Top Chef, S23 e2, "Puckerbutt"

Pucker up, puckerbutt, it's late on Monday so we're bringing you the spiciest top chef coverage in town.  We see the chefs navigate a gauntlet of flavor and texture combos in a COOL quickfire and then meander through the pepper patch and get HOT, hotter and hotter along the way.  We learn some things, we say a goodbye and play well as teams on this week's ep.   Thanks for joining us once again: 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. Find us for vintage VPR on Mondays and Fridays and for season 12 recaps on Tuesday nights dropping right after the show. Watch, listen, and find visual aids and poor decisions at @takeapinotpod on Instagram and on YouTube. Questions, complaints, and hot takes go to [email protected]. And please leave a review so more people can suffer through this with us.
