Top Chef: All-Stars Reunion: Tom and Elia Go Head to Head!

In case you missed it, Elia is so not over having been eliminated first on Top Chef All-Stars. After getting the boot in the season premiere, she mouthed off to the press about how she had been unfairly judged and specifically went after head judge Tom, accusing him of not serving grass-fed beef in his restaurants and endorsing Diet Coke. "He has become someone who is not all about the food anymore," she told the Chicago Tribune in December. "He's not all about supporting farmers markets. He's all about high-fructose corn syrup and there is only corn-fed beef on all of his menus now." Top Chef's Mike: I thought I won At the end of Wednesday's reunion special, host Andy Cohen asked her to explain her comments.

Top Chef's Richard: I Wanted to Embody the Spirit of the Underdog

After two years, Richard Blais finally "exorcised his demons" about losing Season 4 of Top Chef by winning All-Stars. So does it mean more to win an all-stars edition as opposed to a regular season? "I think so, for sure," he tells TVGuide.com. "I had to wait two years to get another opportunity. It just worked out really well. I learned a lot from the first time around. I think winning All-Stars — the field and the competition are a lot deeper." See what else the Season 8 champ has to say about his victory, if he really needs to see a therapist and if he'll take Fabio to Barbados.

Top Chef's Dale Talde: I Could Not Get in Gear

With three elimination wins and four Quickfire wins — the most of anyone on Top Chef: All-Stars so far — Dale Talde seemed like a shoo-in for the finale. Unfortunately, the Season 4 alum came up short yet again, this time getting the boot for his amberjack stew with undercooked potatoes and mustard-y croutons. See what the New York-based chef, who works at Buddakan, has to say about his "ill-conceived" dish, taking anger management classes, and if Mike really "stole" Richard's chicken oyster idea.

Top Chef's Angelo: Sabotage Is Not in My DNA

A late-night endurance challenge at Target was not what the doctor ordered for Top Chef: All-Stars' Angelo Sosa. Exhausted and suffering from "palate fatigue," the New York-based chef — who was sick in last season's finale and joined All-Stars two weeks later — got the boot this week for over-salting his baked potato soup.Find out why the Season 7 runner-up added salt and bacon to his dish, if he too made a weepy speech at Judges' Table, and why he is not a saboteur.Top Chef's Fabio: "Everybody's a sore loser"The judges said your soup was inedible, which is the kiss of death. Were you aware that it was so over-salted?Angelo Sosa: No, to be honest, cooking ...
