Top Chef Gets a Little Less Dyketastic

It was a bittersweet episode of Top Chef tonight. Dyketastic Lisa won the elements elimination challenge with her miso smoked bacon but Jennifer's lover Zoi was sent home for an underseasoned mushroom salad.

While it's exciting to see one of our sapphic sisters win a challenge, I'm sad to see Zoi and Jennifer split up. I'm rooting for Jennifer now. Win it for Zoi, Jennifer!

Lisa's winning dish reminded me of why I love Top Chef. I can actually say the show changed my life. I was a vegetarian for ten years before Top Chef Season 3. I was watching it and I suddenly realized - I can't eat anything they're cooking! In a decade of meat-free existence, I never thought I was missing out on anything until Top Chef. I am now a happy omnivore with a passion for cheeseburgers and bacon. I really want to figure out how to make Lisa's bacon. It's seeing food like that on television that made me start clogging my arteries again.
