In perhaps the the biggest surprise, Craft lost its one star.
Poor Colicchio!
And who is the chef at Per Se?
Love makes you do the wacky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Courtney is Day 37 skinny already. They better vote her off soon or she will seriously have to be airlifted out and fed through an IV.

airlifted out and fed through an IV
I read this first as "airlifed out through an IV." Which with her, might even be possible.
I never had any desire to eat at Craft. Part of the pleasure of eating out, for me, is that someone else has already done all the hard work of figuring out what goes with what, and putting it together in advance.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am enjoying a such schadenfreude watching a snotty New York waitress much skinnier than me die by starvation BY CHOICE! Suck it, wench! Courtney, Jean-Robert and, um, the Christian lady just booted seem remarkably ill-suited to this game, and it's pretty satisfying to see them fail.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, bless Bourdain. It totally cracks me up how many commenters are all up in arms about Hung's win and swearing that they'd never go to his restaurant because they go out to DINE for the FULL EXPERIENCE, and a head chef who was so arrogant and bossy and self-centered would just RUIN EVERYTHING.
Um, yeah. Because (a) of course everyone's visit to any restaurant ever always includes a lengthy observational stay in the kitchen to soak up the atmosphere, and (b) it's a well-established fact that food will actually curdle and go rancid in the hands of an asshole, which is why the universally recognized stereotypical chef is "Warm, fuzzy grandma/pa type, rosy-cheeked, temperate, and beloved by all, who frequently steps out the back door to hand-feed delicious morsels to timid woodland creatures."
