Texting Top Chef: Vegetarians Crash Craftsteak

Rate: 10 Flag

leeks 

 

So is this the show now or is this a rerun?

Rerun.

When is the real show gonna come on?

Twenty minutes.

Oh.

Wow glad I ate first.

Yeah.

What did I miss?

They're making dinners based on TV shows.

Oh.

This one's doing Flintstones.  Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

Oh.  Gotcha.

That looks good.

Yeah.

I'd eat that one.

Yeah.   Ditto.

Gilligan's Island?

Yeah.

Italian sounds good.  The Sopranos one is gonna win.

Yeah.  Kevin is good.  He wins a lot.  Only 28.

Two of those guys are brothers.  They're pretty good, too.

See, it's Kevin.

Hey, Natalie Portman.  Did you ever see The Other Boleyn Girl movie?

Nope.

Good movie.

She's a vegetarian, and they're going to cook in a steak house?

Yep.  They're in Vegas.

Why the heck are they fighting over eggplant?  Can't they both cook eggplant?  

Leeks?  Argh.

See this Jennifer?  She started out pretty strong, but she's in the weeds the last couple of weeks, lost her nerve.

Anyway, the brothers are pretty good.  I think Kevin is gonna take this one.

What's with those leeks?

What color would you say that is?

What?

Natalie Portman's hair.  What color would you say that is?

Pretty color.

Banana polenta?

Actually, that sounds pretty good right now.  I need to find a vending machine. 

Best vegetarian dish I ever had was at Santacafe.  Chile relleno stuffed wtih quinoa.  Best.  Ever.

What's with thinking leeks are a protein?  He's too arrogant. 

I still think Kevin's gonna take this.  Looks like food.

No one on the show likes Robin.  She drives them crazy.  Talks too much.

(beat)

Anyway, she talks all the time, drives them crazy.  Is older than they are.  They want her to go home.

That one looks good.

Yeah.

Not much there though.

Yeah.

I'd eat that.

Yeah.

I think I'll go find a vending machine.

Is it commercial yet?

In a bit. 

Did you see that movie, The Other Boleyn Girl?

Nope.

It was good.

What color would you say her hair is?

Whose?

Natalie Portman's?

Great color. 

You mean, if they run out of time, they can't put their food on the plate?

That's right.

So she can't put those fresh garbanzo beans on?

That's right. 

So, what happens?

Someone will notice.  There'll be hell to pay.

I think Jennifer spilled a bunch of her sauce.  She looks nervous.

Yeah.   She's in the weeds.  So much for Eric Ripert.

Those brothers are good.

Yeah.   I think Kevin's gonna take it.

Is it commercial yet?

Almost.

I need to find a vending machine.  I can't take this.

I would so want a steak.  Kevin's is the only one that looks like a real meal. 

What'd you get?

Potato chips.

Where'd you find a vending machine?

Over by the swimming pool, down the hall.

Oh, sounds good.

Yeah.  I can't watch these food shows.  I get too hungry.

Yeah.

Did she say what I think she did?

Yeah.  Padma needs her mouth washed out with soap.   JK. 

So, those guys all did bad.

Yeah.

I'd get hungry if I ate that.

Yeah.  Not enough food on the plate.

Leek as a protein?  What was he thinking? 

Wasn't.

Who do you think is going home? 

I don't know.  Jennifer should have gone home last week, but they saved her.  Probably Mr. Leek.

Wow. 

Is it on again?

Yeah.

Are you watching it again?

Yeah.  Wanna see the quickfire again.

So, the guy went home?

Yeah.

Mr. Leek?

Yeah. 

Good show.  Made me hungry.

Yeah.

You wanna turn out the light, or you want me to?

I'll get it.

Night.

Night.

No, this is not Padma posing naked. It is also not a protein. . .
Interesting conversation.

If you got this far and want to see the obligatory naked Padma picture, it's here: Padma Lakshmi in obligatory naked pose
Very cute. See, this is the problem with liveblogging...it's basically me talking to myself. At least you got to have a conversation....

And now, I need to find a vending machine.... :)
Yesh, that's the way it went alright. I think everyone was left hungry. And what color was Natalie Portman's hair??
Liz, this is what happens when I'm sharing a hotel room with my baby sister, the texting queen and Top Chef virgin. At least this hotel had Bravo. And vending machines.
Charming synopsis. Yes, Padma really said that, and they kept the whole dialogue in. I'd guess it's Bourdain's influence.
Only reality show I can stand I'm bummed I missed what Padma said! Great fun! Thanks! R
I guess that just about captures communication these days - but now you have proof of the conversation!
Here's my obligatory nude photo...shoot...I can't get the thingie...the html isn't working or something. Well, you'll have to trust me - I look fabulous!

Apropos of practically nothing, I just rediscovered leeks a few weeks ago. They are delicious!
As a veg and a Top Chef fan who watched the show a day late...

Damn. They all sucked. Kevin was the only one who didn't deserve to lose. It ain't really that tough to cook for vegetarians, people. We're just like you, expect for not eating our animal friends.

Except for oysters. They are no friends of mine, and I will eat them without remorse.
You're so right, Frank. They all really blew that challenge.
lol i always wondered how well the critics cook
