POSTS TAGGED: curtis stone

I would have been constantly humming the tune of “My Heart Will Go On”…

I can say one thing for Chris.. he’s got guts.  Literally. And then there were 2. We are finally here at the Finale of Top Chef Masters. I can’t believe I won’t be stalking pictures of Curtis Stone anymore… well, at least until next season. Tomorrow I can stop sucking in my gut The Chefs [...]

  My prayer for the day: Please, my dear Lord (and by “my Lord” I mean Satan), please, please, let today be the day when Lorena gets kicked to the curb. If you are as powerful as you say you are SATAN, you will make this happen!!!!!!!!!  Thank God this sh*t is almost over.  Even [...]

The Beast that killed Takashi Welcome to the 10th Circle of Hell Last week Lorena the Horena won- unbelievably, in my opinion and my favorite little pocket chef was sent packing. Good vs Evil I am still mourning the loss of Takashi but here we are, nearing the end, at episode 8. We have whittled [...]

Takashi Manero Last week, Art sashayed out the door and back to the land of Biscuits, Oprah and Lady Gaga’s collapsing cake.  Unfortunately, we are still left with his annoying BFF, Lorena.  There are five Chefs remaining, well, six if you count Patty’s mole.  Patricia, Lorrrrrrrrrrrrrena, Takashi, Chris and Kerry.  Putting it out there, this [...]

I’m sorry for the delay guys.  My sister in law was visiting from England for 10 days… I barely survived. Awww, I just remembered that Thierry is gone.  ☹  Oh look, there’s Curtis, I’m over it.   Hot Stuff Comin’ Through Curtis is in the kitchen welcoming the Chefs to their Quick Fire Challenge.  In [...]

I just gouged my own eyes out Ok, so Simple Jack is gone. I’m sorry, I’ve been wanting to call Clark “Simple Jack” since Ep 1. He just LOOKS like the Ben Stiller character with that ridonkulous bowl haircut. Sadly, he wandered away from the edge of the Grand Canyon and was eaten by a [...]

Welcome to the Episode 4!    Last week Mark Gaier was sent packing for his lackluster scallops cooled Teppanyaki style.  He left his partner Clark behind.  And Art won lasts week’s elimination challenge, gaining ultimate redemption for cake-gate 2012. Feast your eyes on this… Speaking of cake- beautiful cupcake Curtis Stone is already in the kitchen [...]

Season 4, episode 3 already!  Time flies.  Last week we saw the glorious win of Patricia and her mole for sweeping the critics and wedding guests off of their feet and Debbie Gold was shuffled out the door.  And Honey Bear Smith dodged a bullet for his caketastrophe. In case you forgot Art’s dizzzzzaster Mr. [...]

 The Chefs come into the Kitchen and Curtis Stone (Cold Fox or SCF, as I am abbreviating) is there, which is never a good sign. SCF announces that there will no QuickFire Challenge today, they are going straight into the Elimination Challenge. SCF also announces two guests: Christine and Jay. Hottie and the Bride and [...]

Curtis Stone(ColdFox) is back as the host.  I’m warning you, I have a major thing for this dude.  I really want him to wrestle a croc or throw some shrimp on the barbi. Sorry, bad Australian stereotypes. James Oseland and Ruth Reichl are back as judges. We are in Sin City and quickly see that gambling [...]

Thai Lady Gaga Flash Mob – It’s 2009 all over again!  Ah, Thailand. Where exotic spices flavor the air (or is that the Thai stick?), ladyboys populate the backrooms, and the coconut water flows like, well, water. And where comeuppance is a dish best served cold – or hot for that matter. Who the hell [...]

  Paddy cake, paddy cake…  Well, it happened kids! Finally! And it almost didn’t happen (I’m looking at you, Nicole…)! SPOILER ALERT! Ding dong, the witch is dead! Jenna was retired in Thailand. God, Jenna made me tired. Do we really think she just got the bitch edit or was she really, you know, a [...]

