Restaurants Bride and prejudice on 'Top Chef'
Posted by Besha Rodell @BeshaRodell on Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 4:33 AM
OK, my crush on Gene is officially over. Cute neck tattoos aside, surf and turf sushi???? REALLY?
It's sad, because now I have no one to cheer for. Some of the chefs are OK, but at this point, do we really have a sense for how any of them cook? Some are upscale, some have ethnic influence, some want to impress with their cheer leading for the decency of "simple" - but is there anything here we haven't seen before? Or that's even slightly exciting? There hasn't been one dish served this season that's made me say - wow, I'd really like to try that.
The failures are certainly outweighing the successes thus far in terms of memorability.
