    Top Chef Season 5

    I have been a loyal, dedicated fan thru the first four seasons. Never missed an episode and watched many when they repeated. Here's how much this stinker of a season has grabbed me.....I forgot it was even on TV last night and didn't see it!!! :sad:

    I thought it could have potential when I heard about it but the judges seemed very uncomfortable, editing of the judge's coments was horrible, the little shot of the contestants awaiting the judgement ridiculous, and Ted Allen as host is a wooden stick. I'll watch it one more time but do not have high hopes for it. :sad:

    What a huge let down. Please...Alice Cooper and a hot dog to showcase cuisine in the state of Arizona? One brief stop in New Mexico (which may have been the highlight of the episode for me). Way too much time with Ted Nugent. Yet another TV show doing the 72oz steak eating contest in a Texas restaurant. And the Salton Sea - why? I was so excited for this episode considering the cuisine available in the Southwest and this is what we got. :angry:

    What's the best vanilla extract?

    If you want the best vanilla extract...make it yourself.  Spend some cash on some Tahitian or Madagascar Beans, a bottle of vodka, your choice, but I usually use Absolute or Kettel One.  Take six beans, split three and scrap out the seeds into the bottle add those beans.  Take the other three and just split them but dont scrap them and put in bottle.  In three days you will have some of the best extract you have ever tasted and when you break down the cost you are way ahead. 

    Let me know what you think ?

    What size bottle of vodka do you use Jon?

    Bravo's Top Chef Season 2

    The whole crap about testing the "range" of a Top Chef is ridiculous....cooking from vending machine ingredients....give me a break. Just put some quality ingredients in a basket and ask them to do the same thing. Can we please cook for someone other than kids? Is the prize being given your own TGIF franchise? Betty being given a pass proves the producers have a big say (just as they advertise in the disclaimer) who stays and who goes....you can't justify it given what happened with Otto. I really feel sorry for Tom as he is a Chef to look up to but this stuff lessens his credibility in my eyes when you're pretending this is actually a serious competition. :angry:
