I'm kind of surprised that Nyesha had a bone to pick with Ty-Lor in the LCK clip.  Ty always struck me as one of the more even-keeled chefs on the show.  It seems like Nyesha is cooking with a chip on her shoulder, wanting to annihilate anyone in her way to getting back into the main competition.

This Last Chance Kitchen idea couldn't have come on a more perfect season, for a more deserving candidate.  Nyesha's dismissal was the most unfair one I've seen on Top Chef.  It had nothing to do with her own cooking ability, it was because her teammate fucked up.  This is a show I enjoy precisely because the cream…

Maybe the controversy you're remembering is for "Angel Heart", with Lisa Bonet getting freaky, fresh off The Cosby Show.

I tried out a couple of episodes of Stuff You Should Know because of the mentions in Podmass. The concept sounds good, like listening to a good segment of Fresh Air where you feel like you've learned something. Good lord, it's like both guys are playing Ben Stein's teacher character in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".…

I think you're thinking of "Wild Orchid 2: Two Shades of Blue".  Or "Zalman What'sHisFace Shows You Boobies Pressed Up Against Glass".

You had me until "Katherine Heigl".

I really enjoyed their first album, "O.P.P." and "Ghetto Bastard (Everything's Gonna Be Alright)" were great.  I don't think the subsequent albums had the same hunger or clarity.  I think the boys just got into too much weed after their initial success.

Notice they never show the contestant's faces when they're extolling the virtues of said product placement.  They are obviously recorded in post-production, and faces are removed so the eye-rolling isn't captured.

Yes.  I find them quite enjoyable, probably the best web-added content I've come across.  It's like getting an extra 7 minutes of Top Chef every week.

Rubbing vegans first with bacon gives their skin a nice, goose-bumpy texture, and of course adds a nice salty flavor to their delicious screams.

Close…Stephanie won Season 4 in Chicago (possibly my favorite season after All-Stars).  Season 3 was Hung's win.

They should have had the Voltaggio brothers driving it in, navigated there by the helpful LED screen on their Samsung Super Refrigerator.

I haven't been to the Salt Lick restaurant, but even the small outlet they have at the Austin airport was incredibly delicious.  I just do not expect such great food at airports.

"Grayson, Lindsay, do you mind if I…paint you?" - Chris

I fully expected Grayson and Lindsay to give Chris a happy threesome going-away party.  Those two couldn't stop flirting with that guy.

It hauled so much goddamn wood it, in fact, gave me wood.

SPOILERS cont'd

She couldn't have been 20-years old in Return of the Jedi.  That would have made her, like, 14 years old when Star Wars came out.  Unless I missed some sort of Game-of-Thrones, adolescent-princess vibe.

ACK!  No Top Chef tonight.  I am adrift in Wednesday's open water.

I can almost never turn the channel when I catch Frontline on.  It's not a program I've ever made a point to watch, but every time I land on it, the lack of commercials and compelling stories always suck me in.
