Top Chef Chicago Season 4
apskip:
The preview of next week showed the renewal of Restaurant Wars. What was not said but TV Guide is on top of is that the war will be focused on breakfast only.

:sucks Something new!! Breakfast is a challenge that I will enjoy watching, especially to see the menu choices, decor and presentation.

There will be no recap this week for Episode 11. I had it all written out, but the RFF system ate my recap when I attempted to post it. I am not going to do it again. The winner of Restaurant Wars was Stephanie and the loser was Dale, who lost out in what must have been a close decision to Lisa who remains(probably for only one more episode before all her sins catch up with her). The winner of the Quickfire was Antonia.

ARGH! I don't blame you for not wanting to rewrite it. :ascared
I was disgusted with Lisa and Spike as well. I can't see either of them in the finals, I'm only sorry one of them will be in the final 4, I don't believe either one deserve to be there. I wondered if you thought Lisa sabotaged Dale. Her dishes received most of the bad comments, but she managed to turn it back (so it seemed) on Dale. I wonder if they chose Dale because he was the executive chef for this challenge, making him responsible for the fiasco.

Texas Lady, I said just that in the lost-forever recap. Lisa had bad performance on the Laksa soup and on the mango sticky rice. Dale contributed bananas to the sticky rice and made it worse, not better. Dale screwed up the butterscotch scallops. The mere thought of such a combination makes me shudder. It is no surprise that Bourdain thought it stunk as badly as Lisa's dishes. I think part of the problem was that the antipathy between Dale and Lisa motivated both of them to avoid the other because any interaction caused major friction. This meant that the teamwork normally present for a team was not there. Dale bore the brunt of the responsibility for that by being Executive Chef. He also created the culinary focus(Asian fusion) and had overall responsibliity for any food leaving the kitchen. I think that his ineptitude on several fronts was what caused his elimination even though there was plenty of negative performance from Lisa. For her what comes around goes around. Her reputation as surly, vindictive and nasty precedes her. None of the better chefs want to work with her and I will bet there is at least one more team elimination challenge coming.
