Are you a fat old hairy white chef? You sound like you know your stuff. I'm a mid-size almost-middle-aged almost-hairless white gal who's worked in about 12 NYC kitchens back in the day…expediting and front of house (NO LINE COOKING! Often very scary and frequently quite drunk chefs where I worked) - and you're…

Jesus, I don't even know what the "Super Fan Party" is…but I sure am upset that you didn't see Doug!! I'm hoping he was in the john.

Oh my god. Maybe…some sort of pork burger on an apple cider doughnut? But yeah, 13-year-olds sound about right. Unless you're Paula Deen.

Jeez, if I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about Aaron, I'd have to up my Ambien.

I did. :)

He'd almost fit on a plate!!!

Wasn't this her 2nd appearance this season? And did she have red hair last night?

Oh, god and gag. And their team was called Four Pigs. Gag and god.

I'm going to bet a whole lot of money that katsuji is one of the sloppiest drunks on the face of the earth.

Jesus Christ!!! How did they keep a story like that so quiet??? I guess TC scandals don't rate coverage from TMZ and Radaronline?

Yes, she was. She's got a decent set of gams and chef's clogs just wouldn't do. I mean, they're certainly not doing Mario batali any favors. Or Anne Burrell, for that matter.

Maybe they're teensy little savory versions of Paula Deen's Krispy Kreme hamburger buns.

Agreed. And I do love me a dry sense of humor. I hope she plays poker.

Completely missed that Adam had designated a podium guy, and yes. Very smart move. I was too busy rewinding so I could repeatedly watch Padma say, "I can't REMEMBER the last time I had to wait for a table!" I get that she was (hopefully) speaking in context of TC but still. She probably never DOES wait for a table…

And thank you for the 2nd "m". I'm always blown away by the countless times I've heard professional chefs actually say "cardamoN". Anne Burrell says it, for Pete's sake. Yes, I'm weird that way.

They're adorable and I want them!! Be on the lookout for josh and oona and Abby, a little 8-year-old brunette with glasses and a lisp and a very colorful wardrobe (reminiscent of Betsey Johnson and Raggedy Ann). What I love is their unfettered enthusiasm for each other; no snarky crap in this group.

I wish I knew what this meant.

I'd forgotten about that!! In the past the prizes for restaurant wars haven't been terribly thrilling, but didn't they typically give the winner a 75-pound coffee-table cookbook just published last week by the world-renowned guest judge? Or, failing that, a bottle of wine as tall as Dougie is?

As far as the shoes go, that's on KerriAnn. She acts as though she's never worked in a restaurant at all, much less running front of house, and she made it clear that during the two years she spent opening her restaurant she became equally acquainted with front and back. So why not a pair of pretty black pumps…

Ok, granted Mei is not exactly the life of the party and doesn't possess katsuji's rollicking personality. So when she said to the camera, "I wanted to take the exec chef role but everyone knows women are better at being line cooks…" With her face all Sphinx-y. I mean CLEARLY that was tongue in cheek. Yes, it was. …
