TOP CHEF: Dinner Party

October 8, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

Surprise! I know Kath told you that I wouldn’t be able to do the recap and she was going to take over, but Comcast OnDemand got Top Chef up SHOCKINGLY fast, so I woke up early and watched it. And since Kath has a ton of shows on her Wednesday TV plate, this worked out. […]

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Family Ties

Man, you guys, I REALLY enjoyed last night’s episode. A lot happened, but it was focused, which I liked. And there were parts that were seriously, SERIOUSLY funny. And cool. Shall we … sink our teeth in? (Sorry, I had to.) I was hooked on this episode before we even got to the title card. […]

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Friday Night Bites

Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, The Vampire Diaries

You know, I’m kind of loving this show. I feel a little bad about it because I’m definitely not a teenager anymore, but then I also have no shame so I don’t feel THAT bad. I’ve been excited for it to come back on all week—it’s basically the fall equivalent of summer beach reading, and […]

TOP CHEF: Deconstructing the Dish

September 24, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

Okay, so I know that I carried on about how much Top Chef Masters* (minus Hubert) sucked more than anyone, and it kind of did, but their magic challenge was probably one of the greatest Top Chef challenges they’ve ever done, at least for me, and I had really high hopes for this Penn and […]

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: The Night of the Comet

September 18, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, The Vampire Diaries

And here you thought it was just going to be a love story. Talk about dark and brooding…and a little scary. While last week’s premiere episode did it’s job of introducing to the inhabitants of Mystic Falls, and drawing us in to the potential romance of Stefan and Elena, this week was all about the […]

TOP CHEF Recap: Camping

Now, you guys all know that we try to keep it pretty PG-13 or calmer around here, but I still don’t think that anyone will be shocked to learn that I am like straight up, world championship level at cussing at the TV. In fact, cussing at the TV is probably tied for #1 in […]

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – Glamoured, Dazzled…Hooked

September 11, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, The Vampire Diaries

You know, I have had a lot of TV loves in my life, and I’m sort of an enthusiastic person in general (to say the least), not to mention a little obsessive, so when I saw that The CW was doing a teenage vampire love story, I was OMG EXCITED. From the very first preview, […]

TOP CHEF Recap: Vivre Las Vegas

September 10, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

Well, the obvious place to start here is OMG THE HIGHSTAKES QUICKFIRE! Am I right? That WAS high stakes, and intense. I was gripping the heck out of Billy’s arm, on par to when we see horror movies (which is like, every weekend, because I’m a huge fan). And really, it seemed like a VERY […]

TOP CHEF Review: Thunderbirds

September 3, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

Well, all I can really say about this episode is that you start to really get to know the chefs, and more or less, your suspicions about them are confirmed. Especially given that this was a group challenge, it seemed pretty telling. But first, the Quickfire! Man, I love potatoes. But still, the thing that […]

TOP CHEF: Bachelor/Ette Party

August 27, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

Can I just say that two episodes in and I’m already loving this season? I felt like last season was a little bit of a dud (minus Carla and Fabio), but this one feels fresh and fun and like there’s a LOT of talent. Of course, that said, I’ve picked an early top three—Kevin, Jill, […]

TOP CHEF Season Premiere Talk!

August 21, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef

I think I speak for all of us when I say, WOO HOO, TOP CHEF IS BACK! You may have noticed that we kind of dropped out on Top Chef Masters, and needless to say, it was because it sucked. Big time. They pissed me off right to the bitter end, not so much with […]

TOP CHEF MASTERS Recap: Neil Patrick Harris & Max!!

Oh, Top Chef Masters. I WANT to love you. That kind of says it all, right? It’s not that I don’t LIKE TCM, because I do, it’s that I don’t love it, because I want the contestants to stick around so I can get to know them (even though I know it’s impossible), and I […]

TOP CHEF MASTERS Recap: Episode 2

June 19, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB, Top Chef, Top Chef Masters

I think the most jarring thing to me about this episode was how completely different it was from the first one. It’s weird because you don’t realize during an entire season of regular Top Chef how used to everyone you get, to their dynamic and reactions and so forth. In the first episode, everyone was […]

TOP CHEF MASTERS Recap: Episode 1

June 11, 2009 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by SB

Top Chef! Woo! Seriously, you guys, I don’t know when Bravo’s lineup became straight up television crack, but I am beyond hooked. As we’ve discussed (at the end of last season), I’m not even into food and I cannot get enough of this show. I’ve been lobbying hard, both on GMMR and to anyone who […]
