Omnivore - ‘Top Chef’ Las Vegas, episode seven: What’s with the attitude?

Eli’s “looking out for number one” is getting old.

That a boy, indeed!

Red beard sporting, southern food cooking Atlanta chef Kevin Gillespie took home a win, and $15,000, in last night’s episode of “Top Chef” Las Vegas for his venture into Asian cuisine, proving he can cook more than just bacon jam. Kevin’s Vietnamese inspired grilled pork with herb salad impressed guest judge Tyler Florence and his gusty move – choosing the $15,000 over immunity – caused an outburst from otherwise calm and collected Padma (“That a boy, Kevin!”). And while his confident attitude (“At this point, I’m not concerned with immunity”) could have read as cocky, Kevin still managed to come across as a good guy. I hope Jen buys him that suit.
