Back in the Kitchen

Oh Top Chef, how I missed you. And now with another great chance to relive the same drama of season one and two I give you my perdictions on how the year will turn out. Just like in season one and two we have a wonderful villan and loveable yet overly demanding thirdplace bitch.


Our villan for this season: HUNG, an almost exact copy of Marcel but with an Asian Twist. Now that it isn't ok to think the french wine lovers are better than us, we have to pick a new target, Asians. Great job casting directors, he even knew last seasons bad guy. I feel certain that the only way this person will not be in the final four is if too many critics catch on to the exact storyline repeat of seasons 1 and 2. Look for more over-confidance, extra sauced lovely plates that scream "I know what cooking is about and you can't get into my club!" Best of luck Hung, and maybe the producers will let you change the generic storyline and let evil win. Who knows.

Our third place, sore looser with amazing talent will either be one of these three

Howie, an extremely talented chef who will certainly deliver some NEUH YOURK TUDE. What he most certainly learn durring this season is how to soften up and be a leader, and everyone will be so surprized at how he has changed and grown so that when he is kicked off the show some viewers will cry out at the televisions and bawl.


Winner of the first Quickfire challenge, Micah will win us with that lovely South African Accent and become a real bitch until she finds a soft spot in her heard for this season's newest hearthrob:



Ahh Chris, you will wow us with your stories of overcoming cancer and find a real voice in complex sauces and delightfully optimistic garnishes. Just wait this guy is going to use more citrus juice than "orange julius" used.



If Sara doesn't make any mistakes her proximity to MIami Quisine will give her a real edge with the seafood centered menu that will most likely show up this year. However I fear the viewers might start leaving if there is too much fish on the show. Take Iron Chef Japan as your guide on that one. Viewer demographics were always less on days with sea urchin, squid, and whatever other exotic food you might present.

The Winner of Top Chef hasn't shown off yet, and I have a sneaking idea that the one change the judges have planned is that it will not be Tre.



But perhaps I am giving too much credit to the producers. They have found a formula and if "The Real World" is any indication, things aren't going to change, it will just become more drunken fights, a (cross your fingers) major knife accident, and a romance. It seems the only ingredient not added to the stew yet.

As far as judging goes, it was great to see Anthony Bordain back in the hot seat dishing out insults and swearing at the worst of the worst. I just picked up his book and am excited to read.
