'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 13: Mardi Gras in N'Awlins with Emeril Lagasse
Carla has come into her own nicely. I wasn't thrilled with her theatrics early in the season, but her upbeat attitude and comic responses to difficult circumstances was refreshing compared to the other competitors' self-entitled whining.
Hosea ran out of steam; Stefan's technical aptitude is obvious but his arrogance tends to trump the food he makes. I'm not certain that's a good enough reason for him to lose, though.
'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 7: Toby Young Rocks
I felt bad for Melissa but I was really waiting for the episode when she'd be kicked off. She seems like a nice girl but not nearly as effective a contender as she needed to be, even to have lasted this long. I was concerned that Eugene would be allowed to stay yet again over Carla. I don't have an affinity for either one of them but I feel as though Carla's food has been more consistent while Eugene's brash personality and arrogance makes for better TV.
Speaking of arrogance, I agree with the majority of the commenters about Toby Young. He seemed more interested in throwing out forced metaphors/similies that he probably thought were clever, than critiquing the food. I am also annoyed by the editing because Young's self-indulgent remarks overshadowed the more food-appropriate comments from the other judges.
Piss off, Toby!
WTF? Leave Co. Alone, People
I'm curious as to why the first accusation that Adam and Lahey are friends was subsequently followed with an insistence that Lahey's paying him off. Whose friends make them pay for a favor? Apparently that commenter's.
As to his/her identity, I would first suspect someone who has a vested interest in Co. rather than a rival because controversy draws publicity. And given the irate nature of the comments and the absurd personal accusations, the end result is having the integrity of Adam's positive review reinforced. On the other hand, it could just as easily be someone throwing a hissy fit :)
Kudos on the diplomatic responses, Adam.
