CURRENTLY SERVING:

Join us each week as we share our thoughts on the previous nights episode of Top Chef: Las Vegas. One of our Philly compatriots was already eliminated, but we will be watching closely as Jenn Carol from 10Arts competes for the top prize.

Episode 2: Bachelor/ette Party: This week, the Quickfire Challenge’s most memorable moment came when one of the hot Volt Brothers (we still can’t tell them apart) decided liquid nitrogen would be just the tool for perfecting his gazpacho. The video above is an extra in which His Hottness explains exactly how to make it. Cause, ya know, we all have tanks of liquid N around the kitchen for just such moments.

Moving on to the elimination challenge, the judges provoke the contestants by making the men and women compete for the win by making some h’or dourves paired with shots for a bachelor/bachelorette party. Shots, dude! Vegas! All of this made for some very unhappy lesbians – Prop 8 lingering in the air like a recent death in the family — but they still did their best and came up with some interesting combinations and what looked like creative dishes. The problem we have with this show, even after several seasons of viewing, is that it is impossible to judge for yourself. We see them making the food, we hear what the judges have to say, but without actually putting the food in our mouths, it is kind of impossible to have an opinion. On this episode, it was even more difficult, as there are still like a million contestants and they all kinda mush together in our brains. Anyway, the boys won, gay marriage should be legal and those shots looked kinda nasty.

So far we are really liking Beardo, the curly haired jewish dude who wore shorts last week, and the chick from Philly who should probably work on her accent. You are on TV, sweetie, spend a couple extra minutes trying to annunciate. Tune in for our recap next week, it looks like people are fighting.
