houstonian wins Masterchef

Season 3 Masterchef winner, Christine Ha

i'd be lying if i said i know what this show is about or any other cooking show on tv. i just eat. pan-seared or flash fried, all i care about is if it's tasty.

but i have to give props to one Christine Ha, a blind chef hailing from my very own streets. in the finale, Ha's competitor whipped up "butter-poached lobster with sweet corn grits, rack of lamb with curry spice and spring vegetables and bacon pecan pie" which was no match to Christine's "Thai Papaya and Crab Salad, braised pork belly with kale and a fried egg, and coconut sorbet with a ginger tuile. "

cmon, it doesn't take a culinary aficionado to know pork belly trumps all. helloooo it's thicker-cut bacon. the only thing that can beat bacon is more bacon. obvi. plus, an egg on top? someone get me Ms. Ha's number. i've got a hunger that only pork belly and fried eggs can cure (it's like breakfast on steroids!).    

what's funny is this yahoo article states the show's host, Gordon Ramsey, was quoted saying Christine won by sticking to her Vietnamese roots---did i read wrong or was the winning dish she made Thai inspired? whatever right? asian is asian! it's all the same! yeah yeah, fuck you too.

  1. Joshua and Christine both put out amazing dishes every week, and both of them have held strong pretty much the whole competition. It could’ve gone either way, but Christine's dish was just a little bit tastier then Joshua’s. I was glad that my family and I made the decision to get a Hopper before the new season of “Masterchef” started, because it automatically recorded every one of the “Masterchef” episodes for me. I work for dish and I can tell you that this is part of the Hoppers Primetime Anytime feature, and it not only record all of my Masterchef episodes but all of my prime time shows that come on CBS, NBC, FOX and ABC everyday in HD.
