Top Chef Exit Interviews: The Finale!

Well another season of Top Chef has come to a conclusion and I can say one thing for certain: it’s much more fun to watch the finale when you’re not trying to write down every single ingredient each chef is using. But, I’ve finally finished tallying up the points, and the winner appears to be JesterGoblin with a grand total of five points for guessing carrots, bacon, and crab (used by all three chefs). Shout out if you can find any errors in my judging; otherwise JesterGoblin, send us your address to receive your fabulous prizes — Top Chef: The Video Game and a Bravo gift card.

Oh yeah, and there was another competition, too. You know, the Top Chef one. Our combined chats with all three finalists (SPOLIER ALERT!) is after the jump…

Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: All Wound Up

– A Mario Batali gift that doesn’t involve copious amounts of red wine and Florentine steaks the size of your head? Where’s the fun in that?

– “Padma Would Rather Be Naked.” Click away, perverts!

After the jump…we reach the food reality show saturation point, we find out who drew the short straws at Food Network this Thanksgiving and fun with food/music puns.

Top Chef Exit Interview: Episode 12

It’s really getting down to the wire on Top Chef: Las Vegas, with the remaining chef-testants having to endure a culinary Olympics this week. Of course, one unlucky cooker didn’t make it to the finish line. Our (spoiler) chat with them is after the jump.

Top Chef Exit Interview: Episode 11

Wow, I thought Top Chef: Las Vegas couldn’t become any more of a foodie fantasy than Natalie Portman telling dirty jokes in a steakhouse, but then they go and top themselves this week by serving Padma and Nigella breakfast in bed. Total head explosion.

Speaking of Padma, look out for her making an “exotic and robotic” guest appearance on 30 Rock tonight! Is this NBC testing out Padma’s potential as a sitcom star?!

Oh right, they cooked some stuff last night too. On with the (spoiler!) exit interview…

Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Susie Fogelson Needs a Virtual Heimlich

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.

– The new Food Network Wii game, Cook or Be Cooked!, will make you a world-class chef in the same way that Wii Sports has turned you into a professional athlete. Remember: video bowling ain’t exercise, chubby.

– Salman Rushdie is reportedly still obsessed with Padma Lakshmi. That’s a stunning lack of willingness to “live in the moment” displayed by someone who was wanted dead my millions of people.

After the jump: A murder in the publishing business, Bobby Flay is moving on up and a celeb chef shows us that it’s never too late.

Top Chef Exit Interview: Episode 7

High stakes indeed! This week, the Top Chef Las Vegas contestestants had to cook for not one, but five A-list dinner guests. Out chat with the eliminated gambler (spoiler alert!) after the jump.

BUT FIRST, in our continuing round-the-clock coverage of Padma Lakshmi’s hostile takeover of the entire media world, we’re pleased to bring you the latest music video from indie rockers The Eels, starring Ms. Lakshmi herself (watch for the not-so-subtle Tangy, Tart, Hot and Sweet plug):

OK, on with the exit interview…
