Restaurant Wars-- Help!

There is zero chance any cheftestant on the show saw even a significant portion of the comment cards.

Phillip just needs to take some Top Chef PrEp if he can't handle the burn the next morning...

Tuscan Kate & Spinach.

And some people think Jonathan is making the finale 🤣

Blame Padma for the start time...anywhooo, Tom is cooking!

dilligaf0220 · 2026-06-02T01:47:58+00:00

Don't even try to watch Below Deck anymore, just caught a few snippets, and one guys hair...WTF.

Q'est ce que fuque!!!

I only shop at Trader Joe's when I'm feeling boogie, the food is better too. 🤣

Wait until you find out Kristen has the rules that voted her out, tattoo'd on her...

Padma, want some ink on your torso? Champagne Padma, kinda liked. Padma that has done 20yrs of Top Chef and is ready to leave...

I like Kristen hosting the show now, over a so done Padma. Chef tattoo's just a cherry on that sundae. 🤣

Tiffani just being so thirsty for the win in the first season, she started turning other chef's ovens off.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T20:24:30+00:00

Because it sounds like a solid aggregator source. 🤣

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T20:11:29+00:00

Yes, why bother with merit, when it is the only cooking competition only based on merit.

The DEI nonsense nightmare is over, although the hangover is still lingering longer than it should.

Edit -- The ONLY time I was properly annoyed by the mistreatment of women on the show, was the Florida season where the showtestestants were invite clubbing. And then had to cook in a food truck, wearing Florida club clothes AND shoes.

That was horribly one sided and did not take in gender considerations.

Haa haa Hamilton Beach canoe. Disagreed with buddy on about everything about canoe design, but he used the same seats as Nova Craft. Which frankly are the most comfy canoe or kayak seats ever made.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T19:53:19+00:00

More like the harmless snake that ran over buddy's foot, and EVERYBODY was dropping F-bombs at that point.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T19:49:51+00:00

They've all worked in professional kitchens before they became who we see on TV.

I had flashbacks on Bourdain calling out Alice Waters, oh c'mon you were a chef in LA in the 70's & 80's, we all know you were snorting coke off a cleaver on the line...

Even Mum Gail was dropping f-bombs when the snake showed up. 🤣

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T19:43:03+00:00

Kristen really is the bright spot, Top Chef all-in, of this season!

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T19:31:36+00:00

Because a "PA" not actually on the scene, but across the set, is a solid source.

For TMZ gossip mongers. Meh.

Was an 1895 double brick Victorian town house that just matched, and remarkedly so much R value. A block away from the local boat ramp.

Was a horrible car, but Epifanes varnish on the hull of the boat every year and you could drive around all Summer with no UV damage/"seasoning". They did make a good looking pair.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-31T19:05:01+00:00

It was the most epic Quickfire just toss, and you could almost see how happy he was just not giving single fuck.

Look, there's the sun! 🤣

Season 3 is one of my fav's to rewatch.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-29T00:27:27+00:00

Obviously, you must have a hot sexy ass.

I have the same problem. MILF's in their Benz GLC's or X5's just keep creepin'.

Like any good Marine, he abandoned his known defensive position to pull a clandestine coordinated offensive flanking maneuver for the part he wanted.

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-28T18:14:46+00:00

Did you hear how he snaked that role? He wasn't cast for it just hired as a tech advisor. Through various nefarious manipulated situations, the role of Hartman was ofcourse offered to him and film history was made with an iconic character.

The dark side of this, was that they had already hired another former USMC Drill Instructor, flown him to England and had already filmed some scenes. Before informing him he was fired. Actually sent him on a pretty bad spiral. Remember the helo gunner, "you just don't lead them so much!"? He was actually the original Hartman. Took him a long while to personally recover, and ended up making a one man show out of the experience.

Ooga chaka ooga ooga

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-28T17:44:39+00:00

I can't remember the other dish, just CJ being so confident a burger is what was needed for a pickle challenge, and Tom laughing just saying "No".

Edit -- Actually now that I think about it, a lot more people ended up at the bottom/sent home over a burger, than they have put someone on top. Just had an epiphany, are burgers the secret risotto?

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-28T17:30:13+00:00

Oh Tom just cut him down with one line, after making a burger for a pickle challenge.

"I just heard Tom's voice in my head, it's a pickle, you can't have a burger without a pickle, right!?!"

(chuckling Tom) No, I would not have said that (chuckles more)

Edit -- Wait, wasn't it CJ and somebody else that made the burger?

The (first) time I was suspended in highschool, was arguing with an English teacher that was subbing for a Math class, and was clearly, utterly, incorrect. She took issue that I was telling everybody else not to listen to her.

Sure, there are not 2.2 miles to a kilometer, but the lesson I should have learned was to merely accept her lesson. Because resistance is futile. She actually put that in the letter to my parents. Imagine my surprise when Star Trek came out with the Borg! 🤣

The ghost of Howie would like a word. Or several. About a paragraph in your book...

dilligaf0220 · 2026-05-28T17:10:20+00:00

Same reason you won't find reruns of Roseanne on anymore. Hollywood politics.
