Chinese cooking has long been an topic at which I have turned up my nose. For many years, I was awash in a sea of Panda Expresses, crab rangoon filled with Philadelphia cream cheese, and MSG-laden Chinese buffets.
A lot of that had to do with college. During those four years, I looked at […]

Well the Limited Series that was The Next Iron Chef Finale has come and gone in the throes of Battle: Swordfish. This was an interesting battle between Chef John Besh and Chef Michael Symon, two chefs that took very different paths to the top. […]

Warning: In this post, I talk about who won the Top Chef finale.

Okay, due to a scheduling conflict, I am just now firing up the Top Chef season 3 finale. I am voting for Hung, but cheering for Casey.

In this post, I talk about who was eliminated from part one of the Top Chef finale.
It was rather fortuitous that Food and Media day happened to land on Wednesday, the day part one of the finale of Top Chef aired. It strikes me that I might have set things up that way…
I am not a TV […]
