Comments on several items. No, Kelly is not prettier than Padma. Different, but both seemingly sweet, and drop dead gorgeous.
I have been lobbying for a couple of years now to get a new Head Judge on Top Chef. Mr. Colicchio (he’s not a trained chef) has no palate for fine food in my opinion. I remember when he claimed truffles had no business in French food? WHAT ??? Rocco DiSpirito set him straight. All that double talk about that restauant sounds like (A) no he doesn’t own it but thinks his name means something so they leave it. and (B) he’s gonna run for president soon … non denial denials are everywhere.
I don’t live in Dallas, but I am enjoying the discussions on this website. I’m a fan of Lisa Garza and am happy she is getting some respect as a chef. It seems Food (evil) Network was able to find jobs for the two MALE finalists.
I also was disappointed Tim Love didn’t do better on TCM. His food looks really good and he is a great guy, it would seem.
Well, thanks for letting me vent and keep up the good work.

Rawlins, don’t ever leave me. Favorite: Attend ‘birthing event’ of nocturnal birds in organic aviary. Full disclosure: (before i even read your comment)last night I went for a walk at 10:30 and searched the trees with a flashlight to find owls.)

You’re right NN — it only got worse.

Just read your Frost/Nixon interview with Costa. Wheew!! Double good grief all over again. Think at this head pounding moment only one word springs to mind for you — Demerol.

And speaking of pounding.

@the great nichol plated one — hey, why after a day like you describe for Nancy do you only allow the poor girl only minutes of bliss between 1:30 and 1:35?? She deserves MORE

does anyone think that maybe “TC” is not the only reason why Craft has done as well as it has? why screw over another business over pettiness like these types of blogs.lord knows its hard enough these days

Good grief. Do you experience this kind of run around often? I got a headache just reading about it.

Life could be worse tho I guess Nancy.

You could be working for TMZ and trying to nail down quotes from those involved with the Jackson camp these days.

I remember thinking that there was probably no love lost between Jennifer and Nancy after reading Jennifer’s snippy reply to the Sprinkles post and then I thought the same thing yesterday when I read the TC interview.

As the aged beef actress-author Shirley McLaine said last year: “The more I learn about men, the better I like dogs.”

PS query: Is in true that in parts of Guam and much of Bosnia, ‘PR’ stands for ‘Puffed Rubbage’?

Quality lately hasn’t been what it once was. Tom’s name might not be enough.

“Tom’s name is still on the restaurant, and he is very much involved with the concept and menu”

So what does that mean? Bill Bates’ name was on his restaurant that failed but he didn’t own it. I assume this mean that Tom no longer owns it????????
