"Top Chef Chicago FINALE"


  

          

Fuck it, that other OTHER post is too long. And besides, the finale deserves to be treated special.

Will Stephanie become the first female TC? Will Lisa shock and disgust all by somehow winning it? Will Richard bust out the mini-smoker? TUNE IN!

I thought they were going to give it to Lisa there for a second. Damn I hate the fabricated suspense of reality TV.

Was kind of pulling for Richard, but I think it was a well-deserved win for Stephanie. She seemed to really be hitting on every challenge towards the end, if I remember correctly.

Oh, and all of Richard's shots at Lisa throughout were hilarious.

Lisa may win this. Maybe she deserves to win? They all seemed to enjoy almost every course of hers. I tried to talk myself down from the bell tower.

I was ecstatic when they said it was Steph.

And I agree. I don't give a fuck what was said during the show, they spent all that time convincing themselves that it was OK to give it to Steph based on how close it was and overall performance. Because based on what was said there? It sounded like Lisa had the better over all service. But I guess we'll never know how much better that lamb/pistachio/olive dish was than everything else.

And I'm a bit bummed for Richard. He knew he fucked up. That's almost worse than getting slapped in the face with fucking up.

I couldn't believe she didn't screw up the rice pudding! I'm surprised she even bothered with rice, since it seems to be her Achilles heel.

I don't care what the judges say about not taking personality and past performance in account. That HAD to have played a role in their decision. If Lisa had won couple more challenges and/or exhibited a more pleasant demeanor at judges' table, she probably would've won.

lmao at 3% of the viewers wanting Lisa to win. That's worse than last week's poll.

I really wish he hadn't admitted to the judges that he choked. Did he think they might give it to him anyway, for admitting he knew he could do better?

I can't wait to see the epic melt downs. I'm guessing Lisa gives Richard a bit of the "You won the fucking bronze medal" payback after his performance in the finale.

And I really thought I was wasted cuz they had to think long and hard how NOT to give that shit to Lisa. She finally brought it, lol, whilst Richard pulled a Darius Washington Jr. My man used banana scallops more tham Captain Saffron (almost). Props to Steph, she was a fav from the jump and I believe her winning was well deserved.

Also, why do so many of these amazing chefs get so fucked up on the dessert course. Like you are going on a cooking competition, learn how to cook 2 desserts well.

You had like 3 weeks off before the last two episodes, you don't think learning how to make a good dessert would be beneficial?

In last week's episode, Stephanie mentioned 6 months when she was talking about traveling around Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. (Which is my dream vacation, BTW - lucky girl!)

Every season a number of chefs get fucked over on the dessert. You'd figure by now they gotta step their dessert game up if they wanna win.

I bet Dale woulda had an amazing dessert...lol..lemme stop

You just have to get a good recipe, memorize it, then do it over and over and over again till you have it down pat.

Whereas with say, cooking meat, you can have an idea in your head, start working and change things constantly as you go along until you get something that tastes good. And if towards the end it isn't that good, you just add a little salt. You can't just add powdered sugar to a cake and no that it will make it all right.

She definitely deserves it.

And yeah. I was pretty worried Lisa was gonna get it.
I love when, right before they give the verdict, they always say something about each Chef, and they ALWAYS say some awkwardly generic shit about Lisa.

"Lisa... Asian flavors are your thing.... Bold.... Spicy... It's all about you..."

30. "I was musing about the finale for a bit before bed"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And a rather obvious observation came to me.

Lisa finally was able to do her thing and she looked just as good, if not better than the other top chefs on the show. But except for one or two times in the previous 13 episodes she was never really impressive as a chef. She was often in the bottom two or three but was obviously lucky in that she was never as bad as some. But when she was finally able to cook her food, her way? She did well.

So the question in my mind is: could/would all 'great' chefs do well at the various challenges that Top Chef presents?. Every season we see good chefs like Sam, Tre, and Dale ousted before their time. What's to say that Tom or Eric Rippert or Thomas Keller would excel at those same challanges?

I guess at the end of the day, the argument is that if you have solid basic cooking skills (decent butchery, knife work, strong palette, creativity/imagination, and seasoning) you would likely go far. I realize the challenges are essential to the format of the show, but it still makes me wonder how a heavily awarded chef would fare on the show. Would chefs who have a more versatile or expansive cuisine do better than one who focuses on one particular region or another?

Thoughts?

In response to Reply # 30


  

          

"Even good chefs have bad days."

