This episode seemed to be more about the judges then the contestants. Do we not have enough talent in this cuntry to find some of our own judges to dismantle, critique, and pan our contestants? Where is Anthony Bourdain when you need him, off eating lizard gizzards in Timbuktu? Our lovable Ted Allen jumped channels to The Food Network where Tom seems to be moonlighting more and more (i.e. see every Food Network event and you see Tom). This week let's change focus as did and lets "Judge the Judges." Who are your favorites over the seasons and who drove you mad? Who made you laugh and who made you want to throw something at the T.V? Yes this week my friends we are sitting behind the Top Chef Judges' Table and were going to let them have it. Not even our beloved Tom is safe this week and I'm sure Padma is going to get lit up like yesterday's Christmas tree. Don't hold back because this week we are making our own show: Top Judge on Top Chef!

Sit with me at Top Judges Table: I love it when they get real accomplished chefs such as: Jean-Georges, Daniel Boulud, Jose Andres, and Eric (kicked me off) Ripert. As a contestant you can't help but learn and appreciate the feedback from these legends. Of course it's also great to see the big celebrities chefs such as the Martha Stewarts (awful and slightly scary) and the "Dancing Chef" Rocco Dispirito (over-played on the show but mad skills). The ones I can't stand are the local chefs from the location the show is being shot, the ones who get their shot at fame and really put forth their own agenda; these judges usually show up in the early episodes that don't have as much impact on the final results. A few I have in mind are the Maria Frumkins aka the "Queen of Tarts," Michael Schwartz -- "Who" -- and so many more that I cant think of because we don't know who they are.
