Top Chef: Las Vegas

Quickfire Challenge: Make a dish out of potatoes. Oh this is my heaven. Me love potatoes. This is going to make me hungry.

Now I want potato soup. And some sweet potatoes. And a freaking mashed potato burger - OMG!

Elimination Challenge: Cooking for the military, using a military kitchen with industrial equipment - no burners? huh? - and lots of canned vegetables. They make a buttload of food.

A lot of these chefs this year are pricks. There might be 2 nice, sympathetic people in this bunch - Big Hector and the Haitian. Oh yeah and the Paul Bunyan Dude - Kevin.

Pasta salad? Preeti and the other chick made pasta salad? I make pasta salad. Just like that too - with the broccoli and the sundried tomatoes. Did they use bottled Italian dressing too?

I want the braised pork. Badly.

Winner: Michael and his awesome bacon thing. He took what was actually a huge slab of bacon and braised it, treating it like pork belly, and making a lettuce wrap with it. Yum. Between that and Kevin's braised pork it was pig heaven.

Bye-bye: Preeti and that damn, lame pasta salad. Tom really gave her holy hell about it too - LOVED THAT! The judges were uber-bitchy, just the way I like them.
