Top Chef Recap: Gag Me With A Cruise


Oh well, the Praise Of StacheBear is not the only crime being committed here, because Stoner Sheldon’s dish is rapidly turning to shit before his very eyes. He says his food is totally uninspired, the tempura is turning out soggy again, and he’s well-aware that this is a crappy dish that could easily get him sent home just before reaching the Finale…

at least he was considerate enough to provide a barf-bucket

Daddy Tom praises the presentation, but Hughnibrow skips the bullshit and asks why these chefs continue to think serving tempura is a good idea, because this shit is soft and mushy all over again! Daddy Tom agrees, it’s cold, so it had to have sat around for at least 10 minutes before it got plated. Hugh does like the kimchi (which is a Scandinavian creation, I believe, since Stoner didn’t make any Asian food for this dish). John Suley the Cruise Chef says he’s not happy that the “dynamite sauce” that was served with the lobster tempura is anything but explosive. Hughnibrow continues the slaughter, saying he’s just not sure what Stoner was going for, this dish is too much like the Surf’N'Turf of the olden days, the two proteins are definitely not married to one another. Daddy Tom lamejokes that they aren’t even dating, and then the rest of the table proceeds to drive that line of humor right into the ground…

those proteins are about as sincere as my marriage to Salman Rushdie!

Poor Lizzie Borden, she’s still having trouble with the kitchen equipment not working properly for her, and as a result, she’s not sure if her cabbage leaves have been steamed long enough to wilt properly around her filling. She’s running out of time and eventually has to just go ahead and plate before they’ve actually been cooked through, getting the last steel tit plunked down just as the timer beeps…

Hughnibrow denudes the dish with a flourish…

Stone Fox says it looks like a beautifully fancy bit of dim sum (which Stoner could tell you is a dish that’s indigenous to Paraguay) but when anybody at the table tries to cut into the cabbage roll, it simply flies apart, Daddy complains it’s hard to eat and chewy. Stone Fox says Lizzie’s scallop is also overpowered by her pork (much like StacheBear’s was) but he says it was still really tasty, and Daddy Tom agrees, saying the pickled apples help bring the two together very well, so overall he’s really enjoying it. Or he hated it. I can’t really tell any more the way they edit this shit.

    A little correction, “Europeans (Outside Of, Like, France and [Italy]).”

    This season has felt really long. And none of the challenges have been exciting.

    I hope StacheBear gets kicked off next week. Does he seriously not hear the crap he spews? Just think there is one a woman out there who let him impregnate her multiple times.

    I don’t know if Lizzie can win, but I think she could sneak into st least the final 3. She really under the radar. I can’t remember most of the things she’s cooked.

    I’m actually very glad that the “second chance” chefs are all gone. I didn’t agree with them returning in the first place :-)

    Top Model or McBitchyson needs to win this thing.

    Overall this was a crappy episode – thanks to J-Mo for making it entertaining.

    Yay for the Alaska picture! (Queen-style, not state-style)

    I love that McBitchsyon called Sheldon out for only ever making Asian food. It’s about time someone hear my screams from my apartment! I love the, “I’m not!” “Bullshit!” exchange.

    When does Top Model get to come back into the competition? And is the Save a Chef real? Like does someone else also get voted back onto the show?! It’s like they are afraid they won’t get renewed so they’re just stretching it out as long as they can. I’d love to have Badma get left out in the tundra somewhere and left there. She didn’t always bother me this much, but she’s cranked it up several notches this season. I love Hughnibrow, can he be full time? He’s so blunt and honest, and I don’t feel like he plays favorites.

    Hi Chica! We missed you!

    Walking like a chef simply means you paid your dues to get your cushy job and bit the pillow . . . kidding . . .

    McBitchy seems to be the front runner in this grouping. Thumby was way overdue for departure. Stachy can kiss my assey, that is some real tired, cliched, sexist, homophobe bullshit he touted thinking he was funny. I don’t think you’re wrong about him, J-mo. How many times does he just bury the conversation in douchiness for the sake of being a douche!!!

