Yes, Carla's.
I am curious to sample her menu.

I don't take it as a challenge.
Tom is an accomplished and successful chef.
I don't respect him as a judge on TC because there have been many instances where (in my opinion) the lesser deserving chef has won or advanced based on his say so. At times, he is inconsistent in his judging in order to justify his choices.
I…

You are spot on.

I would have no problem with this if they changed the rules and made it clear that in the finale, they are being judged on a compendium of their performance all season as opposed to claiming that it is about how they cook that day and then in some instances, watch the judges turn themselves into pretzels to justify…

OK

I connect the laptop to the TV via an hdmi cable that's how I watch British TV.
You can try that way, or if you are still wired, On Demand by your provider (I know Directv has them) and finally I have seen some episodes of season 3 on YouTube.

I thought so, but I wanted confirmation from members here whose memories about TC are better than mine.

Ha ha ha.
I have considered going to her restaurant in Brooklyn, but then I would actually have to GO to Brooklyn.

Isn't it sweet irony that Carla's career has taken off in ways Casey can only dream of?
Must hunt her in her dreams.

Brooke may dismiss that just as Casey does.

Keep your eyes open next season and you will see the subtle ways it is done. He is the judge I respect the least and that says a lot considering I have none for Padma that he is below her in my opinion.

Question
When have we ever heard Tom do that before in defense of another chef?
I am not trying to validate my point about Brooke, I am genuinely curious because I was appalled at Tom's actions.
Even though I wondered where Blais was coming from.

I believe his illegal status experiences and think that treatment exacerbated the asshole in him.

Her comment this season that "she lost in the finale before the last dish was cooked" and the way aye said it, didn't sit well with me.
It shows that on that day, she wasn't the best chef.

I made that decision the day after the election and haven't looked back.

You hit the nail on why I am having trouble at this point with her being there. In my eyes, she had the bottom dish twice this season and was given a pass over less favoured chefs (Sylva).
I think ONLY Brooke thinks she was robbed…
Nina WAS definitely robbed and to my knowledge, hasn't whined about it.

I enjoy reading your opinion as I don't believe that everyone has to see things the same way or my way.
One of the things I've enjoyed about this particular space all season is that we can disagree with each other and our opinions and be civil and cordial while doing so.
I hope you are right about Sheldon's "winner…

Or it may just be where my mind is…..

Thanks for taking the time to comment in our little TC discussion home.

I wonder how he comes off this TC season will affect that.
Wasn't he married with two daughters? Or is the "announced relationship" restaurant related.
