If you are a Rick or Michael fan this is a must watch. Love them both so I loved the final challenge. Thrilled to see it. Tune in West Coast people!

Glad it's not the finale - I'm too tired to stay up tonight to watch it - I'll catch it on the reruns. This really has been the most exciting of all Top Chefs - I love watching the Masters at work!

OK, I lied, I caught my 2nd wind and watched. Anita seems the one to beat - I wish she would smile more though - she always looks like a sourpuss!
And Art better bring it better next time . . .
Wouldn't it be neat if they could rustle up some more masters for next year? Rocco, the cute Benadin dude, Jeffrey Steingarten (wmmmm ha ha ha), Batali, maybe one of the former TC winners, Marcus Samuelson, Sam Choy, Jamie Oliver, etc.

I thought last night was going to be the final also, but glad it wasn't because now we've got more episodes to watch!
More Art... he really screwed up by putting that HB egg in the meat pattie. Hope he does better next go around.
As to who wins... I wouldn't be mad if either Art, Rick or Michael wins.Most of all, cook from the heart, and you’ll never be lonely when the dinner bell rings! - Chef Robert Irvin

Ooooo yeah! My pick Anita is in the hunt! I try to tell people she's a great chef but her demeanor kinda gets in the way. She does need to be a little more peppy but she is who she is.....

Go Anita! Your food kicks butt!
I have to say, you can sometimes tell which chefs are still heavily involved in the kitchen and which ones are out building an empire, LOL.... The skills start to wane when you have all the 'minions' doing all the prep work and *ahem* most of the real cooking. It's nice to be the cerebral creative force but I like to see the real action!"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans ... are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit."

It seems as though it might come down to Anita and Rick. I seen Rick on PBS and really enjoy his show, along with his cookbook about the trip he took with his daughter to Mexico. The information you get about the dishes and their historical back ground, how it evolves in their culture is so interesting. I have not seen much on Anita, but her cooking looks very delicious. I think I would enjoy a cookbook of hers wonder if she has one ? One thing though I think at any given time any of these chefs could pull one out of the hat and smoke em all.
prepared with passion and served with love !

Rick must be older than I thought he was. I loved the photos of him when he was younger. I haven't seen "Trax" shoes in ages.

Rick was born in 1953, he is a year younger than I am. Born in OK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Bayless
