't buy into the Bravo conspiracy theories.

Because she can't take criticism and she ALWAYS has this dopey look on her face at judges table like, "I can't believe I'm here..." How many times does she have to be in the bottom? Tell me the last time she wasn't in the bottom!
I really hate Lisa. She's been in the bottom 3 at like 10 times. She should have been cut ages ago. Always barely gets by while the better chef goes home on a technicality. I'm grumpy.
I want to know which judge(s) Lisa has pictures of in compromising positions! I cant explain her still being around with her lousy attitude and food to match.
