tljgator May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 Kudos to TPTB for ditching immunity since it's a double elimination -- no one has to feel like their partner is protected and they're not. I like that. 4 Link to comment

Lamb18 May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 I'm really curious to see how all the 50 shades of smelt turn out. When I was a little girl, some 50-60 years ago, we would go to smelt dinners. I think they were some sort of community fundraiser. I just loved those smelt. They were fried but not breaded. There was a red sauce you'd dip them in. 1 2 Link to comment

SailorGirl May 14, 2021 Share May 14, 2021 I hope its not just me, but I am an emotional wreck watching this and they haven't even gotten to the serving! I think that today being the day CDC announcing vaccinated people can stop wearing masks and knowing this was filmed in some of the worst of the pandemic and knowing what they people they are feeding were going through, combined with my absolute adoration of Jose Andres and everything he's done with World Central Kitchen and how many people he has helped and lives he has saved through it, is just emotionally overwhelming! I've been pretty stoic throughout this whole COVID mess -- single, not high risk, no elder family around but still being cautious so as not to be a carrier infecting someone else -- maybe this is my emotional release of the past year. And if Tom talks about what he did for restaurants during the pandemic (pressing Congress to expand relief to restaurants), I'm toast. Damn you Top Chef. And bless you. 12 Link to comment

tljgator May 21, 2021 Share May 21, 2021 Wow -- this feels like one of the biggest differentials between the two teams we've had. Unless it's a fake out (seems doubtful), the outcome is pretty clear. Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama May 21, 2021 Share May 21, 2021 (edited) I couldn't believe the course where the chef said that the judges get crispy Salmon skin, and she was asked where the Salmon is, and she said the cheftestants were having it for dinner later. I guess that was supposed to be funny, but I don't think it went over so well. I love Tom's acid comment. That was so amazing when Dale asked for another serving of dessert. I love that Jamie came back from LCK, and is doing so well. I love this way of doing Restaurant Wars, less FOH drama, no bad servers, or other drama. Team Penny disappointed me. Dawn was the only one who shined. I'm surprised at Sarah, Gabe's dishes sound blah, and the tostada sounds awful. Chris had some good points. Congratulations, Maria! Sarah goes to LCK. I would have knifed Gabe. Edited May 21, 2021 by CrazyInAlabama 2 Link to comment
Ms.Lulu May 21, 2021 Share May 21, 2021 Dawn shined, but her indecision threw off the rest of the team. 8 Link to comment
LennieBriscoe May 21, 2021 Share May 21, 2021 Dawn was uncommunicative, indecisive, secretive, and aloof. Her demeanor cast a pall over the team's service, IMO. She should have been PYKAGed for not being a Team Player. In seasons past, a bad FOH non-cooking role led to dismissals, so now it's strictly about the food? 5 Link to comment

I can’t remember someone who hit it park out of the park with two dishes that only they touched ever having that happen. None of them were good at front of the house. Sarah also just stood there and talked to Dawn about how they were uncomfortable and that they had nothing to do and she also made two dishes with issues (I cannot get over the salmon waste!, work that into one of the other dishes!)

I think where it really showed was in the planning, and prep work when they weren't there. Than all of them sucked at interaction when the judges were there. I would love to know what Tom and Padma et al would have thought after they watched the episode about Dawn's role. I told my husband part way through Penny's service that Dawn was going to come out on top, despite her actions hampering her fellow teammate's plans. 3 Link to comment
