Attending a Vegas wedding catered by the Top Chef Masters

Anyone who knows me could tell you that I am obsessed with weddings and the shows that feature them. Maybe it's because I'm a planning-oriented details person, or perhaps it's the fact that I'm a sucker for love. Whatever it is, I can't get enough.

Since I'm pretty much married to my career at this point, the Vegas wedding that was thrown for episode 2 of "Top Chef Masters" was about as close as I'll be getting to narrowing down a wedding menu anytime soon. Nitpicking set aside, all of the Masters did a bang-up job catering a 200-person event in a matter of mere hours. I was so bummed to see Debbie Gold go (and she has some bones to pick with my critique), but in the end someone had to be cut.

Seriously, this job is not easy. I take criticism on a daily basis as a writer, and sometimes it still smarts. It's all a part of growing and finding where you fit in though. I know that I've learned a lot from the experience of being on Masters, and I hope she did too.

Anyhow, here's my commentary on the episode for Bravo. I won't be on next week's episode, but you should check out my homie Francis Lam getting his judge on. I'll be back on August 22. Til then, bon appetit!
