    What Sure Thing?

    The unthinkable happens on Top Chef Seattle restaurant wars

    Teresa Gubbins
    Jan 17, 2013 | 2:00 am

    In the history of Top Chef, no season has ever telegraphed a winner more clearly than this one, season 10, Top Chef Seattle.

    From the beginning — and especially since the departure of Dallas firebrand John Tesar — cheftestant Kristen has been the shoo-in, the hands-down favorite, the sure thing. Her dishes so perfect, her flavors spot-on.

    This has left us, the viewers, to numbly tally the other chefs, falling like dominos, until her inevitable victory. But there's no drama there — and that brings us to episode 11, part two of restaurant wars, a.k.a. the day the unthinkable happens.

    Kristen is so eager to take the blame for Josie's crappy bouillabaisse that she practically begs the judges to kick her off.

    Hints are dropped early of the shocking conclusion to come. The two teams — the all-girl French concept Atelier Kwan led by Kristen, and the all-boy Filipino restaurant Urbano led by Sheldon — are huddling when "Benedict Arnold" Josie sidles over to the boys to gripe about micromanager Kristen.

    Their conflict deepens when Josie — wearing a helpful red terrycloth headband that says "CHEF JOSIE" — botches her bouillabaisse. She starts it too late, then flubs the sauce. Kristen must serve it without its all-important gelatin. (Is it rude to ask what kind of $%#! bouillabaisse has gelatin?) Brooke diplomatically calls the Josie-Kristen conflict a "clash of styles."

    Brooke has other things on her mind. Make that one thing on her mind: impressing judge Danny Meyer. He's flat and monotonous as a pancake, with a strange, mechanical delivery that makes your skin crawl. But he's a VIP New York restaurateur. As violins play, he'll spot her across the room in her gossamer hostess dress and see her for the credible, talented chef she is. Oh, Danny.

    The judges like the girls' service, but they like the boys' food. They hate hate hate Stefan's Germanic brusqueness. He fails to describe the Filipino balut that Dallas chef Josh Valentine made and, OMG, the moaning and crying and kvetching. It puts them in a total snit. Judges, he's doing you a favor: It's a 24-day old duck embryo boiled in its shell. You don't want to know.

    Besides, Stefan is responsible for the episode's one good line, when he explains his interest in floral arrangements.

    "Everybody thinks that every European is gay, but we just do like flowers," he says.

    In the end, the boys' team wins. That means one of the girls will go home. Do they boot Josie for crappy bouillabaisse? Or do they ax team leader Kristen, so eager to take the blame that she practically begs them to kick her off? Padma The Witch gnashes her teeth at Kristen, and so Kristen is banished from the forest.

    She pats herself on the back for having integrity and marches on to Last Chance Kitchen. Hey, she won a bucket of cash. And we'll surely see her again. These days, with these shows, you always do.

    Post Malone to headline 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball

    Post Malone will play at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on May 9, 2025.

    Superstar singer/rapper Post Malone will headline the 2025 Dallas Cattle Baron's Ball at Southfork Ranch.

    "Cattle Baron's Ball is thrilled to announce Grammy-nominated global superstar Post Malone as the headlining entertainer for the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball, the world's largest single-night fundraiser for the American Cancer Society," the organization announced in an email to subscribers on May 15.

    The 52nd Cattle Baron's Ball will take place October 25, 2025 under the leadership of co-chairs Courtney Derderian and Nina Sachse. They've chosen the theme "All Cylinders."

    Chandler Walters will be the VIP Stage Performer. He's best known as the writer of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's hit song "I Had Some Help" and is currently on tour with Post Malone.

    Post Malone is no stranger to DFW; his family moved to Grapevine when he was 10 years old when his dad got a job as manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys.

    His most recent show in DFW was "Post Malone Presents: The BIG ASS Stadium Tour," which played to a rollicking crowd at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday, May 9. The tour was in support of Post's debut country album, 2024's F-1 Trillion, his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, and two songs from the album were also nominated for Grammys.

    Since 1974, Cattle Baron's Ball has raised over $105 million for cancer research. The 2025 ball is presented by Texas Oncology, with entertainment sponsored by White Rhino Coffee.

    The early-bird ticket deadline for the always sold-out ball has been extended to June 1, organizers say. Following that, all tickets, tables, and underwriting levels will increase by 10 percent. According to the website, ticket and table packages currently run $3,500 to $150,500.

    For more information, tables and tickets, visit the CBB website.
