Top Chef New York Season 5
apskip:
You do not order specific dishes there. There is a 5 course prix fixe menu and a 7 course menu. In both cases, you eat what they want to showcase that evening. Each course is tiny so having 7 of them is not a problem. The entire table has to order 5 courses or 7, although there was variation in desserts served and my aunt cannot have any uncooked vegetables so those were left off her plate. We had a shellfish soup with spinach, tiny cups of squash soup with a single homemade potato chip, bread with homemade butter, cream cheese, and two vegetable powders, lamb, pork, 4 other vegetable courses and 2 desserts (one pineapple sherbet and the other apple sherbet with oatmeal crunch). The rich sauces have terrific flavor and there is a different one or more than one is on every course. I noted that yesterday James Barber won a 2009 James Beard award. He certainly has a restaurant dedicated to making the diners satisfied with the creativity and freshness of his cuisine.

Update on Top Chef S5 winner Hosea:
'Top Chef' partners with Lafayette food company
A Lafayette-based company that makes pestos, spreads, dips and tapenades has entered into a partnership with “Top Chef” Hosea Rosenberg, of Boulder, on a new product line, a recipe booklet and marketing efforts.
Tellory Inc., which produces the Ciolo and Piccolo brands, said Rosenberg also will make public appearances to demonstrate uses for Ciolo products at Whole Foods and for Piccolo at food stores throughout Colorado, New Jersey, New Mexico and New York City.
Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
Rosenberg, the executive chef of Jax Fish House, was selected as the winner of Bravo’s chef competition show, “Top Chef,” earlier this year.

Incase you haven't seen it Padma's new commercial:
Carl's Jr. Commercial - "Padma, Extended Version!"

It's a fine commercial, but I cannot imagine Padma really having Carl's Jr. burgers as a major part of her diet. I can imagine her ordering a $6 menu item, however.
