Top Chef Finale

Wednesday night was the final cook off. Hung, Casey, and Dale were on the top of a mountain trying to get water to boil and skins to crisp. Casey may have been the fan favorite, but she sure was not the judges favorite. She's kicked but at key times through the show, getting her to the finale, where, I will admit, she totally blew it. Oh well, I wanted Dale to win anyway. He made two of the judges favorite dishes. His lamb chop poached in duck fat tasted great (I guess) and showed his creativity at high altitude. All of Hung's dishes were good, but the judges commented on how most of them lacked acidity, or kick, or some sort of WOW. Even his desert was boring - chocolate cake.

Who Won?????

Why Hung of course. I was sooooo disappointed, I'll never watch that crappy show again (yes I will). Now Hung can take his $100,000 and open up a french restaurant and cook classic food just like its been cooked for hundreds of years. How original and exciting is that?
