The Friday Mailbag

Zach, Amin and Mayes are challenged to compile a list of movies that they neither picked nor philed, but that one of the other two championed.

To no one's surprise, Zach is leading the league in this category and has the most picks to choose from.

For all Tom and Kevin know, Wisconsin native Frank Lloyd Wright’s career might have been fueled by Pop-Tarts and Spaghetti O’s.

But some of the architectural luminary’s best work can be found just a couple of blocks from where the Top Chef 21 chefs scavenge the aisle of the Whole Foods for their ingredients.

This week, those chefs were asked to pay homage to Wright in a team challenge that stumped more than a few of them.

The upside is some heightened tension in the kitchen and some incisive analysis at the judges’ table, where Kristen Kish continues to shine in her first season hosting Top Chef.

After four weeks, one contestant in the field continues to dominate — and it ain’t a Top 3 pick. 

A heads up that we will be hosting a LIVE chat during next week’s episode at 9 pm ET on April 17 on Substack.

All Substack subscribers can join — free or paid. We will send out a notice in the coming days. Join us!

Tom & Kevin aren’t huge fans of hidden doors or cheese croquettes, but they love getting to the bottom of a good mystery -- like who’s to blame over the slippery floor this week in the Top Chef kitchen.

This week’s Cheese Elimination Challenge didn’t produce any instant classics. One nice “nice fried ball” — as Gail Simmons artfully called the procession of croquettes — after another.

Though the episode didn’t produce any or memorable dishes, it did what an early episode is supposed to do: Begin the separation of the contenders from the long-shots.

Michelle, Rasika, and Dan are beginning to form an elite at the front of the pack.

Lavar Ball is Big Baller Back and we missed him so damn much. Was the world a better place when Lavar was constantly on the airwaves?

We've got major ownership turmoil in the association, as Marc Lore and A-Rod forgot to include a No Take Backsies clause in their contract with Glen Taylor.

Meanwhile, two mortgage brokers turned owners that attended Michigan State have mad beef as their teams clash in the desert tonight. My third eye tells me someone already discussed this over a year ago...
