Bryan V

The Washington Post blogs have been hinting that he wins.

ETA: They, or I, could be completely wrong. This is kept tighter than 40 year old virgin.

Humor me... here's a breakdown of the finalists:


Bryan:
-no quickfire wins
-4 elimination wins, 4 in the "top" group, never on the low side
-Notable dishes: Tequila shot Sweet and Sour Macaroon, Trout with Deconstructed Sauce Bearnaise for Joel Robuchon, camping Roasted Pork Loin, Napa Crush party dishes

Kevin:
-4 quickfire wins (escargot, slot machine stressed-hot-spicy, blind team "relay" dish, TV dinner)
-5 elimination wins, 3 other "top" dishes, 1 time on the low side
-Notable wins: Arctic Char with Turnip Salsa Verde, Deconstructed Chicken Mole Negro, Pork Leg Pâté, Vegetarian Duo of Mushrooms and Smoked Kale, and the Bocuse d'Or Poached Lamb Loin
- The bad: the Restaurant Wars meltdown

Mike V:
-2 quickfire wins (craps dice Nitro Gazpacho, Napa Grape Leaf stuffed with Couscous)
-3 elimination wins, 6 other top dishes, 1 on the low side
-Notable wins: Air Force Braised Pork Belly, Restaurant Wars, New York Upscale Buffalo Wings
-The bad: Macy's surprise bag Pancetta-Wrapped Halibut with Egg Yolk Ravioli


so...
Kevin's been the best overall and Michael has been consistently good, but both have broken down at least once. Bryan has been consistently good and has never been on the low side.

Personally, I'm going for Bryan V. I like Kevin a lot, but I can appreciate the knowledge and technical skill that Bryan has showed. Google his restaurant in Maryland. The space and menu look amazing.

I'm not looking forward to that big-mouthed woman who appears on Iron Chef America being one of the judges for the finale. She is absolutely horrible to listen to.

Hopefully Gail will be wearing another low-cut dress to distract me from bitchy Iron Chef critic.

I think Bryan is the best chef remaining.

Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!

I think Brian should've been sent to the Bocuse d'Or but Kevin is a better chef, however, Kevin's too rustic for Bocuse. Michael won the car and the car winner never wins the whole thing.
