MOVE: TOP CHEF – Watch What Happens

TELEVISION I watched, but what happened wasn’t quite as much fun as the competition episodes. Though a lot of the info “revealed” can be found at the BravoTV.com blogs and message boards, the main reason to catch this episode is see some familiar and friendly faces.
But there were a few clips and tidbits that were worth sticking around for...

First, Ilan might have thought it was fun to wear the tux but it was not pretty, between the oversized tie and wearing no socks with the pant legs rising up above his calves.
Harold’s restaurant Perilla has opened.
Padma said she gained a lot of weight during season two. Where? In her thumb?
It was noted that Tom Colicchio eats precisely like a surgeon.
Regarding boyfriends and girlfriends, Hung said it could go either way. If only I could get Fan Favorite Sam over here, I’d overlook doing it in duck fat!
Three of the Top Chef Fights shown naturally involved Marcel. But my favorite of all time was Mia laying into Cliff, telling him to put his dick away, in front of the judge’s table.
The funniest moment of the night was a clip with the last five season two chef-testants recreating a Quckfire Challenge in their hotel room, with Elia doing a spot-on impersonation of Padma. I cracked up when she asked why the steak tasted like steak.
Dale’s response to the fact that the chef-testants have to give up cell phones, computers, TV and radio was all that’s left to do is “eat, sleep, drink, smoke – that’s about it.”
Regarding Padma’s outfits, Tim Gunn said that he loves them and Sandee responded that after looking at the chefs all day, Padma brightened up the kitchen! I'll bet she does.
Also loved hearing Padma say: "we're missing a spatula that I use for a mirror!
And we found out that Chef Tom is an icon of the Bear community. Ted summed up the description nicely, saying bears are burly gay men and find Tom delicious!

If Sam is the Fan Favorite (that’s such a no-brainer) then check out another contender, the evening’s hot and handsome host, Andy Cohen. http://www.bravotv.com/blog/andysblog/bio.html
