Touchdown! Greaser!
Those of you who watch the Travel Channel know who Anthony Bordain is. He's a chef that has a travel show, where he travels to all kinds of places with a very keen (and sarcastic) sense of humor. One of the best shows on TV, IMHO.
In any event, he's a guest judge on Top Chef. And he has a blog. Apparently one of the Top Chef challenges was for the contestants to produce an "airline" meal. Bordain's comments in his blog are priceless. For example:
Those of us who travel a lot will find the entire blog entertaining.

It was not a happy week for me on Top Chef -- nor, I suspect, was it good for most of the contestants. New Jersey may be my childhood home and the cradle of American culture, but who wants to spend more time than they have to at Newark Airport? While I like the fact that I can climb into a big, winged metal tube and be carried anywhere on earth I choose, eating on planes is, for me, most of the time, only marginally preferable to a colonoscopy.

I take a lot of airplanes. Many tens of thousands of miles a year in the air. Reluctantly, I have become, I'm afraid, something of an expert on the subject of air travel. And I have, to say the least, low expectations of what to expect when the slop gurney comes rolling down the aisle -- even when in business class.
