Top Chef All-Stars

when marcel was drunk and yelling at dale and dale didn't snap on him i thought his days were numbered and dale basicly engineered his knife packing. also thought tiff was more of a competitor, she sucked today

I never understand why the people stuck running FOH don't tell the judges they got hectored into taking the spot (Fabio aside).

That felt great.

I was expecting a "Come at me, bro" from Isabella.

i thought the bodega concept was pretty brilliant & the food looked awesome

marcel was obviously going to be an utter disaster leading a team

blaise is also a str8 genius

Dale was the supergenius for making Marcel a team leader.

First team challenge I can remember where the judges loved every dish from a team.

not readin this but i can't find a stream/torrent anywhere :(

missed the end of this last night but glad Marcel went home - setting him up as the leader was total payback

There's one where he's in Russia (?)

Uzbekistan! Only remember that because it's one of the most unremarkable culinary countries I've ever visited, the sort of place where they sell lamb kebobs on the street that alternate meat and cubes of fat, and the fat is considered the good part. In that ep. they make him start drinking in the morning and he gets a painful massage.

Good bread in Uzbekistan, tho.

Oh that massage looked awful.

oh this was delightful

blaise seems like a total bro, glad he won. dale is a tactical mastermind. wkiw fabio 94/7. marcel gtfo and go commiserate with that other pathological narcissist that went home last time

94/7? gbx are you on diet pills?

Thinking this season is shaping up nicely with a lot of likeable & talented bros and gals.

definitely the best season in a long time; down to the hardcore now

Dont wanna jinx it but with all the love I'm feeling it's up there with the Beardo Kev/Jen/Voltaggiobot season.

Marcel hilarious clueless ("I'd do everything exactly the same! EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WAS ALL FUCKED UP!"). I will miss him.

Remaining contestants mostly seem okay, although Angelo is a sleaze and Dale is still a total dick.

awesome episode. so glad marcel is gone. dale is brilliant.

yeah Dale and Carla and Isabella are gettin my vote these days

that ep was the perfect way for Marcel to exit, too. almost seemed staged.

"Marcel's Quantum Kitchen premieres March 7 on Syfy"
wtf?

This bears repeat-wtf'ing.

Marcel's Quantum Foam Kitchen

Marcel's Quantum Tantrum Kitchen

No doubt pitched himself as a knife-wielding MC to MTV as well.

wow, isaac mizrahi is COMPLETELY THE WORST!!

who would've guessed????

i still want to marry lorraine bracco

guys can we talk about how angelo wrote "crocadile" on the table like a crazy serial killer? that mizrahi challenge was nonsensical btw.

angelo is remarkably creepy

padma's yellow silk sheath was the business btw

quickfire challenge was stupid - seemed like everyone was aware of this except Mizrahi

CROCADILE

do a lot of people say "the business"

I ask this question because one of my friends is completely convinced its some sort of common phrase that's making a comeback

it's real annoying, whenever he says it, his voice gets all hushed, it's like when the words come out of his mouth they're bookended by tildes

that quickfire was LAME, Mizrahi is the worst of all time. WTF at setting up that stupid challenge AND not eating any of the dishes.
How about Tom Coliccho judges his stupid fashion show wearing a blindfold? Moron.

Loved the elimination challenge. I get why Tre went home, because risotto has always been a 'thing' but still. I was pretty sure Dale was gonna lose out bc of no flavor and just a bad dish all round. Poor Fabio losing the Italian challenge. He looked so sad.

that's totally how i say it too tbh

~the business~ is def a thing that ppl say, get with the times hombre

reflecting, i think i say it about hot dresses a lot

I should have realized they were doing a little hubris foreshadowing with Tre talking about how he won on a risotto in his season

quickfire was terrible

The look on Mizrahi's face when Creep-o was going about his love of Roberto Cavalli and alligator was pretty lol.

Cant believe (well I can, but you know) how bitchy Mike and Fabio were about Antonia's winning dish. "She won for steaming a bunch of mussels". No dudes, she won for being on point, which neither of you were or you would have won. Especially Mike and his undercooked rigatoni. And not even clapping when she came back to the stew room? Kind of a dick move from the fellas there.

You've really gotta undercook fresh pasta to make it taste like "bullets going down your throat" (as bourdain remarked in his recap).

i can not believe antonia won for mussels, whether or not mike or fabio would have won.

i kinda wanted tiffani to win, even though she annoys me. they seemed to really appreciate her dish and it would have been a cool coup.

i really enjoyed this episode. Weird about the fondue in that some of the chefs are like 'This is for key parties and hippies!' I mean fondue is classic Swiss/French/German cuisine. But I must say everyone's food looked good for the elimination challenge.

carla is insane

v good ep tho
