Don't worry, there's a twist. The TV dinners were influenced by TV shows compiled by the editors of TV Guide! The remaining chefs visit Tom's restaurant, Craft Steak at the MGM Grand, and are tasked with cooking for Oscar winner Natalie Portman and friends. It may sound fun, but they're met with an interesting twist that makes their mouths drop. This is gonna be just like when Zooey watheverthenel was on Masters? Natalie is a vegan so I'm sure she'll rain on their parade about the food that they can make. That just sucks. I hate these high and mighty, pseudo-intelectual vegan actresses messing with good food.

No, I am not a Vegan, or even a vegetarian, but if they can do challenges from vending machines, or sponsoring some idiotic product, why not a Vegan challenge? It's a growing market, and a restaurant offering Vegan food as an additional option to a regular menu isn't that far-fetched. I do have two nieces that are Vegan, and my sister (a regular old "everything" eater as I am) has come up with some amazing foods for them, and frankly, I wouldn't have even known some of them are Vegan if I hadn't been told. It's food. They are chefs. Let them find a way to make it shine. It makes more sense to me that a Dr. Pepper Challenge, or cooking on a campfire.

Early on, when you're really just separating wheat from chaff, it's okay to test their creativity under adverse conditions. Most of these people, left to their own devices, can cook a decent meal. The twists help separate the people with imagination from those without one. But toward the end of the competition, the very types of twists that revealed imagination early on end up constraining imagination. Natalie Portman should be an Ep 3 challenge, not ep 10.

Wait, Mike & Eli & Robin and Mike/Eli go home in a shocking double boot. I hope for a shocking triple boot, followed by several weeks of round-robin one-on-one cookoffs between the Volts, Jen, and Kevin. And then Jen stars in the next spinoff ... Top Chef: Bikini, where Jen cooks against Casey with both wearing bikinis. Loser has to remove their bikini and go home. Last Edited By: f2goat 10/28/09 4:58 PM. Edited 1 times.

Find a way to create flavor, texture, interest, and show your skills without relying on traditional proteins. I am a little bored with scallops, pork belly, and ceviche personally--this gives talented chefs a "real" challenge, and gives them a chance to show some real skills in a different way. Aside from that, it's a growing market, and frankly, I do think chefs should stretch themselves to consider vegetables and grains as more than just throw-away side dishes.

And I have issues with Natalie Portman wanting to shove her opinions down humanity's throat on everything, but that's a different thread altogether. I would rather them just get normal, everyday people who may not even be vegan and entice them with the possibility of trying something new.

Robin, Isabutthead and Jen in the bottom 3 is my prediction with Robin or Jen going home. Jen has been fading the last few weeks. Ever since that week when she was sick.
