    Top Chef Recap

    With departure of John Tesar, Top Chef loses only reason to watch

    All things must come to an end, and for Dallas viewers, the end came on episode 12 of Top Chef, the reality TV show on Bravo. After hanging on through the entire season, our reason for watching, chef John Tesar, was eliminated in the first part of a two-part finale; the show will end next week.

    Tesar departed without drama, a quiet capper on an episode — and entire season, for that matter — that felt anticlimactic. This season's cast was congenial and competent — good skills for a chef, not so much for reality TV.

    Before Tesar left, the show did its best to orchestrate dissent between him and his helper, Katsuji Tanabe. At one point, they showed Katsuji saying, "F--- you, John." But the two chefs worked together compatibly, doing shots from the sponsoring Patron tequila while collaborating on Tesar's (losing) dish.

    The quickfire required the chefs to cook goat in the middle of a giant, empty stadium, none of which made sense. There were countless shots of host Padma Lakshmi's bosoms, heaving through her spaghetti strap camisole. Never have tits become more tiresome as they did on Season 14 of Top Chef. We get it, Padma has an amayzing rack; can someone please hand her a shirt.

    Brooke won with goat ribs, which no chef had ever dreamed of doing before. Her reward was the right to choose her backup chef first — she chose Casey Thompson — then partner her competitors with their backup chefs. The ultimate Top Chef soldier, she knew instinctively as if the producers were radioing in her ear to pair Tesar with his nemesis Katsuji; later, she dutifully tried to cast shade on their harmony, but tequila shots.

    In the Patron-themed elimination, sponsored by Patron tequila, they had to create a margarita with Patron tequila, and a dish to pair with their Patron margarita. Tesar lost because his straightforward margarita neutralized his chicken soup.

    Brooke did two cold, uncooked dishes including an avocado soup. Two cold dishes, what? A tiny nub of drama.

    Are you okay with doing two cold dishes?, asked chef judge Richard Blais. Yes, because my dishes are so perfect, she said. Congratulations for standing firm, said judge Tom Colicchio.

    She won. Her prize: an insanely expensive bottle of Patron, from which she instantly chugged a sip. "That sip was like $1700," she effused. She'll compete in the final finale against Sheldon and Shirley, and then, thankfully, it will be done.

    Netflix reveals details on new venue coming to Dallas Galleria

    An entertainment experience from and about Netflix is coming to Dallas: Called Netflix House, it's an immersive venue set to open at Galleria Dallas at the end of 2025, with films, exhibits, food, and drink.

    The concept will allow fans to immerse themselves in Netflix shows, with themed clothing, food, and interactive elements such as a Squid Game-themed obstacle course.

    Dallas is one of two cities in the U.S., along with Philadelphia, where Netflix House will debut in late 2025. There are also plans for a location in Las Vegas.

    Spanning more than 100,000 square feet, Netflix House will be a permanent, year-round exhibit featuring popular Netflix shows and movies — including Wednesday, Squid Game, One Piece, Stranger Things, and A Knives Out Mystery franchise — through first-of-their-kind immersive story-driven experiences.

    For its locations, Netflix selected former department store locations spanning footprints of more than 100,000 square feet in shopping centers. The Dallas Netflix House is under construction on two floors of the anchor space in the former Belk store, on the northwest side of the shopping center.

    Outside these spaces, fans will be treated to sculptures and murals featuring characters from Netflix titles, as well as rotating installations with ticketed shows, and restaurants with themed dishes.

    What is Netflix House
    Building on more than 40 previous live experiences for Bridgerton, Money Heist, Stranger Things, Squid Game, The Perfect Bite, and Netflix Bites, Netflix House allows visitors to become the main characters in their favorite stories.

    A typical visit might submerge visitors into their own adventure such as participating in a round of Red Light, Green Light straight out of Squid Game, followed by mini-golf, or grabbing a bite from a menu of dishes inspired by shows and movies. Since each Netflix House updates its offerings, the experience may differ from one visit to another.

    Netflix House Dallas
    Visitors to Galleria Dallas will have what a release calls "terrifying scares" to choose from, including a journey into Creel House and one of Squid Game’s most thrilling challenges.

    • Stranger Things: Escape the Dark: In this immersive experience, journey into the ruins of Hawkins to find three missing townspeople … before the horrors lurking within find you.
    • Squid Game: Survive the Trials: It’s your turn to enter the arena! Play diabolical games, face off against the Front Man, and betray your friends for a chance to win it all.
    • Netflix RePLAY: Forget the arcade — our game room’s packed with physical challenges, immersive story rooms, and retro-style games where you can take on your friends, or play as a team.

    In a statement, Netflix chief marketing officer Marian Lee says, "this is fandom coming to life, where you can actually step inside the worlds you’ve been watching and loving for years."
