Overheard on Top Chef Tonight

On tonight's episode of Top Chef (here's the recap)...

Spike Mendelsohn to Nikki Cascone when Dale Talde and Lisa Fernandes tell them to buy the rapini: "What's rapini?"

Me, waving my hand excitedly at the screen: "I know!!  I know!!  I got to know it!!"

Below are some other recent Top Chef articles I didn't have the chance to post last week. 

• Top Chef Episode 4.8 Gourmet or No Way
• Interview with Eliminated Chef Mark Simmons (sadly, no audio)
• Top Chef Episode 4.8 Recap

I have been too busy to otherwise post, but I am happy to report getting to know some other vegetables via cooking and eating if not researching/posting.  Made friends with kale!  Today I caught myself thinking "Ooo yum, I have some broccolini in the fridge!"  Was I knocked on the head and just don't remember it?  What other explanation could there be for this weird turn of events?

Since you're on a salmon kick these days, thought that I'd mention that adding a touch of curry powder before cooking adds a wonderful exotic flare to the fish...Enjoy!
