It's a stupid reunion show, with a few people from each season.

Which, why is this already the second week with no competition? They could have showed this over the 4th of July!

Exactly!

That was pretty pointless, although it was nice to see Perilla.

Top Chef: I'm not sure why we got such a random reunion show at this point in the competition but it wasn't the trainwreck I was expecting. (Perhaps Bravo has learned their lesson from trainwrecks past and didn't provide a tongue loosening combination of alcohol and no food this time.)

I want to go to Perilla right now! It looks awesome.

Lee Anne gets prettier every time I see her. I want to know what her secret is.

But my favorite moment was when Tom said he suspected that Candice was probably cast for her looks because she was a first year culinary school and wasn't ready to compete with chefs like "Harold or Sam." It's like Ilan never won at all.

Speaking of Ilan, for someone who talked so much smack about Harold, he's still accomplished nothing other than having an entourage and bad fashion sense. Every time someone asks him what he's up to, there's never anything of substance to report. I wonder if it's his choice or if doors have been closed in his face.

Ilan is a douchebag. And I still love Sam.

I wish there had been more Lee Ann talking!

The quick-fire skit thing the night of the head shaving was hilarious.

I think those are the highlights from the conversation I just had about this with coworkers.

It just got a not-great review in the Times. [link]

Oh, I know!

He certainly didn't give a very good impression of himself on the show. And unlike Harold, he doesn't seem to have had a plan of what to do post-show.

Why am I watching this stupid Top Chef reunion thing now, and not tomorrow after a good night's sleep? Unclear. But I think it might have something to do with Sam.

Seriously. So much better with the shaved head. dag. Did they ever say, or do you know, what he's up to these days? Besides being a lady magnet?

And, in other shallow news, Lee Anne was also gorgeous! Really wish they had her on screen as a kind of Tim Gunn style mentor.

Colichio was cracking me up but why why why doesn't he wear socks??? So wrong.

And Ilan is totally useless and also with the no sock wearing.

I think that Dave and Sam both had restaurants in the works that fell through - so probably both of them are re-grouping.

Lee Ann totally lives a 15 minute walk from my house! Because I live right around the corner from Kaufman Astoria Studios!! [link] I need to remember to go lurk over there around lunch time when I'm home on weekdays. Not that celebrities probably go the deli, but you never know!

My coworker informed me that that's also where they were doing the Project Runway photo shoot that Keith stormed out of, so he totally ran by my house.

Right?? There's all kinds of cool shit going on around the corner from where I live, but mostly it happens while I'm at work.
