Since I was busy tasering people last week, I missed the “Top Chef” program.  Thanks to the miracle that is DVR, I watched last week’s episode right before this week’s.  Here’s the bullet recap (don’t read if you haven’t seen the show yet): [Read more →]

So last night was a GREAT night as “Top Chef: Las Vegas” premiered. 

I LOVE “Top Chef”!!!  There I said it.  I even really dug “Top Chef Masters” (which wrapped up last night, but it’s still on the DVR, so don’t tell me anything about it) but let’s face it, it just didn’t have the same energy as the original.

“Top Chef” is one of my favorite shows on Television!!  I am even really liking “Top Chef: Masters” even though I know that it is really just a placeholder until this next season starts in two weeks from Las Vegas…

“TIME Magazine” TV critic James Poniewozik put a list together for this season’s contestants on what to do / not to do.  As I read the list I just kept nodding my head in agreement.

Here’s number 2 on his list:

2. Do use bacon. People love bacon. Carnivores love it, health nuts crave it, vegetarians forswear solemn oaths for it. Dishes featuring bacon regularly get praise, even gratitude, from judges. Indeed, the power of bacon is so great, it can even overcome the do-not-rely-on-the-freezer rule: Richard Blais did well in Season 4 making bacon ice cream. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go crumble some into a sundae.

Preach on, preach on.

So bouncing around the googleverse today and came across a story about Padma Lakshami, the host of “Top Chef” on Bravo, was staring in a new hamburger commercial.

Okay, curious…I like Padma and “Top Chef” is one of my favorite shows…so let’s go to the video tape…

uummmmmmmmmmm…ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…..wow?!?

She really seems to like her bacon cheeseburgers!

I have been in a few Carl’s Jr.s in my day and I can tell you from experience that I have never seen a woman who looked like her in a Carl’s Jr…or outside of Carl’s Jr…or even within a 3 mile radius of a Carl’s Jr…beside that, it’s completely believable! 

Ah advertising, with your pretty women eating things I like!
