Top Chef

Quickfire Challenge: It was cool - they had to make a dish based on 3 keywords randomly generated by a slot machine. I learned a new word - umami - it's the fifth taste. Weird. Kevin wins for the 100th time, because he is awesome. He needs to win this whole thing.

Elimination Challenge: Working in pairs to make dishes for a dinner party of chefs. They're assigned ingredients and have to cook in their house - all of them at the same time, of course. There are woks on chairs boiling water. I'm surprised, and thankful, no one cooked in the bathroom.

Jennifer and Kevin are paired up and that's a freaking superstar pairing right there. Their beef looked amazing, and apparently was. They won, with Jennifer taking first place because she made the sauce.

Ashley and Eli got slammed for their undercooked prawns and salty gnocchi. They've both overstayed their welcome, in my opinion. Bye-bye: Ashley. It probably should have been Eli because he really sucks and he salted the gnocchi, but she would have been gone soon anyway.

We learned about umami from a kids CD - now that's pop culture for ya!
