- Not hot. He was a bit of a snooty asshole but we saw him so much he feels like a cousin who you like despite your natural inclinations.
- I will always have sympathy for him after he got raped in his sleep by that big black guy while everyone just stood around and laughed.
- I always thought he was cute, too.
- What the hell would a cooking competition show be without Marcel? My God, he's always on, because he's a little asshole. I'm sick of seeing Marcel...and Spike.
- Neither one can cook worth a shit.
Nate%20Appleman%20and%20the%20rest%20of%20the%20Chefs
- I never thought he was cute until now. Maybe it's the hair. I'm hoping that Appleman dude will screw up. That guy is incapable of being happy, it seems. And he has "Real Estate Lady Eyes."

- Ugh, Spike--he always looks like he hasn't showered in weeks. So NOT what I want touching my food.
- Someone I used to be good friends with but don't care much for anymore is friends with Spike. She is obsessed with having as many "famous" friends as she can, no matter how D-list they may be.
Apparently Spike really does look dirty and smell bad in person. And he is a complete douchebag who thinks way too highly of himself.
- Spike is hot, Marcel is not.
However, I will grant that he seems less obnoxious and freaky-looking than he did on Top Chef.
- He looks hot bearded up. Where can I get a zippered jacket like this. Tres sheek!

- Hottest chef goes to the Obamas' assistant chef, Sam Kass.

- You've got to be kidding, r11.
GAG
- If Marcel is such a genius fucking chef then how come he doesn't have his own restaurant? He's not exactly a boy wonder anymore, dude is in his 30s.
- He had a show on Syfy which was cancelled after one season.
- R2 What???
- eew wtf. I guess we all do have different tastes. I think Marcel and Spike are hella gross.
- Uh, r2 slightly exaggerates. The big black guy, Cliff, tried to hold Marcel down and shave his head.
If his dish hadn't sucked, that alone would have gotten Cliff kicked off of Top Chef. However, he screwed up his beans or something, so it didn't come down to that.
If Sam had touched Marcel, he would have been kicked off, too.
- Sam (Talbot) is working for the next 3 months feeding victims of Superstorm Sandy, with Mike D of the Beastie Boys...

- I think this rock climbing surfer dude Marcel livens up any cooking show he is on. I loved the bromance. And he's foxy. Loved his show Quantam Kitchen. Too bad it was on Syfy.
Most of the other chefs are so bitter, pissy and negative, I don't enjoy watching them.
- R11 is right, Sam Kass is TOTALLY hot. And he is 1/2 of the duo who invented "Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock". Smart, hot, funny AND can cook. YUM.

- R13 If Marcel is such a genius fucking chef then how come he doesn't have his own restaurant?
Maybe be doesn't want one?
Seems to me working in some of the swankiest restaurants known to man, doing appearances, product lines and TV is much more financially safe.
- It also takes a fuckload of money to open a restaurant. Or you need investors. Marcel doesn't seem to be the type that has the social skills (read TACT) to deal with investors.
- Marcel has a pop-up restaurant called COOP that does really well.
- Nate Appleman is a bitter ugly tattooed midget jealous of the bromance.
- Nate kept saying the bromance is disrespecting the Iron Chef. Lighten up.

What are you talking about? He got thrown out immediately after the attack. There was no judging. Tom Coldickio was so mad and wanted to eliminate everyone involved and declare Marcel the winner of Top Chef by default but Bravo wouldn't let him.
- Ludo Lefebvre = hot!

I remember this because it was the last time I bothered watching Top Chef. After the others were allowed to stay and that guy beat Marcel in the end, I figured it was all rigged from the beginning anyways.
- Love Sam Kass. He is so fucking hot.
- Won't watch anything with Spike in it. He is gross.
Ain't enough hairnets and rubber gloves in the world to protect food from his stank.
- Nate Appleman seems like a big closet case.
- [quote]Tom Coldickio was so mad and wanted to eliminate everyone involved and declare Marcel the winner of Top Chef by default but Bravo wouldn't let him.
Too bad, because Ilan remains the worst winner of the show. What an asshole.
- wrong, r26.
Tom said Cliff's dish would have sent him home anyway.
Yes, Tom wanted to kick them all off, including Elia, but he sill said Cliff had the weakest dish.

WRONG. Two different guys.
- Marcel has a delightful, warm, moist, peppery and inviting anus...
- Is Marcel the little queeny one who says he is "bi"?
cue%20eye%20roll%20sequence
- Hung's the one who implied he was bi.
Ilan had some sexually fueled fixation on Marcel that came to a head when he instigated the attack and filmed it for his spank bank. Even though he has a kid now, the unrequited crush was so obvious.
- Honestly, I think he's insanely hot. I felt that way during Top Chef, and I still feel that way during Iron Chef. I would be all over him. Hopefully he goes for short, curvy girls. haha

- Sam Talbot is insanely hot.
- Une fromage coque.
- For some reason Marcel creeps me out. A lot.
- Me too, r41. But I would marry him anyway.
Akbar
- I think they both look dirty and I don't like either one.
- I think Tom Colicchio is the hotest and his attitude makes me hard. Hugh Acheson also gets me going.
- r20, it's not the same Sam Kass for goodness' sake.

- I saw a pic of Sam Talbot's feets and I fainted.
- mmmm. Hugh Acheson is so hot. I want him to bend over and present his hole to me. I would eat that for days. You can just tell he has a hot, clean hole.
- I thought Sam Talbot was married then discovered his Brazilian wife dumped him after less than a year because Sam was fucking some Real Housewife whore.
- Yay for Marcel winning the latest challenge.
- [R11]
I think he is hot, he can pick from my garden
- I just can't past Marcel's hair. It makes his head look like a head of garlic.
- It's been a long time since he had that puffed up hair-do.
- Chefs are my rock stars.
I agree that Marcel used to be a childish douche, but he really has grown up and is quite likeable now. His appearing on The Next Iron Chef is a big Eff You to Bravo. He was very disappointed in the way he was portrayed on TC All Stars.
I went to one of Hugh Acheson's book signings at William Sonoma and tried some chatty banter with him when it was my turn in line. He was a lot shorter than I expected him to be, but is otherwise just as good looking in person, if not more. He seemed a little nervous (the store was mobbed with shoppers) and maybe a little shy.
I just watched an episode of No Reservations that featured Tony traveling through Burgundy with Chef Ludo. Chef Ludo is certainly a charmer---they visited the village where he grew up and did some heavy drinking with Ludo's old friends. I had to fast forward through the part where they slaughtered a goat. (I'm a vegetarian and can't take it.) Apparently the owner of the farm wanted Ludo to choose the goat they would eat for dinner and he refused. Love Ludo.
I also think Chef Tim Love is sexy. He's a huge cowboy and I love the scale of a big man like that. I'm not into country, but I'm into him ever since we made during a torrid dream.
I have also met Richard Blais several times while dining at his various restaurants, but not since he dropped all of that baby fat. He was like a chubby little elf and was surprisingly chatty with diners.
I could debate the charm (or lack of) TV chefs for days.
