I watched The Taste - I really like watching anything with Anthony Bourdain in it, so that was a good reason
Luca Lefebvre is a really talented chef/restauranteur - you may have seen him on Top Chef Masters.
But I have a feeling he's got a big temper. Brian Malarkey was on Top Chef as a contestant. Didn't win, but got my respect. He's got I think 5 restaurants now, including one in San Diego that a friend just went to - good reviews from her
Of course we know Nigella - and I think she'll have a heart for her contestants... but for the life of me I can't see why she chose the mashed potato lady... hmmm!
Did anyone recognize Khristian (spelling was something like that) - she also tried out on Gordon Ramsay's show "Master Chef"
I like that, since it's based on a blind taste only, that they can send their *own* team member home!
