So Hung won the coveted title of "Top Chef". And $100 grand to boot. I can't honestly say I'm surprised. Although he never did grow on me, he was the one with the best skills, which he'd demonstrated throughout the competition, albeit not consistently. I wanted Casey to win, but she kind of fell apart when push came to shove, and Dave, well, although he bucked up at the 11th hour, that was all he'd accomplished the entire season. Who else but Hung?It was an interesting situation though. Casey would have been the first woman to win and Dave would have been the first gay. Instead, Hung is the first non-white to win. I can't help but wonder if the producers didn't line things up this way.
I don't know about you, but the rosy glow of these Top-This and Top-That shows is wearing off. Let's just get back to Iron Chef America and watch the real chefs work their magic. Come to think of it, I'd like to see Bourdain in action. I love his show (No Reservations), but I've never seen him actually cook. Well, there was that fiasco in Tuscany, but that was Jaimie Oliver's fault. Wasn't it?
The only real entertainment I got from this season was reading Bourdain's summation of each show every Wednesday night. Let's hope next season is better.
Not a big deal, but it's Dale.. not Dave. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you here. Hung winning was not surprising to me either. Like I have said in the past, it's not his outright disregard for others, or his dickisness that turned me off, it was his lack of self accountabilty that made me want to puke.
Anyway, I do sincerly hope he, and all the others, do well in their futures. I think Casey will make it big anyway, and as for Dale, I think he learned a lot and really found his style. Good for him!
Dale, Dave... You know how bad I am with name, Vale.

Glad to see you here so soon!
I agree about Dale. I think he walked away with a renewed passion for food and for his art. In my book that certainly makes him a winner.
ReplyDeleteLOL Berg!! I mean Breve. Hey that kinda makes sense.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I gotta get off these drugs.
