Another 'Chef' Bites the Dust
Over at "Top Chef Las Vegas," the group had a chance to cook for some soldiers using only cans and limited equipment. For the home cook, this would be just another day -- but for the cheftestants, it's cause for panic.
In the end, Michael V. won for (yawn) a pork dish, while Preeti and Laurine lost because of their boring pasta salad. (Pretti went home but they probably both should have packed their knives.)
Was there any dressing on that salad? And why did people with all of this supposed culinary skill not come up with something more exciting as a vegetarian option than pasta salad? If they had a wok (which, by the looks of it, rivaled what you would find in an Asian restaurant), and noodles, they could have made Pad Thai, a billion different stir-fries, even sesame noodles. But instead, they went for pasta salad with veggies. Ugh.
By the way, what was up with Mike's "greek" salad? I'm no expert -- and certainly no eater of shrimp -- but doesn't true Greek Salad have feta cheese, olives and a few other things? He easily could have soared over the other vegetarian option and probably stayed out of the bottom three too.
I can't wait until all of them have to make a vegetarian option when Natalie Portman's episode airs. Now that will be worth watching.
