No More California Flair on Top Chef Chicago

The pride of Los Banos, Ryan Scott, was sent packing from Top Chef, eliminated for bringing California flair to a Chicago Bears tailgate party. His non-traditional tailgate dishes didn’t wow the judges, but he did seem to be a fan favorite after working the crowds with his metrosexual charm.

But in the land of da Bears, tough defense, and Rex Grossman as QB, flair got no place. While Ryan’s been shaky throughout the season, I thought he might be making a turnaround after a pretty good showing in Episode 4 Film Food and doing well in Episode 5’s Quick Fire challenge. I thought Nikki was going to go after she ran out of food for the judges and seemed to not make an effort with her sausage and peppers dish.

This episode was a little amusing but still the overall season is pretty boring. I don’t know if this year’s chefs are keeping themselves reserved or if they’re all ultra competitive, not wanting to show any flaws. But there’s not much to engage the viewers. Even continual winner Stephanie isn’t exciting to watch. Though she keeps winning or being in the top, there’s nothing there making me root for her.

For the remaining chefs, here are some inspirational words from Chicago legend, Michael Jordan.
