[quote name='pacifickarma']Anyone here watch Top Chef? I don't watch the show, but apparently Michael Midgley a.k.a. "Chef Mikey" from Top Chef now teaches the culinary arts class at the school where I work. Should I be impressed? The female teachers are all gaga over the guy, but I've never watched the show.[/QUOTE]
I watch Top Chef, and a) the culinary arts students at your school won't be learning shit, that guy has no REAL skill and b) gross, people think THAT'S hot?
Back on topic of HK, based solely on previews, it seems like Dave has the best chance right now, he was the only one Ramsay didn't yell at in the promo for the next episode. I think he's pretty good and I like him better than Kevin, but I think they're the ones to beat. I don't know what Tenille's deal is, if she can cook or not, and seems to be hit or miss (and she needs to learn the difference between indoor voice and outdoor voice). Suzanne...well, I think she's next. Truthfully, though, I have no idea if any of these people can create, coordinate, and cook their own menus, with one exception, they've only cooked what Ramsay says.
Dave needs to be a man with that wrist. I had the same injury, and cooking was no problem...and if it hurts as much as they're making it seem it does, there's NO FREAKING WAY IN HELL he'd be trying to grab pots/pans with that arm, as they've shown him do. By all appearances he's right-handed, they're making way too much drama out of that crap. Be a man, dude.
