Oh, Toby. How Could You?

Yesterday I said that Toby Young, one of the judges for Top Chef, was trying too hard at first but seemed to be mellowing out (and good for him).

I apparently was wrong.

I'm wrong often, but I really thought that after the episode maybe Tom or Padma had pulled him aside and said "listen, man, it's just TV and we're really high in the rankings. There's no need to be that over the top or harsh. No need to try so hard. You're going to end up making a contestant kill themselves."

But I was wrong and in what is apparently true Toby Young fashion he liked a meal to that of Elvis Presley's life. An entire life equated with one meal. Stunning and impressive at first and then you die fat and drugged up on the toilet.

THAT is pretty harsh.

Shame on you, Toby.

Shame.
