He really did.
Man, this is a nail-biter.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
BTW, I *love* Kevin's mother. She seems like she would be fun to have a drink with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
AUGH!!! I'm glad Kevin had his mom there to tell him he done good.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Well, WAH. I mean, it's not Hosea/Ilan win, he deserves it, but I realllllllly wanted Kevin to win.

Me, too, Nora.
But I do think Michael is a really talented chef.

Yeah, absolutely.
I also loved Kevin's mother -- she is the model for many drag queens, apparently -- and thought he got BY FAR the short end of the knife draw. It was nice to hear the brothers saying nice things about Jesse and Ashley, at least, because I think they both came off as sucky on the show.

I wish that Kevin could have chosen his chefs among those standing. Even if you are choosing 3rd you wouldn't get ass choices like he got from the knife draw.

The knife draw was sucky. I don't remember them not being able to choose before.
The whole thing seemed rushed tonight somehow, too, but maybe that's just me. I did love that their moms were there. They both seemed awesome.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It was totally rushed. We barely saw any cooking!
Poor Kevin. It was his to lose, but Michael had a better night.

Art Crawl!!!
I wish that they had expanded this episode by 15 minutes.
I have friends who ate at Michael's restaurant last month. NOw they know they've had dinner at a Top Chef's restaurant. (They really enjoyed it. They had the tasting menu and were having fun trying to decide what each course was going to be based on the sommelier's description of how the wine paired with the dish.)
