Top Chef 3/16/26--"Puckerbutt" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: we began season 23 with NASCAR and cooking outside in a team Quickfire but only for as long as it took to circle the track 23 times. Just go with it. Jennifer (who is part of the couple), Jonathan (who is one of the identical twins), and Laurence (just here) won the Quickfire and some money. The Elimination challenge was to make something with a variety of sweet potato, but you only have an hour to cook. Rhoda made a street food dish, and the judges enjoyed the meaning and the dish so much she won. Even though Nana had a panic attack that Kristen talked her out of, in the end Tom thought her dish tasted good. Day undercooked both her fish and her sweet potatoes, so she was sent home. Not to Last Chance Kitchen, since she and whoever loses tonight are not eligible. (click for more)

Top Chef 3/9/25--"All Aboard to Charlotte, N.C." summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: For some reason we had to go to Canada, a place with their very own “Top Chef” spinoff, instead of going somewhere in the US that they haven't been before. And now we're back in the Carolinas, which is boring and I would like to go somewhere new. I thought briefly they'd accepted the Midwest with Wisconsin but I guess not. Anyway, last season's winner was Tristen, and I had to look that up because I'd forgotten. (click for more)

TAR 38, Recap Leg 12 12/10/25

 

Welcome to Leg 12! Last time, on The Amazing Race Penultimate Paris Adventure, 4 teams raced from Italy to Paris, France. Kyland and Taylor once again ended up in the back of the pack at the start of the leg, but surged through a dancing task and bounced back. Joseph and Adam struggled to dance, while Izzy struggled on typing Braille correctly. Jas and Jag finished first for the fourth leg in a row, and Izzy and Paige were eliminated. And then there were three: Jas and Jag, the brothers and entrepreneurs who have finished first on six of the eleven legs and managed to be the first team in history to finish a leg in first place after being U-Turned; Kyland and Taylor, the dating couple that has never won a leg, but their continued support of each other keeps them from falling too far behind; and Joseph and Adam, the brothers who finished last on a non-elimination leg, and have continued to struggle with Adam’s diabetes issues. (Toyouke: “I have to say, this season has been surprisingly good. Much better than I thought it would be when it was announced.”) Who will win The Amazing Race 38? (click for more)

Welcome to Leg 11! Last time, on The Amazing Race Flower Dress Decorating Adventure, 5 teams raced from Greece to Milan, Italy. Kyland and Taylor ended up on a flight by themselves, an hour behind the other teams. However, Adam got overheated (Toyouke: “Yeah, THE HEAT took its toll on Adam. Not his diabetes.”) and Jack and Chelsie got lost (again) so they were able to surge ahead. Jas and Jag finished first for the third leg in a row, and Jack and Chelsie were eliminated.
