re: Top Chef New Orleans-Anyone Watching?****SPOILERS*****

He was the other rapper in 8 Mile, right?

Here is something interesting. Its a nice psychology experiment. The dude cops to eating potted meat. But he also said he wanted more gravy from Justin. And now 10 million people or however many watched it are all in agreement that Justin's dish needed more gravy.

eh, it was a fun moment about a guilty pleasure from his childhood.
I thought he was one of the best guest celebs they've ever had. Genuine.

The rest of the judges agreed.

Point isnt that the rest of the judges agreed. Its that the viewing public agrees. A viewing public that was neither present nor tasted the dish. Not saying anyone is right or wrong, but it is sort of strange that one's viewpoint of food (meant to be eaten) is colored by pictures on tv and comments.

I thought that it needed more gravy when I saw the picture of it, but I'm an admitted gravy fanatic and have said here that rice 'n gravy is more like a bowl of gravy with rice in it, for my taste. I could see a pile of shredded looking chicken on the top and it appeared that whatever gravy or juice there was had gone down into the rice, but there was no gravy on the sides of the bowl.

I believe there was a comment about the dish having sat for a while which may have resulted in the rice soaking up the gravy and that's not a good thing either, so timing might have caused the issue.

What surprised me more was the comment about it not having a lot of flavor. It would surprise me that he would make a dish without much flavor especially a gravy dish. Seemed strange. The color was certainly rich.

I laughed at the commercial for Duncan Donuts that Padma (is that her name?) did before the Quick Challenge started. It was like she was reading from Duncan Donut Queue Cards posted just off camera.

She was reading off a Queue card. It was Philadelphia Cream Cheese the episode before that.

I'm sure Padma, Tom and all the chef's strongly endorse and eat the frozen Top Chef Healthy Choice too.

Next weeks episode will be at lsu

I have a want to try each food accordingly.
