Top Chef: Wisconsin Finale Recap: Yes, Chef
A slightly mid season leads to a pleasant but not-too-memorable finale.
This season has been up and down in a lot of ways (Kristen’s effectiveness as a host, the vagueness of certain challenges, the seeming conspiracy to get Soo from Last Chance Kitchen onto Top Chef proper), but Danny, Dan, and Savannah have each had little paths of glory. That was a tip-off that Danny’s errors (not enough salt in his appetizer, not providing directions for his second course, unevenly cooked lobster in the third round) were judged less egregious than either Dan’s or Savannah’s, and he ends up as the first Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Muslim Top Chef. I’m still unconvinced on whether Kristen can bring more to the judging gig than her past win, I think the contestant pool this season could have been stronger, and I am certain that Last Chance Kitchen should only be for eliminated chefs, not a horrible obstacle course for someone to try and make it into the show from the beginning.
