top chef masters, plus scallops

[threeplusfire]

I just realized I forgot to buy corn. Argh. Added to tomorrow's shopping list. Vegetables and meats. And hamburger buns.

Watching the finale of Top Chef Masters. It makes me crave sushi. Why does every chef always make something with scallops? I'm not complaining because I love, love to eat scallops. They are delicious and can be eaten in a billion delicious ways. I just wonder what exactly it is about the scallop that makes them the chef's darling in the kitchen.

I need a Top Chef scallop only cookbook. Hah.

Also, watching Susur Lee in this episode made me all warm and glowing inside when he talked about his first wife and how much he misses his best friend, and about his second wife and his family. His food looks so fantastic to me. I want to eat at his restaurant. I am disappointed that Susur didn't win.

There was a lot of amazing food in this episode. It makes me think I need to eat at Wink again. Mmmm food.

Wink's buffalo tartare is so fucking amazing, though incredibly expensive. I've heard it once described as "pussy you can swallow".

I'm trying to figure out a way to kidnap susur and keep him locked in my kitchen.

My understanding of the scallop is that its considered the easiest animal protein to work with. We cook them a few times a year and can't get enough.
