Top Chef Masters Ep. 9

Original Air Date: August 12, 2009


1) CJ = tall. Dale = obnoxious douche.
2) Wow, none of the chefs even came close to getting 50% in the blindfold taste test. I can't believe Anita Lo missed hoisin sauce!
3) Michael Chiarello has a serious Mr. Hyde in him. Who would have guessed he's such a drill sergeant in the kitchen?
4) Hubert really shone this ep. His multitude of dishes completely eclipsed his competitors' offerings, Anita in particular. I only wish the show had spent more time on the food preparation stage. Hubert was also very open-minded and warm with his sous-chefs. And he was rewarded with the first 15-star sweep of the critics! I wonder if he'd be available to cater my wedding...
5) Some fashion critique. What was up with James Oseland's weird jacket with those giant brown satin lapels? Loved Kelly's dress with the appliqué swirls (reminded me of fire-breathing Asian dragons) - but only from the waist up. It would have made a better blouse.
