Poor Anita

Sadly Anita Lo was kicked off Top Chef Masters this week. Even though she was my favorite, I think she did deserve to go home - a raw bar in the under a hot sun = eww. For a while there I thought they'd kick off Michael Chiarello for being "mean" to the former Top Chef contestants, but the critics actually judged him entirely on the food and he stayed. I know a lot of people have gripes about him, but I actually like him more because of this episode. I could never stand past contestant Dale or his ego, and I'm happy Chiarello took him down a few notches. Plus it doesn't hurt that Chiarello is kind of a silver fox. Now that Anita's gone, who do I think will win? I'd have to say Hupert, since he seems the most consistent and exciting chef.
