You are definitely not alone with respect to those subtitles. I had no trouble understanding him or anyone else. If anybody needs subtitles at times it's Padma, so they can tell us what she really meant when she says something bizarre. If "culinary eloquence" is any indication, it's going to be quite a season. Hey, take a number, get in line for Chef Tom! I'm ahead of you and I think the gay guy who called him a cutie might be too. But we'll share. What are friends for, anyway? :) Thanks for the sweet words and I'm glad (not a product placement) you enjoyed it. Hi, sage! You are definitely not alone with respect to those subtitles.

I have fun writing these things, obviously, and I might not do a recap every week but I was in a silly mood last night. Maybe some of the cookie cutter dishes were the result of nerves. I'd be paralyzed with fear, although I don't think I'd wait for any spirit guides to inspire me, as the caterer did. I was so close to dozing off while they were cooking that I actually had to stand up. And so I know that I waited in vain for Chef to make his sniff 'n' sneer visit to the kitchen. Maybe he can't keep them all straight yet either. Wasn't Jean-Georges adorable when he said "mooshy"? I am extremely fortunate to have eaten at his eponymous restaurant and it bordered on orgasmic. That was back in the days when people still had money.... Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you got a kick out of it, Word!

I'm not even going to watch! I'll read your recaps and be way more entertained. Oy ~ this episode was way too herky jerky with arrivals, locations, challenges, eliminations, subtitles (Seriously? Am I the only one that finds subtitles on <i>English</i> dialog exceedingly condescending?), talking heads, and the return of the Giant Glad Wrap. I needed a little lie-down. @ Chef Salt and Pepper Colicchio Ohhhhhh! I want a set of those shakers! LOL ella! :) The deal is sealed. I’m not even going to watch!
