Brian's Song
Gale Simmons: "I'd like to say a few words about a chef I know, an acquaintance of mine. His name is Brian Malarky, and he has the heart of a Top Chef and that rare form of cooking which allows him to fool himself and his judges -- fish. He has a mental attitude which makes me wary to know a chef who spills out "seafood," 24 hours a day, every day of his life. Now, you flatter me by giving me this position of power. But I say to you here and now, Brian Malarky is a man of many hats yet limited recipes who could receive the Top Seafood Chef award. It's my decision tonight and Brian Malarky's tomorrow. I love Brian Malarky’s fish. And I'd like all of you to love his fish, too. And tonight, when you hit your knees: please ask God to love his fish."
And for those of you who didn't get the movie reference...a real "song"!
I like to cook yes, yes, right between my sink and fridge
On a stove of heat I saute in the pan
Any meat meat that’s not on land
Cooks well, fries, sears, to the plates away from here
Well, I don't know why I was maligned
It’s ok cause I’m going home
On a magic carpet ride
I don't know why they cut me
Why don't I go down to the sea
Calamari will set me free
Close your eyes Gail
Look inside Gail
Let the taste take you away
Last night I held a Top Chef chance
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the win could go to me
Well, Padma came and took the knives away
I looked around, a lousy trout was all I found
Well, I don't know why I was maligned
It’s ok cause I’m going home
On a magic carpet ride
I don't know why they cut me
Why don't I go down to the sea
Sashimi will set me free
Close your eyes Gail
Look inside Gail
Let the taste take you away
On a stove of heat I saute in the pan
Any meat meat that’s not on land
Cooks well, fries, sears, to the plates away from here
Well, I don't know why I was maligned
It’s ok cause I’m going home
On a magic carpet ride
I don't know why they cut me
Why don't I go down to the sea
Calamari will set me free
Close your eyes Gail
Look inside Gail
Let the taste take you away
Last night I held a Top Chef chance
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the win could go to me
Well, Padma came and took the knives away
I looked around, a lousy trout was all I found
Well, I don't know why I was maligned
It’s ok cause I’m going home
On a magic carpet ride
I don't know why they cut me
Why don't I go down to the sea
Sashimi will set me free
Close your eyes Gail
Look inside Gail
Let the taste take you away

Great take on Magic Carpet Ride! Brian seemed hesitant during the quickfire, and did throw in everything but the kitchen sink to create his elk dish. The judges liked everyone's food, so I think Eric's disliking having to choose which cheese to put on the dish put Brian over the edge.
great blog....wish I would have come across it sooner
The song was a LOT better than that monstrosity of an episode.
You are so much fun! Thanks to all of you for hosting the live chat. It made some of the sad episodes so much fun!
Yeah, great take on Magic Carpet Ride. Ah, poor Brian. I liked him, but I guess it was his time to go.
Your quote should have been from Gale Sayers. :-)
Yes...well....that was the joke: "Gale" and "Gail"...I thought I was funny...oh well.
