“Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could.
So somewhere in my youth, or childhood, I must have done something good.”*
For those who join in for Top Chef Masters blogging, I bring you search strings from the past week. Rick Bayless vouches for him as a person, but someone’s got to tell him to turn the ass-o-meter down a few clicks.
Mike: Rehabilitation. Fire your people. Think about it. The numbers speak for themselves
- Michael Chiarello asshole (18 people!)

This is ONE WEEK. Extrapolate from that, and quiver before the tsunami of loathing.
(And because I know you’re all wondering: Yes, there have been “Tyler Florence douchebag” searches.)
*Song courtesy of “The Sound of Music.” I love that damn movie.

On some other blog I read someone mentioned that he was justified in asking them his name because then then would know which ‘genre’ he cooked in. OH, REALLY? Because then I wondered what, exactly, one should expect from a ‘Bayless’ or a ‘Smith’ by that reasoning.
I wish I could join in on the liveblogging, but alas, I have no laptop. I am stupidly excited for tonight. As for the family, let them eat cereal! (OK, not really, some hybrid sort of asian noodle/ramen salad will be prepared.)
Oh Ricky you’re so fine
You’re so fine you blow my mind
Hey Ricky
Hey Ricky!
Ahem. I love the SoM too.
I actually kind of liked him until I saw him on this show. Last week was the worst. What a dick.
Oh, how I love Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer and The Sound of Music and Top Chef and people’s searches. And that’s all.
I agree it was a dick move to ask them how to say his name, but I have a hard time believing that none of those chefs have ever heard of CHIanti wine. I was somewhat insulted on behalf of Italians everywhere, even though I’m not at all Italian.
(I love the Sound of Music too. I was crushed that this year Ann Arbor had an outdoor showing with a singalong (!) after I moved. Apparently right before the yodeling puppet show, the power went out, resulting in the large inflatable screen deflating and thus ending the singalong. Hilarious yet tragic, no?)
Ha! I totally just quoted that song in a blog post recently too. My favorite movie of all time. And, this post is hilarious.
yeah, he’s a jerk! but I also think TC edited it to stir up controversy and making him look worse. like the close up shots of him when it looks like the others might beat his score.
