"It is what it is."

Ever since the TC reunion show, I use this one all the time. It's a great argument-ender.

[Nutjob]

"You will not succeed, and you will FAIL. Harrrrribly."

That was a head scratcher for me, because I thought failing and not succeeding were pretty much equal in meaning. Oh, poor Stephen.

[DCCrackMonkee]

Obviously, "You are a tool and a douchebag" holds a special place in my heart. I was never a gigantic fan of Candice, but bless her for standing her own through that fight.

"I'm not a f*king artist; I'm a chef."

--Harold (horribly horribly paraphrased, someone please correct me. It's from the wedding episode)

[Blanky]

(paraphrased, please clean it up if you have a copy of the ep, etc.) "If I wasn't busy explaining the differences between ___ and ___ on the road to Rioja, then I might have been able to serve everything as soon as it was ready."


-Ah, Stephen. Hanging yourself with your own Windsor knot.

"Our food was fly"

HA HA..I like this one too.

[Lovecat]

LeeAnne: Stephen, your SPAM is burning.
Stephen: Oh, thanks.


I just love the use of "Stephen" and "SPAM" in the same sentence.

"...You, too, can be a Grand Master of Snacks."

Let's just get it out of the way early:
"I'm not your bitch, bitch!"

[whirlingdervish]

"...between the big thinker and the no thinker."

LeeAnne, describing her fellow teammates Stephen and Miguel in Restaurant Wars

[floretbroccoli]

"I didn't want to lick my plate, and that makes me sad."

I quoted that very line yesterday, during dessert at Eleven Madison Park. I DID want to lick my plate.

[porkchop1]

"Stephen is a sommelier. He is also a professional bullsh-tter." I think Lee Anne had to do a retraction on that blurb and state that she was referring to Stephen only and not sommeliers in general.

"I think people are frightened of him. He is very white."

Lee Anne's reaction to Stephen's inability to attract Mission District residents in the "Hot Dog Cart Challenge".

"This is Top Chef, not Top Sommelier/Waiter..." ~ Tom Collichio

"Don't talk to me like I'm a f*cking five-year-old." ~ Lee Anne responding to Tiffani telling her that she's to stop what she's doing when the timer goes off.

"That sounds like my co-workers!" ~ Queer Eye's Ted Allen to Andrea, when he's about to taste her Quickfire dish, after she told him she tries to get all five tastes (or whatever) in her food

"M-m-m-m, You smell the same." Cynthia when giving Ken a hug at the Reunion.

"Where the F--K is my pomegranate?" Cynthia - one continous bleep.

"It's time to vote the as-hole off the island" - Lee Anne on Ken's disrespect of Hubert Keller.

"They can both go somewhere and make-out for all I care."-Dave, referring to Harold and Stephen.

Tiffani: "I thought the pannacotta was a real firecracker."

"I'm taking the salmon. You're giving me the salmon."
- Harold

[smrou]

"I'm taking the salmon. You're giving me the salmon."

Oh, swoon. That was so sexy.

[Lady Marmalade]

*g* My favorite Harold-ism was, "Stop fucking with the front of the house" to Stephen in the wedding challenge. Mrowr!

"That sounds like my co-workers!" ~ Queer Eye's Ted Allen to Andrea, when he's about to taste her Quickfire dish, after she told him she tries to get all five tastes (or whatever) in her food

I should know better than to eat and read the boards at the same time.

"I'm not a _____."
Harold whenever he has to do something out of his comfort zone. Junk food, dessert, etc.

[DjLexxy]

"He should have thrown that idea out the window and sauteed the damn thing in a stick of butter! Bada Bing!"
- Ted Allen on how Dave should have made Andrea's fish

"Hi! Would you like to try some of our uh.... food that we're preparing....No? Okay."
- Stephen trying to talk to the Latinos in the Mission

"Chocolate Chip COOKAAAAYS!!!"
- Miguel during the Fat Ass Snack Master Challenge

"I wish the chefs well in whatever they perspire to do" and "I know I don't have the best fatigue"
-Miguel attempting to use vocabularly words

[sweet potato]

"I know what I'm good at, I make food look pretty."
-Harold during the restaurant challenge.

"I'm taking the salmon. You're giving me the salmon."

Oh, swoon. That was so sexy.

Hell yeah.

Paraphrase: "Can someone see if she's okay?"

--Gail, at the reunion, when Tiffani went off crying and gagging. The way that Gail said it, so deadpan, made me laugh.

I laughed, too. It was almost as if she was asking them to move a potted plant because it was getting in the way of the shot. Looking back, though, she probably just froze up a bit due to the awkwardness of the moment.

Paraphrased -
"I can't believe I'm living in this house with a bunch of freaks."
- Harold

[pomme de terre]

"My back just ran into your knife."

OK, I did not get that quote at all. Was she calling Harold a back-stabber because the other people picked him? Because that was not his fault at all. Even if she was referring to Stephen and Dave, just because she tried to be nice to them, in her own mind, does not mean they owed her anything.

[LizDC]

That was Tiffy's way of blaming Harold for her failings in the final competition.

[porkchop1]

Actions sometimes speak louder than words. In particular in the hot dog cart challenge Stephen's Italian gesture of flicking the back of the hand from under the chin (meaning f--k you) in response to a mission district resident ignoring his plea to sample their food.

[soapygirl]

Paraphrased but. "So much peopper! I think that Chef is a Pepper Monkey!" French Judge on Dave's love affair with pepper.
