Top Chef Texas Tedious is the worst season yet. Quinceañeras, South Fork, rodeos, & now BBQ! And the Texana angle isn't the only thing that sucks.

The caliber of the chefs is outstanding, when compared to years past, but each episode seems like a very special episode of Blossom... Gimmicky themes and too much chain-service. Are they competing for Top Chef or Top Line Cook?

I'm actually a big fan of Top Chef and I'm liking (not loving) this season. I do agree that they're WAY overdoing the Texas angle; has there been any prior season where the competitions were so skewed to local tastes? None that I recall. This last episode started out promisingly and I assumed we would have a molecular gastronomy evening, but then we ended up with barbecue??? WTF? This makes me wonder if the finale will involve roping a steer, dispatching it, butchering it and making chili.

And oh yea - I want to do unspeakable things to Ty-lor's rump roast.
