Top Chef: I've tricked people into thinking that it's mayo.

So ... this happened.
Dear Padma,

Seriously: what the what is going on?  You showed up to the Quickfire today dressed like you we caught you in the midst of a Stride of Pride circa 1994, during which you had been attacked by a dog that ate only pants and sleeves.  

and ... this.

And just when we thought our eyeballs were safe, here came Slutty Ghost of Christmas Past, Dressed for the Beach.  Just FYI ... regular clothes: they're a thing.

XOXO,

PPYKAG



Quotent Quotables
  • Ed: "All Asian food is healthy." The toxic emissions that permeate our home after one of us has consumed pork fried rice from "USA Chinese" beg to differ, Ed.
  • Chris: "I don't like bees ... if they sting me a few times, I could really be in trouble."  Being afraid of bees and being in danger of anaphylaxis are two different things, Chris.  If you get stabbed a few times by a crazed block party goer whose triggers include resort-wear interpretations of Charles Dickens characters, then you could also be in trouble.
  • On two different occasions, Ed mentioned he was making "pickled veg."  Has the word "vegetables" become SO ONEROUS?  Apparently, yes.  It totes has.
Miscellaneous
  • The winning Quickfire duo didn't get immunity, but did get "10,000 smackeroos from Healthy Choice."  To Grayson and Chris' great dismay, "smackeroos" turned out to be the new flavor of Cafe Steamers.  (Oh, please.  Pretend you don't know the difference between a Cafe Steamer and a Fresh Mixer.)
  • It took us a few minutes, but we finally realized that the "Healthy Choice Flavor Ambassador" was, in fact, former TC cheftestant Ryan Scott.  Why did Padma and Tom pretend like they'd never met him, and he was just one of the many frozen entree diplomats they encounter on a regular basis?
  • WTF is HughesNet, and why is Cindy from Lost its spokesperson?  Every time we see that commercial, we're freaked out it's some sort of mind experiment perpetrated on us by Charles Widmore or something.
For more Top Cheffery (and the secret to why Richard never ages), tune back into tomorrow for our Power Rankings.

  1. I'd bet Padma and Tom didn't realize Ryan Scott was a former cheftestant--hell, I still don't remember him. Every time I see those HC ads, I'm saying, "When the hell was HE on Top Chef?!"

    Also, whoever dresses Padma should be shot--and if Padma's choosing her own clothes, there should be an intervention.

  2. Hee hee....when I saw Padma's outfit, I screamed "Oh my God...she forgot to put her pants on!" And the white outfit looked like a baby romper gone bad.

    I think her fashion sense is really thrown off by the fact that they're in Texas. She can't figure out how to dress down there. Hey, at least the shirt is plaid, right!?

    :^)

  3. Padma, get thee to Project Runway, asap! It can't be any worse.

  4. Actually, Padma said "Hi, Ryan" when she approached the table where he was Flavor Ambassadoring his butt off. But with that outfit Padma was wearing, perhaps it was RYAN who was pretending not to know who SHE was...

  5. I will come to Padma's defense, at least on the white outfit - having survived the summer we had in Texas, she picked the outfit least likely to make her sweat on camera. It was unbearable here, and I was in Dallas, it was about 10 degrees hotter in SA.
