TDFFFreak Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Starts in about a week. I am going to try and keep up with this one in a more timely fashion then I did with the New York season. I do love this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love this show. I like it, too... and not just 'cuz I'm a reality TV junkie. Should be cool in Vegas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Bravo just keeps this rolling. Top Chef Masters hasn't even finished yet. I'm not a freak like Darin, this is just about the only reality TV I'll watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I wonder if they were filming this last year during WCOFF. We saw Colichio in the Hilton bar with a few friends. I'm thinking the turnaround is quicker than 11 months though. Of course, I'll watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDFFFreak Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) I wonder if they were filming this last year during WCOFF. We saw Colichio in the Hilton bar with a few friends. I'm thinking the turnaround is quicker than 11 months though. Of course, I'll watch. I don't know for sure, but I am almost certain that the turnaround has got to be quicker than 11 months. I am thinking they shoot the first part (before the final 3/4 go to another location) about 4-6 months (or less) before it begins to air.

policyvote Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Ugh. They keep doinig the ingredient relay earlier and earlier--but what makes it good is having some rivalries and friendships already established. . . plus, later in the season, the riffraff (WHO HAVE NEVER OPENED CLAMS) have already been eliminated, so you don't get five chefs standing around with thumbs up butts for 15 minutes.

bpwallace49 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Didn't someone say that Colichio has a place in Vegas and that he likes to hang around there? Yes. we did. He owns a restaurant there (one of his Craft line) and spends a lot of time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace policy At least they get a relay out of the way early. It's one of the least interesting things that they do on Top Chef. If I want to watch a relay, I'll go check out I Love Money on VH1 or Road Rules/Real World Challenge on MTV. Top Chef is better than those shows by a country mile. I already have a few favorites and a douchebag after last night's season opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Glad to see Rick Bayless win TC Masters. I'm a hugh fan of Mexican food and you can tell he truly understands and appreciates the culture that goes with it.

Bier Meister Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 there are a few that are standing out, but generally speaking...looks like the talent base is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a hugh fan of Mexican food and you can tell he truly understands and appreciates the culture that goes with it. +1 I would love to try his food. It looks like all 3 of his restaurants are in Chicago though. This year's episode of TC: LV looks pretty good. I have no idea what that was that the loser this week cooked. It looked hideous. Also, the bacon donuts were just out there. You have your whole life to draw from to impress these people and you pick that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonD Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yes. we did. He owns a restaurant there (one of his Craft line) and spends a lot of time there. Craft Steak in MGM Grand...If Tom's in town he frequents the MGM poker room fairly often...plays 2-4 and 3-6 limit hold em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameltosis Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 +1 I would love to try his food. It looks like all 3 of his restaurants are in Chicago though. going to The Frontera Grill tomorrow. Not sure if it will be for lunch or dinner though, depends on how the day shakes out. I will report back with the results but I am fired up.

SheikYerbuti Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Even with the early exit of "Neck Tattoo" (who remembers names??), this year easily destroys the record for most tatted up group in show history. And I'm guessing the hubris record is in jeopardy too, which will be quite a feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Some of those dishes did NOT look/sound appealing at all. I know you try to make a splash the first day, but C'MON . . That stuffed pepper was abysmal to behold. I see some talent this year, but I also see some explosive personalities, and I hope someone cuts out the tongue of that douchbag from new York . . . what a condecending prick . . .

Middle of the pack will get you to the next week every time. This is NOT cumulative. Don't start taking risks until you're in the final 4-6 contestants. Survive and advance.

Any performing/creative art is going to have a higher percentage of openly gay men. Also, if you are watching Bravo for the manly men and hot ladies, that is a you problem.
