| The America show is just too contrived for my taste. I like the Japanese simply because you see the alumni from the challenger's various schools or businesses cheering on their chef. A win seems a little more genuine. A little more like a win and not just an exercise.
I'm a party pooper today. Sorry. | | | |

| I must say it was nice to see Rob Feenie(Vacouver, Lumiere) on the show. I thought he did well and deserved the win. no bias here!  | | | |

| Didn't try to watch this week. Watched last week and saw Roberto Donna having way too much fun being on camera instead of trying to really win. He got his ass kicked. | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| FOODTV did their wedding special instead of Iron Chefl. Since I'm already married, I didn't watch. It will be back this Sunday. | | | |

| The Morimoto vs. Donna episode was the first one that I've seen that that one of the chefs did not finish the required number of dishes. It did look like Donna was just playing around. | | | |

| I think he used to chef at Le Cirque. I think he has his own place now, but I did not catch the name of it. His dishes were imaginative, but one or two of them lost their purpose (to highlight the cheeses in question). That is why he lost, IMO. | | | www.roguefood.com -- www.cellartracker.com | |

| Scott Campbell now has his own place, SQC Restaurant & Bar, after doing tours of duty at Quote:
the Oak Room in the Plaza Hotel (sous chef), Windows on the World, Union Square Café, Le Cirque with Daniel Boulud, QV with Joachim Splichal, Montrachet and Sfuzzi at Lincoln Center. He was also executive chef at Hubert's on Park Avenue, and in 1990, Campbell opened Vince & Eddie's as executive chef/partner, devising a menu of American regional classics.

| wineismylife: I agree with you completely. She did fine. I really liked her style & dishes. BUT, my wife & I were surprised that she actually won. Come on...a little favoritism going on here  . Mario WON! Period! | | | |
