'Top Chef: New York': Stefan, Hosea or Carla FTW?
Twitter
As the Top Chef: New York finalists enter into the second part of the final round, it's interesting to reflect back on how they got there.
Carla - She started out with the crazy eyes (okay, she still has them) but gave off such a hippie, la-di-da vibe that everyone was waiting for her to get booted early. Somewhere along the way she redeemed herself by learning focus and started to serve winning dish after winning dish.
Hosea - Uh, to be honest, I know he worked hard and studied thoroughly, but what I really remember him for is playing lovebirds with Leah and then suddenly realizing that canoodling and kissing your competitor when both of you are in relationships might not be such a good idea.
Stefan - The last half of Team Euro has survived by skill alone if you ask him. That's the problem: Stefan obviously has the culinary chops, but his arrogance -- which was never as endearing as Fabio's cocky eloquence -- has even ticked off the judges, who feel his know-it-all attitude is a detriment.
Let the man defend himself. Check out LA Times' Stefan interview.
Obviously, if you're only as good as your last dish, who do you think will deliver?

Carla all the way! Love her and her crazy eyes.
Booooo....why would carla listen to casey??? i cried for her.
I think Carla should have been voted as the "Top Chef" because she creates culinary delights from her heart and soul. I have learned a great deal about food and love from Carla. She has been a delight to watch on 'Top Chef New York' this season. Paradoxically, Stefan was an extradordinary chef. I enjoyed watching him as well --- even his ****y and confident attitude was at best entertaining. There is nothing wrong with being confident, especially when you can deliver as Stefan proved over and over again. He created dishes that clearly depicted his versatility in cooking. I was very dissappointed that the judges gave the "Top Chef" title to Hosea. I do not believe his culinary skills are as well developed as Carla or Stefan's. He cannot even make desserts --- he said it himself. Hosea was a wrong choice, and I now wonder whether or not I will watch 'Top Chef' again.
Poor Carla! I knew when Casey started talking, it was SABOTAGE!!! Carla, you are terrific. You really did make me feel the love each week. You are Top Chef!
I was really hoping that Carla would win Top Chef. I really enjoyed watching her! She needs a food show of her own.
Other than Top Chef (and Ace of Cakes), I don't really watch the food shows, but I would probably watch one with Carla - love her!
Stefan should have won inspite his not so appealing dessert. He won more than Hosea and he was consistent. Hosea only won one or few. Carla if not from her dessert, could have won too. But to top it all, it should have been Stefan. ****y, confident who cares, the competition was cooking. TOP CHEF should give something to Stefan or it could have been tie.
