Top Chef: Miami
Snacks on a Plane
Good news! I finally found a way to take a screen capture and turn it into an image so I can share even more pictures of the yummy, and sometimes scary, looking food. It was not working before so I would only grab what I could find on the Top Chef website, but had to find a way to do it since they had a lack of pictures this week.
Tom mentioned during the show that they are expecting first-class results out of all the chefs at this point in the competition. I agree and thought of the stuff they were serving surprising. When they admitted certain side dishes were afterthoughts, I’m wondering why they are still there. I think some of them are being worn out and their desire to be there is not as strong as it once was, while others are ramping up to their full potential. It should be an interesting final run to the end of the season.
Quickfire Challenge
Padma woke up all the contestants at 6am to make her breakfast in their apartment. The entire living room area was set up like a kitchen with Top Chef pantry items. They each had a Breville Blender at a table, along with a tiny cutting board and a small burner with a small skillet. Not a lot of room to make anything, but about as much room as I have in my kitchen, so I know it can be done! They had 20 minutes to make it. No one had a chance to change, so they got to make everything in their pajamas. Hung knocked over a bottle of truffle oil right away so there was broken glass on the floor. Broken glass is bad, but I’m glad they knocked over some truffle stuff since haven’t we had enough truffle anything in this competition? I think it was a metaphorical send off of Hung and his love for everything truffle.

The line of wristband people was huge. They were letting all the people that had tickets already go in. Then they would let wristband people in if anyone with tickets left since it was at capacity. The worst part was they were still selling tickets at the box office. Why? If they didn’t buy them beforehand, don’t sell anymore and let the wristband people in! Very rude. The line for Spoon went down the length of the building, around the corner, and down the length of that block. I was there an hour before the show started, but I knew all the people that were inside did not buy tickets to see the opening bands. They were there for Spoon, so it would have been impossible for me to make it is. Very sad, but I missed them.
sure what to expect, but any parts of the musical that matched the movie would make me happy. I was surprised at how much of the actual dialogue from the movie made it into the play. It made me quite happy. It also made other audience members happy too, since they would cheer after their favorite lines.
