I was in Nanaimo last week, so pulled a Nanaimo bar out of my freezer to eat whilst watching. I would have happily eaten any of the top 3 EC dishes, but my Caribbean roots are happy with who won.

Speaking of pine, Food and Wine, the magazine that sponsors the show, has a recipe for a pine needle Paloma in its current edition. Now to hunt down some local pine!

For any Canadians, the show is now airing on Bravo (as we now have it in Canada). It airs at a different time as well, check your local listings.

I will continue to shout from the rooftops. Top Chef is travelling to at least one city outside of Toronto. Why is it that Top Chef Canada doesn’t do that? But, I’m excited that now we have the US Bravo station, we’ll get the extended, 1½ hour version of the show.

Alison Holker is releasing a book about Twitch. Former contestants are NOT happy about it and are dragging her on social media.

A new African edition is being launched https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/project-runway-africa-2025-1236074710/

I’m worried that he’s going to peak too early. And I will continue to shout it from the rooftops—this show needs to travel across the country.

Just saw the ad that the new season begins Oct 14, Thanksgiving Monday.

I started to tear up watching Taylor (or Katie) getting emotional being able to speaker her own language and talk about what nation she’s from. This is the game I love, not how a certain couple played it. Looking forward to the finale. I’ll be happy no matter who wins.

Note to Canadians, The Daily Show will be shown on Slice beginning September 8. I’ve missed you, show!

I’m watching episode 4, and Ryan’s conversation with Tricia Lee where he’s talking to her about her working with a developer to sell the rest of the Brooklyn Tower. I had to rematch it to confirm, but the manicure that she has at the benning of the scene is completely different from the one at the end of the scene—even though she’s wearing the same outfit.

I remember the show “Selling New York”, from about 15 years ago. They talked about how many months/ years it would take to sell a high end property, and how much the realtors spent marketing said properties. It was a great show, with no drama. I miss it.

I really don’t like that the u-turned team could choose another team to turn. I wonder if that was always the plan, or was decided when TPTB realized Kevin and Gurleen were the ones being u-turned (and hence, could create more drama). I used to spend a lot of time in Penticton, so it was great to see that part of the Okanagan.

I would love if they travelled around the country (giving side eye to Top Chef Canada, who only films in Toronto). There is so much that this country has to offer, culinarily.

New season just announced for August 15.
