Jennifer Zavala talks seitan with Drew Lazor of the Philadelphia City Paper.Winning certainly is good for business. Apparently one has to wait until November to get a table at Rick Bayless' Topolobampo. For those diners lucky enough to have a reservation during the next month, Chef Bayless' winning meal is available as a $90 prix fixe dinner.
The Detroit News has a short interview with Ann Arbor chef Eve Aronoff.

YES! I was going crazy until I figured it out who "Mark" was - crazy... i liked him on TC so was glad to see him on IC
I did. His hair's a bit shorter. What't the TC on ICA count now? Blais, Ariane, Mark, Tre...
PS-Now I'm convinced Jennifer Z. was the right one to go. I've read three different excuses for why she thinks she got kicked off. One was she didn't plate it well or explain it properly. I forget the other, but here she says the grill wasn't hot enough. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the judges said there wasn't enough "heat," weren't they talking "spicy heat," not temperature heat? And I saw her pick up habeneros in the clip. She didn't use those??? I'm really confused.
I'm pretty sure they meant spicy heat - didn't they complain it was bland?
And...I wouldn't be surprised if everything the judges tasted was stone cold.