Last week Gary went home. Boo. We liked Gary. Unfortunately the actual weak link of the team (starts with a L and rhymes with LIZ!) had immunity, so it was Ciao to our funny, happy guy. We begin in Florence where the teams find their newest clue. The teams shall remain the same. Neither Jenna [...]

Nookie is sad he never learned any Italian Hello Platers! This week is all about Parmigiano-Reggiano, tortellini, and Bologna (the place, not the Oscar Meyer’s). The teams stay the same for this next leg, much to the chagrin of Jenna and Liz. In fact on the car trip to Modena, Jenna berates Liz so completely [...]

Does it seem to you that Curtis tries not to blink to show off his blue eyes? @janeandblanche

Love. Her. Ribollita! Ricotta (non)cheese! Bacci ball! Cat’s crazy backteased hair! You guessed it, Gasmii, we are in Italy! The reshuffled teams board the plane to Florence and are sent on the chase for the E.I. Zany stereotypical American tourist running around ensues.  American reality shows making the US of A proud for over a [...]

This is my favorite Moroccon Mix!  First of all, I owe EVERYONE an apology.  I misspoke concerning last week’s episode in the comments.  I called a commenter a bad word.  I am sorry for that.  We recappers work pretty hard to get these stories out to you and sometimes we take things a little too [...]

When I hear Morocco, I think of this… Gary pulls out his French and so does Jenna!  (ugh, I know)… You guys, PLEASE let me know who you like – in the comments – I mean, I don’t really care one way or another  - yeah right… God, I hate Chaz… Full recap in the [...]

Something smells fishy… The jokes write themselves, folks!    Song starts at 1:20… Wow, I just used a reference to a Sondheim song for my recap of a cooking show on Bravo. Doesn’t get much gayer than that, kids. Sorry for the delay, you guys, but I made it before show day!  Hope you guys [...]

Cat – where do you keep disappearing to? I’m now convinced that Bravo reads TVGasm. (Hi Andy!) My main complaint last week was that none of these people were very likable – and sure enough, this week I started liking a couple of them! (Hi Nicole! Hi Avery and her cute daughters! Hi Nick!) On [...]

Do we like any of these people?

  Just keep your mouth shut next time, Jenna After last week’s education in the finer points of English gastropub delights, the show classes things up significantly by traveling to Lyon, France to explore its particular type of cuisine. The two teams are tested on their knowledge of cheeses, wines, and the finer points of [...]

OK, you guys. Ready to go around the world? In 80 plates? Does that title make any sense whatsoever? Firstly, let’s discuss the ridiculous amount of cooking shows on the boob tube right now. Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, Iron Chef (original and America), Chopped, Food Network Star, Rachel Ray (all 10 of her shows), [...]

So The Amazing Race meets Top Chef on ‘roids?

I am so hungry now!

Finale!

Or pack your knives and go!

At long last, Gasmii, at long last.  The only thing that could make me feel better about Hughnibrow’s railroading would be an immediate Naomi elimination the following week, and it was delivered!  Just like my eyes and ears from having to endure her further! The Quickfire Challenge was blind cooking pairings, which, while as ultimately [...]

Pointless experiments. Pfft.

Minicap of last night’s “Top Chef Masters”!

If you got a gimmick…

Sooooo, a Top Chef Master must be able to cook really, REALLY quickly, and also do so on a… moving tour bus.  Come on, Guys.  Couldn’t have made it a food truck or something else mildly relevant?  Of course not! The Quickfire is reminiscent of the SpeedFire of last season’s in which Colicchio prepared something [...]

Fast food time!

Suvir saves us all from the countrywide pandemic of meat dependence. It is exactly as crazy as it sounds.

Naomi takes another power trip.

Also, Restaurant Wars!!!!

We finally get to see which of the Lesser Of Two Evils is victorious!

One team; One mission–to make this season longer.

New shows, old shows…
