michelle1836 Posted January 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Have any of you cruise foodies been watching this season of Top Chef? a head chef from Royal was on but did not make the final 16 cut. Although I have only sailed Carnival so far, i was rooting for her. cruise loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_n_Sara Posted January 3, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2012 We watch it and was sad to see her leave so quickly. Even good chefs have bad days but I'm not sure that being a good chef on a cruise ship is practice for a competition like that. Haven't been real impressed with any of the chefs this season.

michelle1836 Posted January 4, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted January 4, 2012 since cruisinpsychRN is still catching up, I'll just say, I like Chris C. I mean I like to look at Chris C :D nothing this season like the Voltaggio brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefoodie Posted January 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This season so far I'm rooting for Paul. My favorite was Richard Blais, maybe one day they'll put bacon ice cream on a cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted January 12, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I also like Grayson and Beverly seems to be a surprise underdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claroquesi Posted January 16, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think she would have had the edge if she could have made it to this point. The lack of sleep is really getting to contestants and I think being accustomed to ship life would make fatigue a non-issue for her. Too bad her cooking was weak.

Teacher_91 Posted January 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I don't think I've ever missed an episode of TOP CHEF and most I've seen numerous times since BRAVO tends to rerun them often. As a Texan I find this season particularly interesting... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacher_91 Posted January 24, 2012 #10 Share Posted January 24, 2012 your favorite for this season?? your all time favorite?? For this season Grayson is my favorite 'girl' and Paul is my favorite 'boy' All-time fav??? WoW! That is hard. There have been so many that I liked in past seasons... LOVE Stephanie (season 4 winner) and actually not only got to eat @ her Chicago restaurant Girl & the Goat this past summer, but actually met her. I was so impressed that she was working right along side her staff. I also enjoyed Dale, the Voltaggio brothers, Casey, 'Red-Bearded Kevin', Carla, Fabio, Jenn Carroll... oh my gosh. I almost always like them all! LOL! :D How about you? Any 'stand-outs' for this season or in seasons past for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted January 24, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2012 My favorite still is Richard Blais. I love Top Chef. Own several items from their online store. Even have the trivia game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted January 25, 2012 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Oh, I love Richard too! I cried when he won All-Stars! :o It was well deserved. I still think he should have won the first time around also. He is extremely talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted January 25, 2012 Author #14 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I agree about Richard. Dh ate at his place in Atlanta and had a burger and captain crunch milk shake! I also like the Voltaggio brothers. that was probably my favorite season beside the all stars. we were supposed to eat at Volt (Bryan's place) but DH went ahead and got himself a kidney stone and we never made it. :( Love Fabio too just because he is Fabio. wasnt my favorite chef though. and of course Carla!! glad she got fan favorite second time around. maybe I should have asked who our least favorites were. that might have been easier LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even thinking about heading down there for a long weekend and doing just that. Voltaggio brothers are awesome. And Fabio! I love Fabio. I love it when I can watch him doing other shows. I am having a brain fart right now but who was the talented guy who got sick in Singapore when it was down to the final three I think. Tall, nice looking? I see his face but cannot think of his name. I actually like Hung also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle1836 Posted January 25, 2012 Author #16 Share Posted January 25, 2012 antonio. I thought he was good too! and Hung! certainly not a fan favorite but was a lot of fun to watch!! he was so excited to win LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Tuesday Morning is having a buy out of cookbooks starting this week and they advertised the Top Chef cookbooks for $9.99. I already have them all so it doesn't do me any good.

Teacher_91 Posted February 1, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 1, 2012 So what do Y'all think of Beverly? She only has to beat tomorrow's eliminated chef and she's back in. I'm sure that would create a little 'drama'. She definitely didn't seem to be a favorite of her peers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that would create a little 'drama'. She definitely didn't seem to be a favorite of her peers! I like her. If they don't like her, I think it is because they are jealous and afraid of her. Don't like the way they have been treating her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted February 1, 2012 #23 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Are the cookbooks easy to use? Admittedly, I haven't looked at them since receiving as presents. I collect cookbooks, hundreds of them. That said, I pulled one out the Quickfire Challenge one and started perusing in order to answer your question. It seems that the recipes are not complicated as far as ingredients or amount of ingredients. For example, Harold's Pan Roasted Chicken with Potato Gnocchi wone the Season 1, Episode 10 Quickfire Challenge. It only has seven ingredients not including salt and pepper. There are also a lot of things besides recipes in the book like "Who Cooked It?" with pictures of dishes and you have to name the people who cooked them or "Test Your Foodie IQ." Lots of other fun facts and behind-the-scenes info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see if I can find the Top Chef ones at our local Tuesday morning. I know I'd enjoy the 'behind the scenes' info! Thanks for taking the time to pull it out and let me know! P.S. Where do you keep all those cookbooks? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