So, yes, I believe that a chef a revered as Eric Ripert or Thomas Keller could have been booted before making it to the finale. Maybe Ripert would have been criticized for working too much with seafood. lol


Would chefs who
>have a more versatile or expansive cuisine do better than one
>who focuses on one particular region or another?

I think the challenges may be designed to favor those with a more expansive culinary repertoire, but for those who specialize in a particular cuisine, if a dish is done well, it may have the power to impress the judges a little more because it's not something they see every day. Think of the Spanish chef who was there for Restaurant Wars. He was impressed as hell with Dale's Halo Halo, even though Bourdain, who'd had it before, wasn't all that thrilled with it.

Then again, Steph and Richard didn't specialize, and the judges were always commenting on how surprisingly good some of their flavor combinations were.

And actually, that came out a lot at judges' table - when they were asked if they made a particular dish before, Blais and Steph almost always said that was the first time they'd made the dish, and Lisa almost always said it was something she'd done before.

Did Lisa really do the best but they held her resume against her? (which of course they're not supposed to do), or did they simply edit it to give her more of a chance? Looked like her red meat wasn't that great, but they didn't discuss it much at all. Meanwhile, the judges made cases for Lisa's other 3 dishes as the best.

I already forgot what Stephanie's 2nd dish was, can someone help me out?

i can see ppl being eliminated based ONE MEAL/challenge. but to name top chef based on one meal is kinda wack. its not like steph cooked a wack meal. but all 3 were prolly good. and steph and lisa were prolly neck and neck, but the tiebreaker will no doubt go to steph.

I know, I follow. I was just annoyed that the season ended up with Lisa having no chance in the finale even though she did really well. Almost makes me wish Steph fucked up to see if they had the balls to give it to Lisa. They prolly woulda gave it to Blais then, lol. And I'm not trying to specifically defend Lisa (even though I don't hate her as much as most of yall), I'm saying it just sucks that there was dead weight in the finale and they gave her false hope.

You're rooting for one person and hoping the douchebag doesn't win. I was a bit worried that they might give it to Lisa. Lisa dessert looked weird but I'd like to taste it. She really stepped it up.

Happy that Stephanie won. I liked that all the judges broke down what they liked/disliked about every dish. Enjoyed Richard explaining to Eric Ripert the nitrogen technique.

and peace to Padma in the red dress.

They seemed to always work very well together and compliment each other's styles. Blais would probably calm Dale's bullshit down and hopefully Dale would get Blais to focus.

Unlikely to ever happen, but interesting to think about.

Anyone have any other pairings from any season of Top Chef they'd like to see happen?

Hmm...when are we gonna see Symon as a judge on Top Chef? Somebody needs to make that happen next season.

Or does that go against his Food Network contract?

I'm trying to think...have any chefs with shows still in production on FN ever been on Top Chef? I can't recall any.

she was also in No Reservations serving tony the lamb head in the nyc ep.

Ted Allen seems to be the only real crossover.

They should have shown blaise's ICA after the finale. It woulda gotten them some ratings.

Yep, I knew I saw her on one of Bourdain's shows, but I couldn't remember if it was No Res or A Cook's Tour.

Yeah, but are you just referring to his recurring judging duties on ICA? I don't recall him having his own show on FN.

That's right! Thanks for reminding me to look for a torrent of that ep.

Bravo’s 'Top Chef' Tour Takes Shape
June 16, 2008



B&C has been all over Bravo’s Top Chef tour. Since breaking the story in May, we have taken a video tour of the truck and spoken to former “cheftestants” (ugh) about what they will be doing as the tour moves forward.

Well, Bravo has announced the tour dates, so all you Top Chef fanatics take note: the tour could be coming to your city soon.


Long Island, NY June 21

Boston, MA July 1

Philadelphia, PA July 4

Pittsburgh, PA July 9

Columbus, OH July 12

St. Louis, MO July 16

Denver, CO July 19

Phoenix, AZ July 26

San Diego, CA July 30

San Francisco, CA August 2, 3

Los Angeles, CA August 8

Des Moines, IA August 16

Detroit, MI August 23

Madison, WI August 27

Chicago, IL September 3, 4

Raleigh, NC September 13

Tampa, FL September 20

Orlando, FL September 24

Atlanta, GA September 27

New York, NY TBD



That’s right, New York is TBD. Whatever.



So what can fans and affiliates expect? Well, in each city the cheftestants will perform four live interactive shows, three for fans and one for Bravo's cable affiliates.



Also on board the truck will be cooking demos, tastings, show secrets and cooking tips.

Affiliates will also get a private meet and greet with the chefs, taggable spots promoting the tour as well as logo and product placement inside the truck.
