Episode two of Top Chef was packed full of zingers, from Tom with his bathroom habits “It’s like someone put a big thing of turd on the table,” and Gail on her drinking “I love vodka, but not cookin’ with it,” to Padma and her, um…preferences “I like the strawberries on top.” For an episode about school meals there certainly was a lot of trash talk.
But what did the losing chef’testant have to say? Read on!

A special ES Local series, The Candidates Cookbook profiles each of the 2010 D.C. Mayoral candidates — from a foodie’s P.O.V.

Allen refers to himself as a “Mikey Eats Everything” kinda guy. “I just love eating all types of food. It wasn’t really hard for my mother to tell me to eat something,” says Allen. “If it was put in front of me, I was like Mikey — he eats everything.”
