So another season of Top Chef is over ... and I just don't have much to write about the last two episodes, because they both were a letdown. Oh Fabio ... wasn't his leather jacket and the pink scarf the coolest outfit ever? He was eliminated in the penultimate episode because his cooking wasn't Cajun/Creole enough -- but I think he did the right thing by staying true to his style.
In the finale, I had a hunch Carla would be sunk by listening to Casey's suggestions to sous vide the beef and to do a souffle. I was really bummed for her. But she did herself proud by competing "with love" instead of nastiness.
In the end, I found it unsatisfying when Hosea won. He and Stefan both have annoying personalities, so it seemed fitting that the chef who dominated throughout was the winner. And, by the way, I would happily eat Stefan's pedestrian dessert any day of the week.
In any case, I hope we see more from Fabio and Carla. I would happily watch either one on their own cooking show.
Coming up ... my chat with Stephanie Izard, last year's Top Chef!
