The new season of Top Chef DC premiered the other night. The early episodes are always so disjointed--so many cheftestants, so much editing, so little opportunity to get to know the competitors. Angelo and Kenny stood out as the two to beat, but it's early.
It's so strange to see DC represented...it always seems so familiar yet so strange. It shows a different cultural side to the city that you don't often get to know, because you get caught up in your own circles of social. It's like I have my legal/conservative community, Steve has his tech community, others have soccer circles or art or music or whatever else consumes their 9-5 lives or their 5-9 lives. The first show showcased the new Newseum and the Mellon Auditorium: two places I do not frequent. I even googled the latter; seems like it would be a good place to hold a fancy event if you happen to have the funds for it.
Too bad the Detroit contestant didn't make it pass day one of the competition. Though having coming from the Bradley Prizes--where two of the four winners hailed from Detroit--I was happier that conservatism found its roots there, even if good cooking was lacking this time around.
