Her use of the Ostrich egg in the elimination challenge was an attempt to draw attention to her dish but she definitely didn't have the goods to back it up. I loved Fabio's pronunciation of aged as "age-ed" it was great!</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/11/20/top_chefs_cook_up_hot_dogs.php#comment-1521298 http://gothamist.com/2008/11/20/top_chefs_cook_up_hot_dogs.php#comment-1521298 Comments Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:40:25 -0500 <p>I like how Fabio pronounced dragon "dragoons" -- so cute! Also, I think the contestants should know that relying on an already-prepared protein (like a store-made/store-bought sausage) as the centerpiece of your dish is a bad idea--the judges HATE that. Anyone remember Nikki from last season during the football tailgating challenge?</p>
