Top Chef NYC

I agree with everybody, it was a good first episode. Stefan is definitely the favorite right now, he seems to have the skills and the attitude you need to pass that kind of test.

Yes, that was Rocco at the judge's table, so that should boost ratings for at least one week.

I don't really have any favorites yet, I guess I want to see more of their "characters." The first episode is always the one where everyone tries to be polite.

Oh, and I heart Padma.

 

Interesting first episode. I like the duo of Euro snobs, makes for good TV.

Was disappointed to see the military wife get the boot so quickly. I think I'm rooting for the little tattooed guy, Eugene is it?

 

Considering how many there were last season, it's a relief.

 

Tines up, except when i feel self conscious in a nice place, and then i go tines down. Yes, I'm a dork. Sue me.

Yes, I watched. Top Chef is consistently the best of this genre. Great quote from the chick who got booted, something like "I came this far and then got done in by Apples?"

 

I don't know about any of you, but I'm crazed to know what Padma spit into the napkin.

 

From the previews/reactions, it's gotta be from the girl who barely survived last week, I'm thinking.

But yeah, I really want to know, too!

 

I've been thinking about Padma a lot lately, too.

 

While you're busy goosing Mikey? Yikes.

I'm excited about tonight. That's a reaction I've never seen on one of these shows.

 

I think someone has told Padma to be nicer, she seems much cheerier this season.

Here's what I want to know: All these challenges, do they happen daily? Every couple of days? How much time do they have in between these ordeals?

Hot dogs. Love it. I am crazy for this Fabio guy.

 

I agree, 21. Hard not to like Fabio.

 

I don't like long hair, facial hair or guitars...and yet I'm 99 percent sure I would murder a family member and/or close personal friend for a night with Dave Grohl.

I'm so excited for next week!

 

Me too. On both parts.
