Everything stereotypically related with America was featured on episode 3 of Top Chef: D.C. — pies, picnics, grilling large pieces of meat outdoors, naughty Washington intern jokes — you get the idea.
I don't know about you all, but I am still reeling from the loss of our flaxen-haired beauty, Jacqeline. Not! One annoying chick down and the rest of the female chef'testants to go! (Except for my dark horse of the race, Lynne.)
What did we learn this week? No one but Shaft (Kenny) knows how to make pie, Borscht/Mr. Smithers is creepy and likes to do naughty things to pig bottoms, and Leah 2 (Amanda) just received the new nickname of "Cokie" (if you haven't seen the episode, take a wild guess why).
Meanwhile, Angelo and Shaft threw some shade at each other, Ed has revealed himself to be kind of a jerk, Obi Wan Chefobi (Jonathan Waxman) guest judged, and there was a significant lack of boobage in this episode.
This week's Top Chef Podcast definitely brings back the snark so I highly urge you to listen. Bonus: My rendition of Beyonce's "Diva".
