Watch It with Us: 'Top Chef' All Star Reunion Dinner
Wow, that was terrible.

I love to make something I call Mexican Cheeseballs. Mix jack cheese with jalapenos and/or chiles, form into little balls, and wrap in wonton wrappers. Fry or bake for tasty snacks.
Ramen-Based Pizza Crust
This picture made me cry. As I was scrolling down the page I first saw the luscious pepperoni and cheese, then the ricotta (which I first thought was cream cheese, yummy!) and I was drooling at the tastiness.
Then I saw the ramen-- the horror!

The header is missing the other brother. I was wondering why it looked weird.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
That was the worse looking chile relleno I've ever seen.
I think it's kind of weird that one of the chefs has a Michelin star.

I ate at Eve's in Ann Arbor MI in July. It was great ( I had halibut with risotto and peas). I got to meet her for a minute, she seems shy. I think she looked so scared last night! I think it's pretty impressive that she is on the show with so many contestants from big cities.
BTW, the Puck rocks!
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Okay...loved the season opener...
Jen Carroll, definitely a front runner and love the Amber analogy...
Michael...total ass, but he can cook
Kevin...caught me by surprise, the old "don't judge a book by its cover" adage works here
Jen Zavala...glad she is gone...her gauges were too distracting (even my 16 year old son..who btw was lobbying for gauges earlier this summer..said they were disgusting)
Wolfgang...great judge...well thought out, constructive and witty comments...very close second to Eric Ripert in the classy judge category
As for Mattin....okay the French accent is sexy, but my heart still belongs to Fabio...
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Thoughts:
-Tom seemed just smitten with Wolfgang; I mean what's not to love about everyone's favorite Austrian.
-I'm pretty sure Jesse is just going to cry in every episode. I could do without.
-Was I the only who thought Hector looks like he flips coins and knows how to use a cattle bolt?
-Where was Toby? Working with choreographers to develop a ZING! dance?
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
I think Jennifer might give Michael a run for the 'villain' title this season. She seems like she's pretty ruthless. I'm glad thought that we all got a chance to see how talented she is before the claws come out.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Puck was witty, funny, and gave some constructive advices. He and Ripert are my fav TC guests so far. It's nice that he lent his place for the young chefs to cook in as well.

Puck stole the show for sure. He overshadowed all the contestants and like Remander, I was never really a fan but now I certainly am. I'd pay good money to see Eric Ripert throw a donut across the set.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Within the first five minutes, my husband and I already knew who would go home, as usual. When the family photos come on screen for a contestant this early, it means they're out. While I thoroughly enjoy the show, I wish Bravo didn't make it so easy to tell who's going home. Just watch to see who gets screen time in the very beginning of the episode...they always either win the challenge or pack their knives and go.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Oh yes, she is SO Amber from House! haha
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Having eaten at Jen Zavala's and Jennifer Carroll's restaurants, it didn't surprise me very much when Zavala was sent packing. The elimination challenge didn't have any restrictions, she could have made anything she wanted. They only had to prepare one serving, not dozens or hundreds as they sometimes have to in the elimination challenge. And she chooses pre-made seitan?
It also wouldn't surprise me if Carroll ended up in the top three. It seems like she and Kevin and the front-runners. Of course, both of the challenges last night allowed her to cook seafood, which is her strong point, we'll see how she does when the challenges are more restrictive.
Wolfgang was a great guest judge, I hope they bring him back a few more times.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Ditto what Remander said re Puck. Great to see him on the show.
'Top Chef,' Season 6: The Premiere
Looks like a good mix for the new season.
How great was W Puck as a guest judge? One of the best I would say, and I've never been a big fan of his before. He was witty and articulate, and he really seemed to be having fun.

@polly28, right.... my bad... I was referring to "Gail Simmons" not "Gael the Elvis fan".
