Casey comments on her experience as sous chef for Carla.
Casey Thompson Speaks Out About Top Chef

"Casey speaks! And she doesn’t sound happy, folks. I asked her to comment on last night’s episode, and here’s what she had to say:
Carla was not prepared and in over her head. The show did not talk about how the first course (crab) took her half of the friggin’ cooking time that day, I was left to work the rest of HER dishes.
She also did not have a plan. The ONLY thing she had in mind was a cheese course! I would NEVER do a cheese course. And where in the hell did french come from!? She is not even classically trained! It (the show) didn’t talk about how I worked on a sauce for 2 days and Carla forgot to put it on the plate… It didn’t show how the 2nd course (fish) was MINE. It didn’t show how she took the sous vide idea and decided to GRILL it last minute causing it to be tough… And it didn’t show how she WANTED to do the souffles which she does not even know how to make! That was HER food, because it certainly was me asking her how she wanted to do this and that while she was busy picking crab the entire time and making a souffle that didn’t rise!
I am done with TC. I did not influence her. She has NO ideas of her own, oh, except a cheese course.
Wow."

Hi, fellow foodies/TV watchers. First post here...
There is a short article in today's Washington Post about how Carla's catering (?)business has taken off despite the bad economy. And Carla being Carla, she spoke of how grateful she was that the Top Chef exposure allowed this to happen, and how sad she is for her colleagues in the business who are facing hard times.
As for Casey's comments, Casey is prickly but probably right at the heart of it. In a kinder interpretation, I suspect Carla's nerves got the best of her, causing her to rely on Casey too much. Carla strikes me as one of those chefs who would benefit greatly from more time to think and plan and experiment (they all would, but her especially IMO). Under those circumstances, she did an amazing job on this show.
Overall, though, I thought this was a weak season.
