March 12th marked the premier of Bravo's Top Chef Season 4. The contestants met at the original Pizzeria Uno in Chicago and wasted no time getting to the Quickfire Challenge: Chicago style deep dish pizza. The chefs were split into losers and winners, and they were pitted against each other for the Elimination Challenge. Each group of two chefs had to pick a classic dish that they would create in direct competition with their partner. Classics included lasagna, chicken piccata (I included the link in case Ryan finds this blog!), soufle, crab cakes, steak au poivre, shrimp scampi, duck a l'orange, and eggs benedict. Stephanie was our eventual champ with her Asian-flared duck, including a braised duck spring roll that all of the judges (including Bourdaine!) raved about. Nimma did not fare so well. Her over-salted shrimp (marinated in parsley?) served with cauliflower vomit was enough to send her packing. Here are the stats:
Winner: Stephanie
Eliminated: Nimma

"His gnocchi weren't the only thing that was dense" R.DiSpirito
Was it just me or was the serving of the pizzas to padma and rocco excrusiatingly boring?
I think we're going to have an interesting season. Out of the gate I think that Jennifer and Zoi have an advantage because they are a couple. I definitely think that missing your loved ones is a tough part of these reality game shows.
So we're saying I should have watched the episode before reading the blog. I hate you guys.
