IT'S MY [ ] IN A BOX: I did not care for tonight's Top Chef Masters challenge, as much as I found the result pleasing. I just don't see the point of taking great chefs (well, three great chefs and Roy Yamaguchi) and constraining their choice of ingredients in such an odd way. Look: challenges are about restraining or pushing the chefs in some way -- but the goal should be to put them in a position to flourish. I didn't feel like tonight's challenge did that sufficiently -- especially by boxing them in on the proteins -- though I have to admire any fried chicken recipe that starts with frying bacon just to use the grease for the chicken, then tossing the bacon itself.
