I like this show. I am an admitted Food Network junkie but I particularly like this show. Seduction was the theme of the episode. A little strange, yes, but free and playful enough to showcase the chefs' creativity and edginess. At this point in the competition none of the chefs are lacking for confidence. Its not just in their cooking either, the contestant seems to fall in love with every decision they make. Perhaps cockiness is the more appropriate word, and by the looks of it none of the chefs realized that the inevitable elimination put all of them in statistically uncomfortable territory. Two people are to be eliminated this week to put the competition back on track after last week's unexpected clemency.
Ultimately tough competition sent Chef Tio home and a botched lardo spelled doom for Chef Tsai. It was sad to see Chef Tsai go, but I still have one horse in this race in Chef Forgione. I expect Chef Forgione to win and emerge the next Iron Chef if for no other reason then from a production perspective, Chef Canora is just too similar to already Iron Chef Mario Batali. Fortunately, I won't have to wait too long to find out.
Episode Rating:
5 (Average quality TV)
Episode's Best Line:
"Chef Canora, you may have just spelled your own doom. Enjoy that." - Alton Brown (A snide SOB)
