Leah Cracks

Ahh the incredible edible egg - such a simple, perfect food. And one that Leah couldn't get right. Caio Leah. Last night's Top Chef may have been the only true challenge of the season. It's simplicity was deceiving. While the chef's were told what to cook and the dishes were seemingly rather mundane, the idea of boiling water for a legend like Jacques Pepin, let alone cooking a squab, would make me pee myself.


Stafan's cockiness outdid him - he was almost done in by overdone salmon. Hosea did just ok again to squeak into the semi-finals. Fabio's chicken made the night despite nearly losing a finger in the process - those Italians are so dramatic. I still think that the one to watch is Carla. She doesn't overcomplicate food, but still has imagination (green eggs). She cooks really well and has gained a confidence that will continue to serve her well in the finals. Go Carla!
