I think I mentioned this already but AV Club remains my recap-of-choice for Top Chef. I love Serious Eats for most things but their recaps of TC have sucked. Yes, AV Club did get it wrong on the spilled cauliflower/broccoli replacement in Kevin's dish this week. But SE had hit a level of pointless and sustained snark in the first weeks of the season that rivaled some of AV Club's recaps of the last season of Project Runway. IOW, they pissed me off so much that I stopped reading them. Decided to give them another try this week but if the evil tone has calmed down a bit (it not longer reads like it's a sisyphean effort to watch/recap the show) but it hasn't been replaced by anything much better. And for a foodgeek site their discussion of the food is pretty lacking. Plus they seemed to Have No Idea who Patrick O'Connell was or why he and the Inn at Little Washington were important. Sure a commenter finally called them on it/corrected them. At comment 18. At least the AV Club commentariat caught the cauliflower/broccoli mistake at comment 4. So anyway, if you ask me (and you didn't but I'm telling you anyway), the SE recaps are full of fail. As they say on the internets. Which, last time I checked, is where we are.
