I thought he was latino or hispanic

Fuck Angelo. He sucked. ALL TALK and drama nothing more. He never backed up shit.

Good to see Hung and Voltagio though. Those were two WINNERS for sure.
The more the season went on, honestly the more and more respect I had for Kevin and Ed. They really were good chefs no question. They just weren't "colorful" enough to make it seem that way.

Though WTF was with Ed's cake?!?!

Kevin was the least objectionable of the three finalists, so I'm glad he won over Angelo. Ed just slit his own throat with that dessert. It's bad enough that he made something that could have come from a 6 year old playing with an Easy Bake oven, but to lip off to the judges and admit that he didn't want to do anything more because he was afraid to screw it up is a new level of stupid.

yea i am pretty surprised that he had really no say in his desert and just let elan do it.

i'm happy for kevin although i think as a whole that he was the least talanted of the 3 chefs. i'm just glad angelo didn't win because he was so annoying to listen to.

i was hoping ed or kevin, so i was glad it was one of them.

i'm going to miss seeing padma weekly :(

It was a decent season...but nowhere near the last two. I hope they get some better chefs for next year. Kevin deserved the win.

I agree, last season rocked. The two brothers and Kevin slugging it out in the kitchen was just awesome. The season before with Hosea, Stephan,fabio and Carla was really good as well.

This season just didn't have it like last two seasons. Yea i know its a cooking competition not a personality competition just sharing my opinion.

Last season really seemed to have strongest group of finalists. Imo, clearly better than last year or this year. Not that I've had any of their food!

I actually hated Angelo at first but grew to respect and almost like him

Kevin seemed middle of the road, always. Really surprised me that he won, but probably because he was the best out of the 3 for the final (although I'd say worst out of the 3 for the series)

Hung is a fucking MACHINE, he should be top chef this season.

Yea, Hung tore it up. Was happy to see Kevin win though. Also good to see Michael Voltaggio back. He's been probably my favorite contestant on the show.

Anyone watching Just Desserts?

Also, Kevin's dessert recipe is there on Hulu, prepped by Michael V.

HOLY SHIT that dessert is so much more complicated than it looks
