Brief “Top Chef” Detour
26 Feb
The purpose of this site is not to provide an outlet for my television disappointments, but I cannot resist.
Last night’s Top Chef finale broke my heart.
It was fan (and personal) favorite Carla’s to lose. Not only did she lose it, but she lost it for the worst possible reason. To come so far on the merits of your own work, your own passion and your own voice and then to go down because you listened to someone else is unconscionable.
Season Three Loser Helper was there to be your dog, Carla, not your co-captain. You said you’ll never make this mistake again. I hope you get the chance.
I just wrote to my writing group in the hopes of teasing out the moral of Carla’s story (which I agree was totally heartbreaking).
