Does Food Network think that we don't know that other networks do shows about food? The reason I'm asking the question is this: season four Top Chef finalist Richard Blais was a guest on Ted Allen's Food Detectives last week talking about how to freeze alcohol with liquid nitrogen to make really cool looking cocktails.

I recognized Richard right away, as did probably most other foodies who watched the show...but you'd never know about his Top Chef tenure if you listened to Ted's introduction. It was like the other show didn't exist.

(S04E15) Not bad at all. No bells. No whistles. One semi-unexpected moment, but overall -- a very satisfying finale. The way it was structured, if you think about it, this actually could have served as the series finale if it needed to be. We had the look into the future a few weeks ago and this episode essentially closed the book on the Miami era of McNamara/Troy. It could have ended there, but thankfully, Ryan Murphy and Co. have decided to tell another chapter from the west coast.
