Episode 2: What’s In Your Gumbo?

We return to swampy NOLA (official PYM decision!) for episode #2 of Top Chef 11. Who’s going home and who’s “fucking muy bueno” (to quote Tom)?

For the Quick Fire everybody has to make a gumbo that represents their history (roux + a bunch of stuff that isn’t gumbo-like at all). As an added benefit, nobody gets to sleep tonight!

In the Elimination Challenge, four haphazardly assigned teams each get a food truck. Who will win and who will go home? Is it Surf Truck, Taco Truck, South and Super South Truck or other truck you’re not going to remember (hint: not them)?

Episode #1: Top Chef Returns!

Top Chef is back, and we’re here to give you all the amateur insights and discussion you could possibly want. 19 cheftestants dive into the swamp and only three come up smelling like roses.

There’s no Quick Fire this week (because there are a bazillion chefs? That’s probably why.) so we spend most of our time discussing the new twists on the show (drama cam! shorter intro! everybody is hot!) and the elimination challenge which featured three traditional swamp proteins: frog legs, turtle, and alligator.
