Comments on: Atlanta represents and falls flat on ‘Top Chef’ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/13/atlanta-represents-and-falls-flat-on-top-chef/ A blog dedicated to the discussion of food, restaurants and life Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:02:16 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Besha Rodell http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/13/atlanta-represents-and-falls-flat-on-top-chef/comment-page-1/#comment-930 Besha Rodell Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:39:45 +0000 http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/13/atlanta-represents-and-falls-flat-on-top-chef/#comment-930 I have to say I was pretty shocked at the "caliber" of chefs. There seemed to only be a few folks there who are decently worthy - I know that's been the case all along, but by this season I would expect the talent level to go up. The fact that none of them knew how to make a soufflé was pathetic. I have to say I was pretty shocked at the “caliber” of chefs.

She also attempted to make a cauliflower flan (which failed) and instead made something called a cauliflower scramble?! I would never order something like that if I saw it on a menu. She did add some diversity to the show, which is lacking, but was not qualified to be there with the present caliber of chefs.

Yes, it's true, he is working on doing a burger joint. However, I think it'll be kind of like his deal at Elevation - he will design the menu, train the staff and be an integral part of the concept, but I don't think he'll be on site as the chef. At least that's what I inferred from the brief email exchange we had. Stay tuned as I get more info... Thanks for the link BJ!

Also, I have heard rumblings of our future Top Chef to be doing a burger joint...say it isn't so! Too good to be true. Besha, I think you might find the following link amusing.
