Stephanie Izard Wins "Top Chef"

(The braised pistachios were the clincher.)

Stephanie Izard became the first female winner of Top Chef last night. Neat-O! Yay! But no surprise there.

No, the shocking part of the season four finale of Top Chef was...when Richard made banana scallop with pork belly bacon...ice cream.


Yeah the judges ate it, and liked it. Yuck. Check out the recipe.

Padma must have been high.

P.S. Since when is preparing food with liquid nitrogen the cool thing to do?

I've had Dippin' Dots. They're not that great.
