Restaurant Wars or Restaurant Bores? Top Chef Recap

The always-awaited Restaurant Wars episode finally aired and we're not gonna lie, it was a tad disappointing. Robin is still holding on with a fruity dessert, while Laurine finally flounders out of the competition (what took her so long?).

The delicious and devilishly clever quickfire outshined the much-anticipated Restaurant Wars, which usually turns into Restaurant Disasters, but alas, not this year. The mute/blind tag teaming amongst the non-wrestling chefs proved more appetizing and suspenseful than any quickfire in the past and definitely better than Kevin's undercooked lamb and Jen's broken butter sauce. Too bad the blue team decided to "let it ride" and lose a handful of cash.

The underwhelming main courses of Revolt and Mission, which we find to be two of the worst restaurant names in all of Top Chef history, built more knots in our stomachs than an appetite for suspense. We're tired of the overexposed brother competition and bullying, the Robin-hating and the drone of Mike's dull, underseasoned dishes (some of which he can't even pronounce correctly).

Even the two consistent chefs we usually look forward to more than a gooey chocolate dessert failed miserably with their drab and poorly executed entrees. Jen looked like she'd been through the dishwasher on the "pots and pans" cycle, and Kevin was sorely off his game, like Brad Lidge facing Albert Pujols.

The only way Top Chef can redeem themselves is by finally taking Robin out of her misery, and the other cheftestants out of theirs, oh, and maybe throwing in another classic French challenge or bringing back Wolfgang Puck as a guest judge.
