Top Chef looking to "Cut and Dry" Top Chef S23,EP5

from But I’ll Take a Pinot Grigio

It's Episode 5 of Season 23 and things are getting wild this week; we've got kids as judges, dry food is a goal and there's some issues that may involve an early exit.   NC native Fortune Feimster is in the house, bringing some comic relief as,,, kids as judges?  Yes, and theyre brutal, of course.  There's a bit of free time in the outdoors, at least, but the cheftestants are back at it quick to impress the judges (some guests from Kindred!!) with dishes featuring dried foods.  It's a great one!   We'll take a look at all the cheftestants and see which category of ours they fit into; weeded, seeded or defeated.  It's gonna be a great season, y'all. The Pinot Pod has gone posh, y’all and we’re delving into season 4 of Ladies of London. Listen to Sundi and special guest and former socialite, Emile, dissect what is basically the Real Housewives of London.  Find us for vintage VPR on Mondays and Fridays and for season 12 recaps on Tuesday nights dropping right after the show.
