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.

You're right about line cook. Everyone knows there's BBQ in Texas, and it can be a tasty thing. But the BBQ cook is never called a chef.

For me it's hard to tell that the lineup is any better than the season with the Voltaggio twins (for instance). I think it's mainly what they're cooking - it's hard to make a bowl of chili seem like a culinary accomplishment. For me, the only thing I can tell is that Heather is a bitch (I actually rooted when they dumped her), and that Paul gets cuter each episode.

Paul is completely adorable. I want to pick him up and squeeze him and make him squee!

Speaking of Heather - what was her problem? She kept ragging on Beverly from day one, and I don't think it was just the two-day shrimp preparation. I totally cheered when she did herself in.

Have you been watching the Last Chance Kitchen episodes at all? Some more interesting stuff going on there- strictly focused on the food.

Next week, restaurant wars!

No, I haven't done that yet. Maybe next Wednesday I'll catch up before the new episode.
