Possums, we are pleased to report Clay Bowen did not pull a Bernard Loiseau, and is alive and well in Santa Barbara, providing his recipe for succotash to accompany "his unusual take on surf and turf" (o irony!). (Not that we're morbid, but we've had three episodes and two dead fathers being invoked. What next?)In other news, Ilan Hall narrowly avoided being struck by lightning after writing on his Bravo blog that Hung Huynh "needs to be a little bit more respectful of his surroundings, his fellow competitors, and the food products. You don't just throw live animals on the ground and leave them there. No matter what, you're in a kitchen."
