…blah blog blah…

I’m behind with Top Chef Masters, and I’m still behind with Hell’s Kitchen, too. This afternoon enabled me to catch up on episode five of TCM and the recap of that is posted over at Reality Ravings.

The Springboks are playing the All Blacks as I type this, so I will soon be losing the television to a delayed replay of the game. That puts paid to the plan of catching up today…

Again, only a smidge of Tom Colicchio in this episode and no Gail, but we got Wylie Dufresne, a great Lost crossover (Dharma Initiative jumpsuits!  Food in tins!), a bright red hat and the phrase “avant garde pastry chef”.

Full recap over at Reality Ravings…

Arena is screening the Top Chef Masters at the moment and I’m blogging it over at Reality Ravings.

The premise of this version of the Top Chef format is that 24 “celebrated” chefs will battle it out in various heats with the winners of each heat vying for the Top Chef crown and the associated $100,000 donation to their choice of charity. In the first episode, the chefs face the challenge of making sweets for kids and turning out a three-course dinner with… limited facilities.
