Are the F-Bombs really necssary? I mean come on. I'm not trying to be a prude, but just because you know how to cuss, doesnt mean that you are a TOP CHEF! These guys need to show some professionalism, not all chefs talk like truck drivers.

I'd place Erik a little higher up on the list. I got a feeling he'll be a force later on. Besides, never ask a cook to do a pastry chef's job.

"ras al ghanoush" is incorrect. It's called Ras El Hanout, and you can get some at The Spice House on Wells near North Ave. It's interesting stuff - the closest thing I can think of is maybe a curry power or Garam Masala.

So you really thought she made a favorable start in the pizza challenge? Really?

it seems an inordinate amount of contestants on this show (or perhaps chefs in general), have that out-dated fauxhawk hairstyle. that was a bad look when it was popular 5 years ago, much less now

I think you mean Stephanie got off to an inauspicious start, Chuck...
