congrats ilan hall - season 2's top chef!

so i did watch the top chef finale. but just because ilan and marcel had to pick 2 sous chef from the other cheftestants. ilan picked betty and elia and marcel picked mike and sam. good thing he picked sam otherwise i'm not going to watch. and see even as marcel's sous chef that night, sam even came up with the idea on marcel's reworked dish of sea beans, hearts of palm and kefir lime sauce coz he left his fish in the prep kitchen. he was supposed to make kampachi with hearts of palm. and it turned out the reworked dish was his strongest dish pa ha! hay naku he must have forgotten the fish coz he was focused on his science experiments like the encapsulated yuzu vinaigrette and coffee caviar. but in the end the better tasting meal won. it was ilan's of course. but sometimes naawa din ako kay marcel lalo na when the other chefs ganged up on him. pero kairita naman din kasi sha.
