I am loving masters top chef, these are true professionals no drama, even helping one another out. Anyone who is a working professional in any field can tell you this is what it takes to be in a successful venture, teamwork. Young Man Dale in hindsight will find that his streetbrawling confrontations will hinder his career in this age of technology. Does anyone seriously want a egotistical,hothead, combative jerk working on their team. Google will be your worst nightmare

I love Top Chef Masters. It's refreshing to see chefs behave with such respect for one another. You don't have anyone throwing aomeone under the bus. There is camraderie,respect, true passion for their craft, and most of all humility. It's really amazing you have chefs who have been in the business, and are the cream of the crop but harbor no ill will, or they feel they're above using certain ingrediants. I love the fact they make mistakes just like everyone else, but they don't behave like they are better than their peers. I love Top Chef, and can't wait for the new season, but it's so tiring watching up and comings behave like they are end all, be all. I mean honestly if Anthony Bourdain can eat warthog rectum, why are you too good to work with kielbasa? More food, less drama!

I keep watching it because I am a foodie i guess. I am not keen on fact that as the public we never get to "know" the chefs and really get a fav. It is a fun show though but I can't wait for Top chef to start. I love Vegas and it will be fun to see them there. Keep up good work guys and see you next seasin of both shows.

Hey just got a chance to see this episode (finally!), solid episode, congratulations to Anita Lo, who in all fairness should give a big thank you to the too helpful John Besh. I have to say that I am left with a completely non-food impression from this episode though; Mark Peel's voice is a dead ringer for Kevin Spacey! Anyways, thanks again for your comments Brian, it is always a pleasure to check out your insight.

I love this show because it does not have the childishness of the other Top Chef series. These are people who are established and doing this for charity. They don't wrestle each other on television (and get thrown off the show) or act like complete jerk0offs. They are trying to do their best because they love to cook and they want to win for their charity. I agree- I would rather see this than Top Chef alumni cooking for Real Housewives.

I like this show because these are established chefs who are willing to fail miserably all because of charity. I would never criticize anybody who is willing to put their reputation on the line to help others in need. I would rather see this than Top Chef alumni cooking for Real Housewives.

Agree with you Betty, and posted a similar comment elsewhere. One of the nice things about this show is the professionalism and camaraderie of the master chefs, but it is not right to taken advantage of another chef's generosity to win. No doubt, Lo is a talented chef, but we were hoping that Mark Peel would pull ahead for the win. Great show overall.

Am I the only one who thinks that the quick fire was unfair? You were supposed to only use "one hand" and yet Anita Lo had help. I'm not sure she would have done so well if not for John Besh's help with his "hand". That is sooooooo UNFAIR.. I would liked to have seen her try to snip off the egg tops using only one hand. This is just NOT FAIR to the other contestants, seeing that she won by only a couple of points. I don't think she would have garnered that "5 points" if she had , indeed, used only one hand.

I agree totally with you Lipiti. All the drama takes away from what the show is all about, the food. Can't quite figure out why Malarkey is here criticizing his superiors. Watch and learn Brian.

I enjoy Top Chef Masters at least as much if not more than I do the regular Top Chef series, exactly because the focus is on cooking and creativity and not on artificial dramas, petty arguments and narcissistic chefs trying to outdo each other for a moment longer of camera time. It is also fun to watch the masters who served as judges before realize that even if you are really good, you can miscalculate, run out of time, make a foolish mistake, and not be able to recover because of how challenges are designed. Maybe the criticism of others' mistakes will be more empathetic rather than scathing in the future? Would be nice.
