Hi from New Orleans, Harold! Love reading your blog and your take on the challenges. Its one thing for me to sit in my living room and watch and analyze the challenges, but I'm a novice, and I miss a lot of what is going on. Like the chopping of the onions - the way you described it; the food science behind why you do what you do is very interesting! Also, i think you write like you talk..... i can hear you making those comments out loud, and it really gives life to your blog. Like everyone has said, you competed with grace, which is rare (in any field), and the way you treat people and lead them says much about who you are.....and still when i watch top chef, i compare people's behavior and treatment of others to the way you handled yourself....you are a class act! P.

The inagural title holder is still down to earth. It's good to get your take on this contest.

Harold,
Out of all the chefs, of all the Top Chef seasons, I love you the best. You were a very good chef, and a gentalman at the same time. I know part of the show is about ratings and hoopla, but you did it with grace. I respect you and the way you handle yourself in front of the camras. Thank you for being you.

I am so glad you are still in business. I thought you were the best of the winning competitors. You were thoughtful, professional, serious, and played the "game" with class. I enjoy reading your commments and have great respect for your success.

you rockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! the show, i love it, but i also enjoy gordon ramsay's helllll's kitchen!
keep on keeing on......miles of smiles from texas.
