After watching last week’s season premiere episode of Top Chef, I think there was probably a consensus among fans that this was going to be a fun season full of talented contestants.
But then last night happened…
What the hell was that? My train of thought while watching that gastro-disaster unfold on the television was not on the different techniques and ingredients being used, but how can I possibly pick a top 3.
Last night was a three course meal: an appitizer, entree, and dessert. I’ll play along, and pick one one from each to comprise my top and bottom three for the week. Remember, the criteria is simply what this blogger would choose to eat.
The Top 3:
Chilled Sweet Corn Soup with Mint and Chili Oil – Not big on cold soup, but I dig the ingredients.
Leading up to last night’s season five premiere of Top Chef, I couldn’t decide how I wanted to cover my favorite reality show on The Chew Blog for The Dagger. I thought about live blogging each show, but decided against that for many reasons*.
So I decided to highlight the top and bottom three dishes from the elimination challenges based one one simple criteria. What would I chose to eat? I am, by no means, a food critic, and have probably not even tasted half the stuff on the contestants plate. Still, I love food.
So here are last nights top and bottom three elimination plates, in no particular order, chosen by me and not the judges, with pics:

BILL BATEMAN’S
2021 Pulaski Highway
Havre de Grace 410-939-7667
We started out with Jimmy’s favorite everywhere we visit, that offers them…the famed ‘crab pretzel’…well, they must have used an atomizer to spray the crab on this pretzel…at $9.99 skimpy describes it.
Jimmy tackled a dozen b-b-qued wings…mild…and they were great at $8.49…thus if we’d skipped the ‘vaguely crab pretzel’ and got two orders of wings we would have been ahead. He made the wings his ‘main course’ and said they were up to his usually high standards.
I ordered grilled chicken breast platter with lemon pepper, and raspberry tea. Usually I discard the roll, just eat the breast, since I’m trying to lose 50 pounds, and every little ‘bite’ helps. Thank God I like chicken and prefer it cooked well, but not too dry…and this was cooked properly.

Ever wonder what happened to the McDLT? How about the McLean Deluxe? Anyone you remember the McJordan? You know, the quarter pounder with bacon and bbq sauce? Let’s take a look at these and others…
McLean Deluxe – The McLean Deluxe was marketed as a healthy alternative to McDonald’s regular menu. It was released in the United States in 1991. It had a reduced fat content compared to other McDonald’s hamburgers. This was achieved through use of 97% lean beef and the addition of carrageenan to the meat. The McLean Deluxe was originally designed as a replacement of the McDLT. Like the McDLT, and despite performing well in taste-tests, it did not sell well and was dropped from the menu in 1994.
