Top Chef! — Page 17

That could be why he was such a jerk.

The promo from last week scared me SO MUCH! What's going to happen? It looked pretty major.

---

I just have to say that reality shows where people get voted off (including Top Chef) need to stop running promos for the next week showing who is left. Who are the morons on these marketing teams? SHEEESH!!!

---

Personally, I thought the rap was exceptionally well-written. That kind of stuff isn't easy to do!

---

My dad actually thought that they, like, shaved his head while he was asleep or something. THAT would be interesting.

---

That would be cruel.

I say they've shaved a stripe right down the middle of Marcel's Wolverine hair, or they drew a silly mean eyebrows, curled mustache, goatee combo (with permanent marker so it wouldn't wash off).

Whatever it is, it's still around when they do judges circle.

Of course, maybe it's not Marcel at all. Maybe they gave Elan a mud-mask and they judges are merely commenting that Elan's complexion is simply glowing!

One of my friends in college had a few too many. When he dozed off, his roommates shaved off his eyebrows completely (he didn't wake up while they were doing this). He looked ridiculous! Poor kid wore sunglasses for weeks.

I got the impression that whatever it was affected more than one person, because Tom used the word "them," so I don't think it was something that just affected Marcel...

I'm envisioning fisticuffs, black eyes, and cut lips. Though a mohawk, shaved eyebrows, or magic marker would be preferable.

Speaking of foam, has anyone here actually eaten it? I did once, at Aquavit, which is the restaurant that Marcel used to work at. When I saw the foam (served in an amuse bouche), I thought it was a bacon dish, you know how the fatty part of bacon can look a little bubbly when cooked. I put it in my mouth, and blech. I swallowed it, and wondered what the heck it was that I just ate.

Which brings me to a question... The foam-laden amuse bouche was served in one of those big spoons. There were 3 different new wave appetizer items on the plate, and the presentation was just like you see on Top Chef. The center item was the foam thing, served in the large spoon. It's the large spoon that you often use in a Chinese restaurant when they serve you wonton soup.

The question is this - when they put the amuse bouche in the spoon, are you supposed to put that big spoon in your mouth to eat it? LOL. I generally don't like shoving a big spoon like that in my mouth, the exception is if it is soup.

Or, are you supposed to somehow consider the spoon just the presentation surface (like a plate), and use your fork to eat what is in the spoon? It was not finger food, given the foam.

Incidentally, I was the only person at the table who ventured to eat the foam thingy. Everyone else was turned off by the look of it, and overall, we were pretty disappointed in the restaurant.

Yeah. They probably shave Marcel's ass or something.
