I do not need to know whether someone had crabs either.
Speaking of Top Chef, my boyfriend and I and some friends had a fancy dinner the other day and we were served an amuse-bouche with lentil foam. I thought immediately of Marcel. Needless to say, lentil does not work as a foam. But the meal itself was top-notch. One of the best meals I have had since moving to NYC. The restaurant is "Dovetail" and the decor is late 80's Detroit-area Marriot conference room. But the food rocks.

I'm not loving this season as of yet. It typically takes me several weeks before there is a manageable enough group to learn all their names and such, though.
In former-contestant news, we go pretty regularly to CJ's gastropub in Santa Monica (season 3) and just found out yesterday that Jamie will be taking over the kitchen at a lounge we go to down the street in October (season 5). The winning Volt brother is leaving his current place in Pasadena and I think will be opening somewhere in downtown LA this fall. We have not eaten at his current place.
