I guess crunchy celery means that its fresh & kernals popping means their ready. I guess... Yeah, so did that one woman on Next Food Network Star who wanted to make all 5 senses a part of the "sensual" experience of food. HAWT! I get that "food" uses all 5 senses. But we're talking about identifying ingredients blindfolded: by taste, smell, sound, and texture. Yes, being able to look at the food would help you identify it, but that's the challenge. And, yes, being able to look at the food allows the chef to "present" his dish, but the challenge isn't about presentation either. Sight has more of a pyschological effect, which can actually make you misidentify something, if it's not it's usual color. But it is not physically connected to taste.

Not only is he an amazing chef with the most experience, but he is such a great mentor, too. Every week he takes on the challenges with a smile and shows no ego and when he has little slip-ups, he shrugs his shoulders and moves on with a great attitude. Just seeing the way he handled recruiting his sous chefs last night compared to Michael really shows the difference between master and just a notable chef. Hubert better win this thing. Hubert's buffet looked amazing and I'm so glad he got 5 stars from all three judges. I was actually pissed when they revealed the other diners only gave him 3-1/2 stars. WTF? How was his food only worth 3-1/2 stars? At least he was still able to pull out a win in the end though, because it was deserved. Bummer about Anita, but she is obviously not cut out for this type of competition. She's not good at thinking on her feet. So, we have French cuisine vs. Mexican cuisine vs. Americanized Northern Italian cuisine for the finale. I would love to be on the panel for that tasting. Hubert FTW with Rick as runner-up and Michael to be humiliated, please. I couldn't agree with this more. Hubert just has such a great vibe about him and is a Master chef in every sense of the word. Michael, not so much. He is too damn condescending. I'd rather work under Hubert any day. No contest. I was sorry to see Anita go, too. GL Hubert!! <3

They dont seem to want to let anyone but American trained chefs win this.. NO WAY Hosea should have won last year. don't mind me, I was pulling for Hubert.

Hubert should have won. Didn't like Hosea last year either, I was team Stefan (sp). Didn't want Chiarello to win because he seemed like a douchebag last week but for some reason I ended up not liking Bayless either. Meh. Usually can't pick winners on these shows, so I shouldn't be disappointed.

I love mole and I can only imagine how complex and delicious his was. What a fabulous feast that must have been. I'm sorry to see the show end; the critics really grew on me. Tom annoyed the shit out of me.

I wanted Hubert to win as well (I live in the Bay Area as well), but am perfectly content with a Bayliss win. This would have ended on such a sour note if Michael had won. I forgot who said it (Kelly? Padma?), but the point about Mexican cuisine being underrated is very true. Its become commonplace in the US, which is part of the reason why so many North Americans, especially Americans, look down on it. We've had this food for years, so a lot of people consider a lot of the dishes just commonplace. Europeans, on the other hand, tend to appreciate Mexican cuisine a lot more, even though the French and Italian cooking has more history to it.
