Holy shitton of chefs, batman! And Emeril is a judge? I've never seen his show but hopefully he'll have more personality than James had.
The judges were so cutthroat tonight! That first dude to go definitely deserved it, though... I am no chef but I could tell he was hacking that meat up badly. I agree with Tom that a real Top Chef should know how to butcher meat.
I was sad to see Nina go, I bet she would have been a good one. Nyesha seems to be the bigger threat at this point.
I am excited about this season, and I think it's really neat that the TC kitchen has a wood-burning stove this season, it could make for some awesome dishes!
What did you think?

I loved the attitude of the judges! I did not care for the guy who destroyed the meat. He was so full of himself so I was happy to see him go home.
I'm from Chicago so I'm looking forward to seeing our home town contestants, especially the chefs from Moto. We are 5 for 5 right now and there is one Chicago chef left to compete for a coat!

I'm glad that they have to earn their spots this season. and like one of the pp said, I really don't care about the contestants either way at this point, it's just too early. I'm really not a fan of Emeril but I'm glad about the judge change this season.
Are the commercials for this bothering anybody else? If I have to see Padma in that ugly denim dress again, I'm going to bug out.
