Bourdain on Top Chef

We'll get to yesterday's episode in a bit, but first, Mr. Anthony Bourdain would like to squash any conspiracy theories you might have regarding the judges' decision last week: "Dale's Butterscotch Scallops were supremely bad. Jaw droppingly bad ... There is no pressure from the producers to either keep particular contestants--or send others home. In all my appearances on Top Chef, I've never seen it, never felt it ... I could give a rat's a** who the producers or Bravo want to win or not win. What I've traditionally used the Glad Family of Bags for would probably not make a good commercial."
