Top Chef Podcast - All-Stars Ep. 11: Engulfed in deceit

There was a whole lot of shadiness going on in last night's episode Top Chef All-Stars. Apparently, Jersey Mike is even more devious than we'd expected and will stop at nothing to claw his way to the top. Needless to say, I was not amused with his recipe-stealing antics last night. Instead of "Jersey Mike", we should start calling him "Judas Mike".

I digress.

Paula Deen started out this episode preaching about the joys of deep-frying and challenging the chefs to create their own deep-fried masterpieces. Again, we saw Blais using liquid nitro. Not a "gimmick" you say, Blais? C'mon, we know you've got so many more tricks up your sleeve you could be using instead!

Anyway, Judas took the win with Blais' his fried chicken oysters in oyster gravy dish. Antonia's fried avocado and shrimp "salad" would have won, but she had a brain fart and forgot to plate up two portions. I was just surprised that no one did anything with copious amounts of butter.
