Top Chef Reax   [Jonah Goldberg]

From a reader:

Jonah –

 

My husband and I were (note the past tense) huge fans of the show for the past two years until Sam was eliminated.  His elimination was made more egregious by Chef Tom’s statement that the judges only look at that particular challenge when making the elimination decision.  What a crock.  The title of the show is Top Chef which in and of itself implies a consistent level of high quality cooking.  Not to disparage either Ilan or Marcel but Sam was far and away the most consistent in terms of his food.  When I go to a restaurant for a meal I don’t want to pay $100.00 for a mean that consists of a bunch of chemicals (re: Marcel’s cooking).  I can get that at a fast food joint.  With Jeffery’s win on Project Runway and then Sam’s elimination on Top Chef, it is clear that the producers at Bravo TV have already purchased the new (Saturday Night Live) Velvet Jones book “I Want To Be A H- For Ratings”.
