As It Is Written, So Shall It Be
By Mitch Berg
Top Chef is falling right into place with my predictions: the supernaturally-arrogant (and, given his arrogance, the appropriately-named) Hung, the improbably cute Casey, the chick-eye-candy (I presume) Brian, and the wild card, the lovable, talented, gay Dale. Remember; my formula calls for three finalists; an arrogant but blazingly talented jagoff, a cute and talented woman, and a personable, talented, and often gay guy. Bingo – in advancing Brian and Dale, we got both. Bases covered. The formula is upheld. On to the finals!
As to predicting the winner – I’ll rely entirely on clues (inadvertent or otherwise) supplied by the producers earlier in the run.
Coming next week.
(And, for the record, Howie’s mushroom risotto recipe rocks my world, and I’m trying the unjustly-maligned asparagus and prosciutto phyllo cigars this weekend…)
Probably.
(Foot, by the way, gets the gestalt of the show pretty dead-on)

I don’t think that second link goes to where you think it goes…

Supernaturally arrogant, improbably cute, chick-eye-candy, even the lovable, talented gay guy, Dave in Pgh hates them all.
No kidding. If he happened to be driving down the street and saw the bunch of them scrapping in some kind of free-for-all on the sidewalk he would stop, get out of the car, give them each a knife, and tell them to carry on.
Because they’re foodies. And Dave in Pgh hates foodies.

We shoulda known that Sara was gonna get axed. Really, she’s spent far more time at the bottom than winning challenges. And…she ain’t cute at all…

Ah yes, Attack On the Killer Foodies (as opposed to “Attack of” the same). I wouldn’t demand that they all off themselves. In fact, I wouldn’t demand it of any of them.
I might challenge them to come up with a good low-sodium or no-sodium meal that’s rich in potassium — preferably using 100% cranberry juice as a key ingredient.
Foodies can be reformed!
