You can listen to a podcast of the interview here. Also check out the Food & Drink section next week for more of my interview with Blais.

(And in my defense, I do believe the best of the crop, “Project Runway,” is a multi-Emmy nominee, no?) But “Top Chef” eluded me for years mainly on [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/04/03/blais-continues-to-kick-top-chef-ass/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/04/03/blais-continues-to-kick-top-chef-ass/#comments Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:09:19 +0000 Besha Rodell http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/04/03/blais-continues-to-kick-top-chef-ass/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/04/03/blais-continues-to-kick-top-chef-ass/feed/ 9 Richard Blais extended his guy-to-beat status on last night’s episode of “Top Chef”, winning the elimination challenge with a nasty sounding white chocolate wasabi sauce. I’m intrigued! I can’t imagine that tasting good! I hope he wins so he can buy a restaurant and serve that dish so I can taste it!

Richard Blais was in the top four chefs in last night’s premier, after serving a crab cake to the judges. Anyone who ate at Blais’ most recent restaurant Element would have recognized his saran-wrapped dish with the [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/12/richard-blais-on-top-chef-tonight/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/12/richard-blais-on-top-chef-tonight/#comments Wed, 12 Mar 2008 18:32:33 +0000 Besha Rodell http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/12/richard-blais-on-top-chef-tonight/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/omnivore/2008/03/12/richard-blais-on-top-chef-tonight/feed/ 0 Man, I gotta love my DVR.