    Would love to see an all girl finale, including the returning Top Model. Stoner and Stashy seem like two really weak choices, and are just lucky to have shined a few times on challenges they were suited too. Lizzy seems way more well rounded and experimental, as does McBitchy, so I’m crossing my fingers!!!

    Sorry I didn’t comment last week, was crazed here, but I had your recap to keep me company throughout and loved it like always!!! Mwah!!! You’re killing it with your photoshop stuff!!!

    Question for the male gender gasmi – what does it mean when a guy *coughthumbyheadcough* manages to mention on EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. that he’s not gay?

    Does it mean he’s not or he’s the opposite of not?

    @timgunnssister, it might mean he gets mistaken for gay a lot, so he needs to keep it perfectly clear that he is not. I know what you are implying, but I don’t think you can count on that.

    Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me.

    Thank God they extended the episode for an extra 15 minutes, I really needed an in-depth look at how chefs get manicures. And how homophobia is alive and well in the Midwest.

    Oh, and I apologize if this has been previously discussed, but WTF is UP with the wierd-pointy-crazy-ass-curly-q mustaches this year?

    Two auditioned (Stachey being the one chosen, obvs), and now we’ve got another one on PR!? I think its PR, anyway. Is this some new trend/competition/whatthefuckever I’ve not heard about? Although I must say I have grown to like our hairy little troll on Top Chef. He amuses the hell out of me.

    “and the Magical Elves to keep everyone else at least 10 feet away”

    I think that’s the stench of old man balls.

    “Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me”

    Awesome, crankyguy.

    I’m so not gay, I hated my penis so much that I got it changed a vagina… And then that looked weird, so I got boobs put in.

    Boy was my wife pissed. Not because of the change, but because I keep stretching out all of her clothes.

    Great recap, J-Mo!

    I’m thinking that StoneFox must have spent some time with Stoner Sheldon right before this epi was filmed. That would help explain his utter inability to form coherent sentences.

    @timgunnsister: You’ve got a good point about Stache’s gay denial. He does protest too much. If he is though, he would probably be an even lonelier person than as a straight guy. I can’t think of a single self-respecting gay guy that would appreciate his unfortunate combination of insecurity, inferiority complex, 1890s facial hair, pork product-themed T-shirts, hate for Oklahoma, and beady cartoon character eyes.

    Hey J-Mo!
    Just had to pop in here & tell you I’m reading through your ANTM recaps & LOVING them! I just watched your video from Miss Gay Phoenix and it was epic! Amazing recovery from the sound malfunction!
    Ok, off to read about the aftermath of MeeMaw throwing Homegirl to the wolves at judging!

    Aw shucks, you guys are so sweet! I bet if you put all of my recaps together in one, you’d have a Stephen King-sized book by now, LOLOLOLOL!

    And MadelineNYC, thanks so much, I’m glad you liked the video and that you’re enjoying my turn on ANTM… the sad thing is, one of my cats died right in the middle of that cycle (I literally had to stop working on an episode mid-recap at 2am to go take her to be put down) so I barely remember much about it at all… if the jokes are a little threadbare, you can chalk it up to that… ;)

    love, J-Mo :)

    Oh no! I’m so sorry! We’ll I’m past the halfway point and never noticed a drop in quality so you didn’t drop the recapping ball at all.
    My only big disagreement I have with you was that I’m team Allison/Anime-Eyes. LOL!
    I’m about to start on when they go overseas, just after poor recovering bulemic Jesus Freak got the boot from Tyra. Ah the Oprah-like sensitivity & philanthropy just oozes from her pores… No, wait, that’s bacon grease. :)

    @MadelineNYC: I doubt anyone is reading this thread anymore (except maybe poor J-Mo whom likely gets a notice or some shit about a new comment on an old recap that he thought was done/finished/gone/see ya bye, lol), but DAMN, girl…that was funny :-)

    They’re pretty hilarious! He was recapping just as Tyra was spinning further and further away from reality ( As opposed to now when she’s jumped the shark so far she actually landed on another planet. A planet where she’s a brilliant actress and the rivers are filled with BBQ sauce)

    I’m glad thumby is off the show but I am sticking to my stubborn resolve of really liking him. True I haven’t watched this season but I’m glad I still like him, unlike CJ who was one of my favorite until his fiasco here.
