Dear Jenny,
I've been meaning to report to you about last week's new episode of Top Chef, except there wasn't one. It's very strange and I wonder what the reason behind it was, but just weeks after the break for Independence Day, we had another gap. Instead of another set of challenges and an elimination, we had "Watch What Happens" Top Chef reunion, featuring some contestants from each of the three seasons. Why now? Why them? What is there to say, really? We learned very little: people we thought were kookie were actually kookier than we knew. Everyone really still hates Marcel. (Get over it, assholes!) Ilan and I have the same glasses. Sam is really hot with a shaved head. Padma Lakshmi got that scar from a car accident when she was a child. Andy Cohen throws to the clip really enthusiastically. Maybe something more interesting happened at the end: I had to turn the TV off when Sandee (name?) from season three described Top Chef as "a microcosm."
Love,
-- Pete
