My LIVE BLOG experiment for the “Top Chef:  Las Vegas” finale after the jump. [Read more →]

So the big season finale of “Top Chef: Las Vegas” is tonight and I am going to attempt to live blog during the show.

I know this only means something to about six of you…but I thought why not give it a shot.

So if you are watching and happen to be around your computer I invite you to stop on by!

Go Kevin!

So after a scheduling break last week due to the holidays, “Top Chef: Las Vegas” was back last night.

Thoughts about the first part of the Napa themed finale after the jump…

Well now that was interesting…

Thoughts about last night’s “Top Chef: Las Vegas” after the jump…  [Read more →]

So last week Top Chef aired some  stupid “where are they now” type dinner party / conversation with past contestants.  BORING!!!  and disappointing as they didn’t make any sort of programming note after the previous week’s episode.  So last night’s was the first new ep in two weeks and that is on the heals of their last break in episodes…what’s up Bravo scheduling department???  Way to kill momentum.

Anywhooo…comments on this week’s show after the jump. [Read more →]

Okay – I’ve been talkin’ about catching up with my “Top Chef” viewing and posting, but I just can’t seem to set any time to write about the last three episodes that I’ve missed.  I’ve literally had five pages of notes that keep getting moved from home to work to home to work… 

So executive decision time, I’m just going to start fresh with last night’s show, “Meat Natalie“, then quickly touch on the last three “lost” episodes (Dinner Party / Pigs and Pinot / Restaurant Wars).

Let’s finally do this thing! [Read more →]

Traveling for a week can really pile things up on a guy!  How does this pertain to TDB? Well I’ve got a PACKED DVR with tons of stuff to watch, including two episodes of “Top Chef“…hence the reason why no recap yet. Also, I can’t get the photos off my camera right now, so I can’t get my Fast Food Friday post up today. Plus, I’m leaving early today to head up to MSU for Homecoming.  Need to start that party early.

I should get back to a normal schedule next week as I’ll mostly be either sitting at my desk or sitting at home (I lead such an exciting life).  So let’s just plan on meeting up back here on Monday!  I’ll catch up on the stuff above plus have a little review of my dinner at Aqueous, the AAA Four Diamond restaurant at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, that incuded plenty of bacon!

Have a great weekend.  Go Green!

Oh my gawd…..

I have never heard or seen such a thing and I truly believe I am a better person for now knowing this exists.

This recipe was submitted to “Red Eye“, the Chicago Alt Paper, for a contest called the Virtual Kitchen Stadium where readers submit recipes for “Top Chef” winner, Stephanie Izard to judge.  After three weeks, a finalist is selected and will cook their dish with Stephanie at one of her Wandering Goat dinners.

Just read below and see if you don’t have the same reaction I did, along with your mouth watering profusely!

So from last week’s previews, I got all excited about this week’s episode.  I mean, Penn & Teller, I love those guys!!  But it all just ended up being no so exciting. It wasn’t a bad episode, just blah… [Read more →]

I love me some Top Chef, I really do…but this last ep was really kinda blah to me…here we go with the bullets! [Read more →]
