One Trick Pony

Does anyone else notice that whenever a cheftestant says something like “I use my sexuality” to get ahead, it sounds like the most feeble dare ever? I am specifically thinking about Top Chef Season 2’s Marisa of the woefully firm panna cotta and Season 3 of Hell’s Kitchen’s Joanna, both boasting of womanly arts that could seduce the judges only to fall flat when it came to actual skill. According to Gawker, Nikki Cascone has crowned herself with the latest honorific of sexy chef. Eech, maybe lessons from Jenna Moroney can be learned.
