TC3

General impressions:
- Almost everyone there is a grown-up, and cooking is their day job. I have high hopes for the quality of the cooking this year. I do wish they'd spent more time talking about the food, though.
- Where's Ted? I was promised Ted.
- That dress Padma was in when she & Tom crashed the party was exactly perfect for her. Much better than the hoochie stuff they had her in last year. The outfit Tom was wearing later, though... a red v-neck under an aloha shirt is not a good look for him.
- They should have sent home the guy with the time-management problem. I think he dodged the bullet by being able to quote Bourdain back at Bourdain.
- Bourdain gives the fabulous prize of a bunch of his own books, and the promise of a drinking bout? Self-promoting bastard.
- The previews had way too much drama and not enough food porn. I want complicated dishes of expensive ingredients, lovingly described and droolingly photographed. I do not want to watch some New Yorker challenge the room to a dick-measuring contest.
