Top Chef, Season 5: Le Bernardin
something smells fishy … it’s the latest episode of “top chef”! with just six cheftestants left, the heat is on. eric ripert lovers kelly federico and genevieve marshall argue.
KFEDERICO: I loved both the Quickfire and the elimination challenge. Throw in a little Eric Ripert and it was a good night. I also had no idea Germans were so adept at filleting eels. You learn something new everyday.
GMARSHALL: I didn’t realize Germans even liked eels. I didn’t realize a chef of Ripert’s stature could be so freakin NICE! Come on, the man is nice.
KFEDERICO: I worship at the altar of Ripert. I was trying to figure out in Germany where there were so MANY eels that is an apparent requisite for citizenship. I felt bad for everyone during the sardine filleting. Next up: chiffonade thyme leaves.
GMARSHALL: With a teeny, tiny knife. I feel like Leah dialed it in, just as she has for the past couple of episodes. Apparently making out with Hosea is her kryptonite.
KFEDERICO: She needs to take off her Debbie Downer pants. But she has to make out with him, he’s the only American male remaining.
GMARSHALL: As Hosea so deftly pointed out this week. Leah shoulda been gone. She shrugged at the fish in the Quickfire. She messed up in the elimination challenge. At least Jamie fought. She might have mouthed off about your beloved’s restaurant, but she fought.
KFEDERICO: I had a bad feeling when she said that. I agreed, Leah should have gotten the boot. Leah’s mopey faces were killing me.
GMARSHALL: Waaa waaaaah. (Is that how you make the Debbie Downer noise in print?) Seriously. Jamie didn’t deserve to go. She reduced some celery too much and it became salty. She knew it. She acknowledged it. I hate celery. I wouldn’t care if she torched mine.
KFEDERICO: She should have left it off the plate. I think that decision would have saved her.
GMARSHALL: Yes, if she said, “The celery was over-salted so I left it off.” Maybe she would have lasted another week. But pinch me, did Toby stop talking? I don’t remember any assinine comments from him this week.
KFEDERICO: Shudder: PABLO ESCOLAR. That made me stabby. To quote Carla: GAILLLLLL!
GMARSHALL: Oh dang, I missed that pun. Must have been the cough syrup haze I was in last night.
KFEDERICO: It was a blessing, my friend. Toby is dead to me. Tom clearly can’t stand him and he makes me uncomfortable. And not in a good “Toddlers and Tiaras” kind of way.
GMARSHALL: Toby is no pretty little princess, that’s for sure. I was slightly shocked during the gang’s luxurious dinner at Le Bernardin that some of them (Stefan) thought they were there solely for enjoyment, not to duplicate the master’s dishes. Turns out it didn’t hurt Stefan in any way. He’s made of teflon.
KFEDERICO: He did have a fantastically clueless look on his face.
