I think it was all the food that I prepared while working in different kitchens, it was all pre-cooked, frozen, thawed, and then cooked again before being served to the customers. I hated that idea, and wanted to cook everything fresh, and only use frozen stuff for deserts, or something that requires something you can only get frozen. And Top Chef isnt cheesy, its a good show, great ideas(I never thought of putting Bacon ontop of a sort of desert flan, Kevin sure rocked, I just wish he won it).
