Maybe Toby is sleeping with Padma.
Yeah. Boy, do I miss Gail. But what is wrong with some of you? Anthony Bourdain is just another a-hole, hardly different from Toby!
Toby has to be the most annoying judge to date. I thought Martha was terrible but his guys takes the cake. He doesn’t need to go on and on. And, why bring Elvis into the judging. I found to be very crude and unnecessary. There has to be a person better suited for this job.
I’d be curious to know whether Toby writes those clinkers or if he is being given them by TC staff. If he’s the source, I have to conclude that he doesn’t have much respect for the Bravo audience. He apparently thinks our taste and level of understanding in cuisine rank just barely above those of tractor-pull ticket-holders. “Well, let’s see, how can I make these yokels understand the concept of ‘under-cooked fish’? I know, I’ll compare it to a Adam Sandler movie!” It’s always such a delight to be patronized.
Matt: Bourdain might be an ass, but at least he knows what the hell he’s talking about, doesn’t ~try~ to be witty/clever (he just is), and is respected in the culinary world.
Toby couldn’t touch him even if he tried.
i have to just add to these sentiments. toby young is a huge idiot. and remember his comments about carla probably cooking jambalaya all the time for the men in her life? i’m not even going to go there. please, bravo, whenever this man is present it destroys the dignity and the educational aspects of the show. it also makes me want to vomit. my respect and expectations of the show were so high that when i saw a new judge being introduced, i thought it would be someone smart and thoughtful and articulate and serious who would ELEVATE the discourse and give us more to think about at home and tell us more about actual cooking. ugh, how wrong, wrong, wrong i was. DUMP TOBY.
That’s right America, we pawned him off to you. We don’t want him, we never wanted him. His obscure 1980′s movie referances make no sense! Honestly, it’s a little harsh for us to pawn him off to you, though. Maybe see if Canada wants him?
On another note, did anyone see the episode? He was almost polite… I’m lead to believe he was taken over by some sort of alien lifeform, that’s turned him into the Anti-Jackass, or Bravo doesn’t like him either.
I think that the Top Chef production team was thinking this could be the Simon Cowel of food tasting. talk about a dullard Please bring Gail back or someone with a personality!
Gail has personality? LOL!
Toby Young was not a value added proposition to Top Chef, but I was so glad to see that utterly predictable, fad-girl Gail go make babies for a while [she's looking awfully plump].
I’d love to see someone like Alton Brown… or make Bourdain a permanent fixture!
