I am a fan too! I haven't watched last night's show yet but it is in the Tivo queue. I find it fascinating who struggles/excels under the various challenge constraints. It is not always who I would expect. Would love to go to any of the top 5 chefs' restaurants. I have been to Frontera Grill but that was many moons ago.

Agreed! We checked out the menu for his S.F. restaurant on his website. Looks pretty incredible. http://www.fleurdelyssf.com/

Skeeter -- Before I post about the finale, did you watch last night? I don't want to spoil it if you have not.

I love Rick Bayless -- he seems like such a genuine, gracious guy with such enthusiasm for Mexican food. He talked about his dad (who owned a BBQ restaurant) who was a Pit Master and how he thought his dad would have gotten a real kick out of his son being named Top Chef Master -- very touching (but not over-the-top).

Of all the dishes he made, I'm dying to try the tuna and tamale in the mole. That looked incredible.

I noticed that Topolabampo is running Rick's 4-courses as a special meal for a month or two. Maybe you and your wife could give it a try!
