Top Chef shook things up for this week’s episode, traveling to Singapore for the season’s penultimate episode. The contestants managed to overcome food labels written in Cantonese, cans that don’t work with can-openers and a confused waitstaff.

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

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.
– Presented without comment, a quote from Matilda Cuomo on the fact that her son’s girlfriend, Sandra Lee, makes lasagna with cottage cheese and canned tomato soup: “I don’t know that that’s true.

The latest and greatest news about celebrity chefs, served up buffet style.
– The Beards were announced. Big winner is Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio. Lots of happiness in the TVFF household when the chef at Philly’s Osteria won for Mid-Atlantic.
– And the full run-down of Beard media award winners. I’m sure ours is coming next year.
After the jump…we take a trip down to the mouth of The Mighty Mississip and we ponder if it’s actually “news” that Duff Goldman is in the paper for baking a cake.
