[Santofu]

If you want to wait,
I think they will replay it again on weekends.

[unit]

i love top chef. such a great show..

[lowside67]

I couldnt find a torrent anywhere, however, it's re-airing Friday night.

[Expresso]

Or you can watch it on the foodnetwork site.

I couldn't find a torrent either, no love for Canada!

[Spoon]

Only watched till the end of quickfire. Chefs looks good, but the show lacked energy throughout.

Mark McEwan's stoneface puts me to sleep. No comparison to Tom Colicchio.

[Meowjin]

top chef is great. I watch the greek and turkish version. Gonna torrent the canadian version.

[Durrann]

Anyone rooting for Dale
The chef that was working at lumiere

What did the Chef mean when he said you could use a little more gastrique in your hollandaise?

What did the Chef mean when he said you could use a little more gastrique in your hollandaise?

Gastrique is a steeped liquid used to infuse flavour into a hollaindaise. Its usually shallots and herbs. He was probably making a refrence to the ratio used in the hollaindaise (Usually its 1T of gastrique and 1T of Egg yolk) and if off, can result in weak flavour or a heavy texture.

[En4cer]

gastrique thou thats a vinegar and sugar combinattion.......

theres no sugar in a reduction for hollandaise.....

[Culverin]

So are we talking about like sauteed shallots, then using the oil from that? Or taking the shallots and steeping it in some water?

I've always just used butter, water, yolks and lemon juice, salt and cayenne.

Looks like torrents will be a bit harder to come by. I use TorrentLeech, RevTT, TorrentBytes, and SuperTorrents all of which are private torrent sites and it was only available on RevTT through a request.

[truth]

no need to look for torrent, if you're able to stream on the foodnetwork site as stated earlier. became a fan of this show after the past season with all-stars.

[Manic!]

Isohunt.com has it.

Anyone else think :Puke: for using Loblaws/Superstore for food. Their meat department is terrible.

[Spoon]

Interesting, didn't even know Lumiere and db Bistro had closed their doors since March.

thats just a basic hollandaise.
i think they're talking about adding a reduction to the hollandaise, such as when you make a bearnaise.
so like white wine, white wine vinegar, shallots, tarragon, and i forgot what else. reduced to like a spoonful of liquid and added to the hollandaise

The Metro paper spoiled it for me yesterday, I was like FUUUUUU. Still gonna watch the finale though.

Vancouver beats Toronto aw yea! He's kind of a dick but it's cool to see a local guy win. Reservations for Ensemble should be going up now; I've been meaning to try it since before the show started

[Spoon]

Had a hunch he won when he opened Ensemble. He literally went from Executive Chef > Unemployed > Restaurant Owner in a pretty short length of time.

Only thing I really want to try is his souffle. Hopefully that's on the menu.

[sonick]

Yeah, all the local industry people suspected it as well haha.

[lowside67]

That series definitely got better as it went on. I was rooting for him and Francois from the beginning, was a bit worried for him on the last few challenges though... talk about a nailbiter?

[Expresso]

How long do you have to wait before you can stop using spoilers. Or is every post going to be spoiler'ed? If you come into the thread you should be expecting spoilers.

The restaurant in question doesn't seem to be getting a lot of good reviews though.

[shawnly1000]

Think the true tell was when he announced a few weeks ago that he would be hosting a screening of the finale at Ensemble

[sonick]

Finally caught the finale and it did seem like a very close race. Dale's fanciness could've been his demise, but considering it was a fixed menu style the cohesiveness and thoughtfulness of the courses worked for the concept. Having another local restauranteur who also does fine dining probably didn't hurt either.

Rob was the opposite, poor menu planning by Rob really screwed him over. Seriously, it was basically a plate of fat after fat after fat after fat. Chevre, foie sausage, bone marrow and fried dough? The only actual protein was the bit of oxtail on the bone marrow, and for veg it was the but of apple slaw on the amuse.

Connie's menu was pretty good overall, I'd love to try that terrine. It seemed the multiple ways per plate kinda messed her up as she would have one great one, but one or two mediocre ones.

Pretty cool, looking forward to TCC Season 2.
