Sorry if this is off-topic. I don't know if you read this Richard but you recently performed at the Cooking & Entertaining Show at DC making liquid nitrogen frozen popcorn and I had a question.

Was the liquid nitrogen popping the corn? What exactly was it doing to the corn? I was in a seat too far away for a throw so I was a bit confused and couldn't quite tell what effect was supposed to be.

Otherwise I had a wonderful time watching you and Paula. Great show; I hope you go far in whatever you want to do whether that be performance cooking or restuaranting or both. And I also couldn't help but notice how much weight you have lost since Top Chef. Hope you read this!

I loved your post!

Hello Richard,
I can't believe that you didn't comment on the reunion dinner. What REALLY went on? How was the food prepared by the rest of the cast? What was Lisa like? Did the bacon have a French accent???

Richard,
I can't believe you didn't comment about the reunion dinner? Were you as uncomfortable to be there and witness the squirming in person as we were to view it? Did you smell bacon with a French accent? (Too Funny!)

Loved your blog...you have such a way of writing...such an art, so keep that in mind when and if you'll do a cookbook.

Richard-
I absolutely LOVE the malta ribs that you created during your Top Chef experience. I've made them several times, but my first attempt was the best... because I followed your proportions to the letter. Then, the recipe was removed from the bravotv website... oh, how my ribs have suffered. Any chance I could get a refresher?

Hello Mr. Richard:
Thanks for your blog. I just recently watched you and Eli in the Iron Chef America and thought you were great. Have you ever thought about competing in the Next Iron Chef?

That was a great article Richard, I was giggling all the way through. You have a real knack for writing!

Richard, you are, indeed, a clever chef. Would have loved seeing you in this particular competition with the V bros. and Kevin.
The vegetarian challenge was awesome and I was sorely disappointed in some of the results. Don't we all eat vegetarian at times? I expected better from many of them.

Ate at Flip Burger for lunch today for the first time with co-workers. Loved the meal - portions & service were great. Will definitely be eating there again. Enjoy your insider take on all things Top Chef!

Yes, the magical elves threw everyone for a loop this episode. Good analogy, but not your best blog. What did you think about everyone's individual dishes? I had to read your blog a second time, because I couldn't believe there were no Star Wars references..you know with our host being Natalie Portman and all. I sense a disturbance in the force.

Hello Richard,

You ARE one clever man. The title of a cooking show for you could be, "The Clever Chef!". You are brighter than all of the current crop 'o cooks combined. With the exception of Michael V. and Kevin (albeit, whose dish I thought looked messy), the rest of the cast couldn't adjust very well. Mike I. was too clever for himself and was sent home!

Great analogy! I think it was brilliant of the producers to set up the switcheroo. Personally I don't think any of the chefs, even Kevin, rose to the challenge. I did however really like the creativity Michael V displayed with his dish.
