you saw the exact moment she really became the head chef, as she was talking to Hung.
Yeah, absolutely. When Hung was like, "Is that what he wants, or what YOU want, chef?" and she came back with "DO IT AGAIN!" That was awesome.
Also, I still love Harold, and think he must be pissed about how legit all the Quickfires have been this season -- no vending machine, no convenience store, etc.
Well, Frozen Food, ice cream mixers, - that's not all haute cuisine.
Not at all, but at least it's all based on real food!

Well, real product placement, anyway.
I still think CJ should have been booted.
I think that if, for example, Tre's salmon dish hadn't been the worst tasting thing in the history of Top Chef (Bourdain mentions that Ted Allen physically recoiled from it) - CJ would have gone. . .but he's on my list. Howie first, then CJ. Then. . . hmmmm. . . we'll see how Casey, Hung and the Brians do.

I wanted Brian booted. He didn't do anything. If he had made a dish (like say a cured salmon), Tre might have been saved.
To be perfectly honest, if that had been anybody but Tre, I would have been totally supportive of the boot. He was my baby, I wanted him to stay. I really thought that he could win it all. I hoped that his past strong work and his incredible potential would save him, but alas, no.
Somebody over at TWOP pointed out that Tre was doomed when Padma mentioned after he won the first ec that the first two seasons the winner of the first ec went on to win it all. And this will be the first time that the winner of the first ec doesn't go all the way.
oh, one thing that I forgot about Top Chef -- I really liked that they called Dale out of his tacky outfit. When you are the face of a restaurant, you do not dress like you're going to the mall. Even if you are trying to give the impression of a casual restaurant, there's casual, and casual. A button down and slacks is casual, but elegant. polo shirt and jeans is McDonalds, not even Applebees.
Shoot, even McDonald's has a uniform.
He also seemed to delight a bit too much to being a bitch behind scenes.
So sorry to see Tre go, but he knew he screwed up, both with his dishes and his team management. He can come make me cheesy grits anytime. And I have no idea if I like grits or not.
