I'm just glad that blonde witch who made it to the final three did
not get it. I cannot remember her name, but I could not stand her.
I am glad the girl won as I thought she was most deserving.

And what about Jen and Matty during the final show? Jen still thinks
she is the best and should have won. Matty is still nuts, but he
was a lot of fun on the show. I haven't had so much fun disliking
someone since season one with the fat guy Gordon called Butterball.

Now we can enjoy Ktichen Nightmares soon.

As much as you (and others, I suspect) didn't like Corey, her efforts
helped Christina during the final challenge.

That was one of the more interesting things. Corey and Christina didn't
get along at all through much of the show, then sort of became buddies
near the end. I guess being the in the last three girls with Jen will
do that for you!

I will give Corey that much. During the final meal, she did seem to
really try and help Christina.

I wonder if Jen purposely tried to screw things up?

Yay, Christina. The St. Louis (Maplewood) contestant won. I
was pretty sure she was going to, after Ramsay picked her for
the finals even with a weak performance in the "three chefs"
competition. I really didn't think a middle-aged caterer was
likely to win.

I was so happy when she won. She had the most potental of them
all, IMO.

This was probably the worst slate of contestants since the
show started, especially on the men's side.

Yes. The variety was interesting. Though I would have rather seen
more 'real' qualified contestants.


Brian


Do you watch Top Chef and if so, your thoughts on the caliber of
contestants they have as opposed to those on Hell's Kitchen?

I, personally, think the better "potential" chefs are on Top Chef, but
Hell's Kitchen is so much fun to watch. I really like both shows.

I think she is was so absorbed with stewing over the fact it wasn't her
in the finals that she wasn't able to concentrate on the task at hand.
Besides, teamwork was never her forte, so actually working together to
help someone else win is not something that would come naturally to her.

USA all the way.

OK, Sandi... I took a shot (and missed). Thanks for being a
good sport about it. Hopefully if/when she returns she'll
amend her sig line to note she's not in Honduras anymore so
I'll know who she is.

Welcome to rfc, hope I didn't scare you away.

Thank for the welcome. I've been here awhile.
Guess I got lost in the crowd. LOL

Nah, she can do it naturally.

IMO, it is a big mistake to intentionally screw up as millions of people,
including potential employers, are watching. I imagine even the losers get
some publicity and possibly job offers if they are good. Showing you are a
vengeful bitch is not good marketing.

....and then she had the gall to ask Ramsay for a letter of recommendation! I
wonder what she got.

ObFood: Got this in my e-mail today; I'm on the Quady e-mail list:

Tree Fruits and Sour Cream with Quady Essensia

2 lbs. mixed ripe local tree fruits, sliced into thick wedges
(examples: nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums and cherries)
1/2 cup Essensia (Orange Muscat Dessert Wine)
1 cup sour cream
2 Tbs light brown sugar
Mint leaves to garnish

Place the sliced fruits in a mixing bowl and add the Essensia. Gently
stir to coat.

Let the fruit stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Meanwhile, combine the sour cream and brown sugar, set aside.

Serve the fruit in small bowls or sorbet glasses, top off with a
dollop of the sour cream mixture and a glass of Essensia.

At room temperature the flavors of perfectly ripe fruits is something
not to miss and this recipe couldn't be easier.

BOB'S NOTE: I'm thinking this might be even better with strawberries, when
their fall season hits. As a springtime dessert earlier this year I had
strawberries with Moscato d'Asti, and it was very well-received. I'm not a
fan of the summer strawberries around here, so I'll wait until the fall crop
hits.

Actually, I've seen you... but I finally asked for "Sandi"
clarification. Anyway, welcome (however belated) to the fray.

I forgot about that! He seemed incredulous. I thought she had some nerve.
IIRC he didn't actually answer her, at least not in the aired footage.
