Amuse-Biatch Invites You to Play “Name That Cheftestant”



















So, possums, we came across this photo of the current Miss Universe, Venezuelan Dayana Mendoza, and one of the cheftestants from the still-filming season of Top Chef. Any of you know the name of this goatee'd, vaguely toothsome lad? The photo was taken during the filming of a Top Chef challenge at an amFAR event in New York City on August 6, 2008.

The Importance of Not Being Earnest: A Farewell to Snark

Possums, we shall not look upon her like again. She has packed her knives and gone.

We could hardly believe our eyes when we read the
announcement: The Great Keckler, whose recaps and ceramic-knife wit were legendary, and who coined the term "cheftestant," will not be recapping the new season of Top Chef for Television Without Pity.

Mes enfants, the general has left the Top Chef field. We will soldier on, of course, but the battle simply won't be the same without General Keckler, and she will be sorely missed.

"You make it sound like she's dead," said Miss XaXa.

No, no, no. She's simply gone to a better place, that's all. Namely, Jericho, which she will continue to recap for TWOP. So get on over there to continue reading her work. And remember, though she unfortunately doesn't get royalties, every time someone uses the word "cheftestant," a sous-chef gets her toque.

Thanks for the memories, K.
