if anyone is reading this: the chicago athletic association and cindy's rooftop are absolutely DIVINE dining experiences, (especially on a clear summer night on the rooftop). let's go kaleena!!!!
I absolutely love Padma. I always will. But if I'd had a say in her replacement, Kristen WOULD have been on my short list. I liked Katie Lee (maybe because I have always loved her then-husband) but she seemed like a typical cheerful TV host. Padma brought a whole depth of understanding and awareness, especially respect for food and the art of cooking. She took it seriously & the audience could feel her personal investment in what was happening. You knew she wasn't just reading a script & clicking out. I'm really looking forward to what Kristen brings. She's a skilled & experienced chef who's been on the other side. She's a likeable, intelligent, strong woman who happens to be stunning (something all the hosts seem to have in common). I'm glad they wanted her & she wanted to do it. I hope she sticks around a few years & makes it her own.
I've watched every Top Chef beginning when Katie Lee hosted the first season. My criticism about these cooking competitions is that no pro teaches the newbies that sweating into the food, touching your faces/hair and blowing on food is unsanitary. My guess is that they haven't been taught either.
This is the first time in 10 years I have been VERY disappointed in Top Chef. The contestants, the challenges, the judging..it's like they all just gave up to push another season through. I really hope I am wrong with the rest of the season. :(
I’ve been watching top chef for 21 seasons and have rewatched multiple seasons. I feel you are falling into the trap of recency bias and are just spoiled from the strong pedigree of chefs in the recent seasons. I agree the chefs aren’t as strong and some of the changes they are making seem off. But had they done nothing there would probably been the same amount of haters complaining on how the show feels old and stale. This is a great show, the contestants sacrificed and worked hard to be there and we will all keep watching this show season after season because it is the best cooking competition on tv. The seasons always gets better around restaurants wars when you are left with stiffer competition.
@@iangoldstein My guess in the lack of Judges' Table this week is that maybe they had to leave the location at a certain time and ran out of time to film Judge's Table. It's common for locations to have times written into contracts that they have to be out, and I wonder if they ran into that since it didn't make a ton of sense to not have one, even if it was obvious which team was the worst.
No love lost between Alisha and Kaleena… Alisha didn’t even want Kaleena touching her at the end
I knew she didn't like her when she told Kaleena she didn't like Geminis and despite Kaleena telling her she's a Gemini she kept shitting on them.

Who already knew that Soo wouldn’t be eliminated?
Alicia calling Soo "new". He already won twice! Step back
He hasn’t won. This guy is new. Your mistaking him the judge who won twice
@@chattiepattie Has he not won twice in last chance kitchen ?
Sorry, I misunderstood. What you said. Yes won twive lck. I thought you meant judge who won top chef twice. Brain fog day.
I hope either Kaleena or Soo wins this
Asian hate, damn.
As never make that Cucumber water again just one note not thinking out of the box. 😮
I knew aliesha was pit cause her dish was the only one who had a real issue in it
Yeahhh Kaleena!!!
anyone here has the links for the first 2 Last Chance Kitchen? I've been running around looking for them!
Bravo TV website has all of them
Look below on TH-cam
They are not available for me to play in Canada.
It should have been kenny vs valentine in the first LCK. ijs
both would've lost to Soo by now, no loss
Nah it’s as great as ever
She came out SWINGING PHEW

Who eats the second dish? They always make two plates
One is for tasting and the other is used for photographs.
@@hiveimperious thank you

Certainly, not even bothering to do judges' table speaks to a certain fatigue in the series

this was how regular top chef was, you're just spoiled from multiple all star seasons recently.
@@somemale That is a very good point. I hope you are right.
