Top Chef

Is it just me or have the Top Chef challenges just gotten more and more ridiculous? They have had to create restaurants in the space of a twenty-four hours, invent desserts for the rubber fetish set, and this week they were given sixteen hours to plan, create and serve a wedding reception for one hundred guests (as an aside, who the hell puts their wedding reception in the hands of people desperate enough to go on a reality show? Though the snippets of the ceremony they showed were lovely.) in sixteen hours with no access to the kinds of specialty shops that such events normally depend upon.
I fully expect their last challenge to be something along the lines of “President Bush is going to host a state dinner for the President of Russia. You need to design and cook a twelve course meal ft for the White House table. The dinner is in six hours. Since we are in San Francisco, and Washington D.C. is a five hour flight, you will have to use only the food that you can find in the kitchen of your Southwest Airlines flight and be prepared to serve the food the moment you step off the plane. the winner will be Top Chef. the loser will go to Guantanamo Bay.”
Just to add insult to injury, the judges sat around and complained that the menu — decided upon before the time parameters were known — was too ambitious and that the people who had to work sixteen straight hours without proper ingredients or supplies didn’t produce the same quality food as they professional caterer. This show seems designed more to create bitchy television than run an actual competition.
How come all the judges are oooing and ooohhhhing over Tifany’s food. She worked for Todd English for all these years and that is his food she id stealing.
