Hiya kids! It’s me, J-Mo! I’ve been on hiatus all summer long, but now I’m back because we have a brand new season of Top Chef starting up, and this time we’re headed to rainy-ass Seattle (Padma better stock up on Frizz-Ease or she’s gonna have a giant ‘fro by the second episode). Once again, we are starting out with 76,251 chefs who will be broken up into four groups and mercilessly grilled (ha ha) by this season’s four main chef judges (or chefudges). Naturally Daddy Tom Colicchio is one of them, as well as returning fatboy Emeril LaGasse. Joining this season’s cast is the Teutonic Troll himself, Wolfgang Puck! Oh, and good old Hugh Acheson is back, too, along with that animated seagull graphic he keeps in the middle of his face….
my cat Chunky-Mo does not approve of Hughnibrow
Luckily for us, the Magical Elves realized what a huge fucking bore it was to have to sit through two full episodes of pre-finalists getting cut last season, so this time around we know who our final cast is going to be by the end of the first show. We have all your standard stock-types to laugh at, including: the Mousy White Girl, the Douchey Dickbag Dude, the Scrappy Asian Chick, the Overly Animated Gay Guy, the Complete And Utterly Annoying Bitch… and, of course, there is terrible hairstyling…
welcome to Top Chef 1912
I had no idea until this year that having a Snidely Whipstache was going to be all the rage… but if you watched this past summer’s season of Great Food Truck Race, you would have seen that my friend Bobaloo sported one of these boogersnotty stylings first. OH, and I think the show realized that having both of these guys giving us Turn Of The Century Realness was a little much, because only one of them makes it onto the real show. Check back in a few days for the full recap, and in the meantime, if you want to relive the glory of past seasons of Top Chef Recappage by such TVGasm luminaries as MisRed, Alejandra, LoLo, and Flipit then click here for a full five-pages worth (guaranteed to help you slack off at your job all afternoon).
Oh, and since everybody is jumping on the video bandwagon, I thought I’d post a little something to show you guys a little bit about what it’s like to recap a show… enjoy!
love, J-Mo

J-Mo!!!!
I’ve missed you so much! Soooooooo glad to have you back. I was thinking about you last night while watching and can’t wait to see what you have to say about the fresh crop of chefs, Puck’s baby talk, and of course the food.
Oh, and thanks for showing the peeps all the hard work that goes into recapping; so glad to see someone else’s process involves dancing, singing magnificently, and contemplating how many different ways there are to describe poop.
I love ya and can’t wait to read you again!
SWAK, PottyMouth
Ok, J-Mo I am officially in love with Chunky-Mo lol, looking forward to the full recap and to you doing this one.
J-MO!! I second Potty Mouth’s excitement to have you back (and am glad to see PM online…hope all is well after Sandy) but I take umbrage, UMBRAGE I SAY, at how you characterized recapping. A) My cat would scratch my face and arms to shreds if I tried to make her pose for a camera B) I’m more likely to snack on a cheese sammich and C) I actually conduct conversations with Billie and have learned that her fake voice inside my head is Shirley Hemphill’s from What’s Happening. Who knew.
But so glad TC is back and in its honor I ate at not one but two alums places, and hate to tell you J-Mo, but Ink Sack makes some of the best sandwiches of all time ever. Also, Susan Feniger is genius. Even the dish that got her canned from Masters was amazing.
So happy for a new Top Chef season, and freakin’ thrilled to see you back, J-Mo! Missed you bunches, love ya mean it!
Chunky for President 2016!
And where was Chica-Mo?
I hope we see more v-blogging from you, especially dancing in your underpants while you think of new words for poop! Just seeing you makes me smile!
By the way…nice legs, Mr. J-Mo.
Opened my computer this morning in hopes of a Top Cef mini-cap, and there it was! I’m so happy to see you back, I started dancing the Happy Dance and now people with white coats are in my office asking questions!!
Love me some J-Mo, so excited to have you back:)
that should have been: Top Chef, of course.
Yay kitty porn and J-Mo are back!
Yea J-Mo and TC are back! Loved the video – can’t wait for the masterpiece that’s on it’s way!
Hi Jo-Mo, I’m fairly new to your site.
I love Top Chef but was disappointed in the first episode. I didn’t like the way they went about choosing the chefs. I didn’t like the way the Biggies went about intiminating them and hell they would have scared the poop out of me. There has to be a better way of doing this. When you are vying for a post on a show you should be allowed to work the way you like to work and allowed to work the way you want without being criticized. There should be an impartial panel to judge. Looking forward to better episodes.
Yay yay yay yay yay!
YaaaaaaaaaqaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY.
Where did that q come from?
Where’s Chica??????
J-Mo!!! You’re back! I haven’t even watched the ep yet but was so happy to see your name I had to say yay!
J-Mo!! Welcome back!
Thanks for the video on the creative process of recapping – I always wondered what went into it and just how hard it was. Now we know! Let’s all remember this when we are waiting for the creative masterpieces to flow forth!
Chunky for President 2016!
Chica for First Lady 2016!
Can I tell you that (in my best Rachel Zoe voice) I LITERALLY almost died watching this? I inhaled my Fruity Pebbles when you started singing Vision of Love and I couldn’t breathe for like 30 minutes (seconds). Love youse!
J-Mo! How I’ve longed for your recaps! Stoked that you are back man!
J-Mo. You sir, are a GIANT HOOT! Can’t wait for more recaps and it was awesome to get to \know\ you better!
OMG! J-MO’s back! Squeeeeeeeeeee!
Do disrespect meant to the other ‘cappers but Mr. Mo is a legend. And, kitty porn to boot!
Can’t wait for the full ‘capping to commence!
Your demo had me in tears. Thanks for giving us a window into the the recappers world.
Give Chunky (and Chica) copious head pats.
(Did you catch the bears on Project Runway tonight, BTW?)
J-Mo and the kitties!!! YAY!!!!
Late to the par-Tay as usual, but so so so very excited about having TC, J-Mo and the kitty-Mos (not necessarily in that order) back in my life.
Squeeeeeeeee!
I never comment but I have to say that that was the best video I’ve ever seen in my life. lol
