The Next Iron Chef - SPOILER

[Seamus Lab]

I think it was the right decision that Chef Mullen went. Felt bad for him working in such pain though with his arthritis. You could see the pain in his face.

I'm happy with Mehta and Garces as the final two.

I don't like Mehta at all. I'm rooting for Garces all the way.

BTW, I don't ever remember them doing this competition before, did they? Is this how they picked Chef Simon?

[Seamus Lab]

Yes, they picked Chef Simon this way too. I don't remember how the others (Batali, Flay, Morimoto and Cora) were chosen.

[Allie]

Batali, Flay, and Morimoto were all original. I am not sure about Cora, I think she joined later. Michael was the first one to be picked thru the competition.

I have not liked Mehta from the beginning, he is a sneaky bastage who has undermined the other chefs to get his way. I like Garces, I hope he makes it on the final showdown.

Mike Symon is supposed to be opening a restaurant here in Detroit in one of the restored buildings/hotels downtown. Some day I hope we can afford to eat there!

With Mullen gone it is Mehta versus Garces.
