Live-blogging Top Chef: Las Vegas - Part I

How can you not be stoked about Top Chef? Thankfully it's still on Bravo, unlike Project Runway. * tear *

9:02: Looks like there is an interesting cast: lots of women = drama; two brothers who are Michelin recipients and James Beard award nominees; a few gay guys; a few girls with nose rings and tats... should be good.

9:05: First Quick Fire Challenge: Mise-en-place challenge -- always entertaining (clams, ribeye, lobsters, and prawns)

9:06: Teammates must explain to Preeti what a clam is--does not bode well for her being Top Chef.

9:10: Brian is kicking ass. Win for the Blue team.

9:16: Someone actually opting out of a quick-fire... either good judgment or lack of skill. Jesse has never worked with prawns. Sounds lame to me. You are a chef? C'mon.

9:20: Jenn wins the first High Stakes Quick Fire: $15,000. Not a bad day's work for making a meal. She seems like a contender. Will need to take note of her.
