I have just stepped inside a large room lined with two walls of wine, a cheese and charcuterie case, and even some skin products (seriously). Slinking …
Bum bum bum … another one bites the dust. Yes, that’s it for this season of Top Chef. By now, y’all probably know that while the season was set in DC, the two part finale took place in Singapore. There was the usual ranting and raving, and some rather unimpressive food. Still, we all watched …
