Top Cleft
In the tradition of a Brand Nubian song, "Marcels Go To Bars To Get Beat Down."
Marcel: This girl came up to me at a nightclub and asked me if I was Marcel from Top Chef. The next thing I knew, this bottle struck me, and my friends had to rush me to the hospital. I needed 30 stitches for this.
I didn't like the guy on the show, but I never insult or assault people that prepare or serve food. It's the kind of karma that comes back around to you, entirely too fast and all too wrong.

holy mackerel- so its not always cool to look a bit like a celebrity!
Angel,
If and when the show is aired over there, let me know if you think he was portrayed fairly. As the Missus pointed out to me about Marcel in an email:
"I also think he's in hardcore denial, about a lot of things. And that pisses people off, too --- if one's self-perception is not in line with reality, other people get angry, whether that self-image is negative or positive."
It does seem like he cheated a couple of times, but one can't be too sure, as he was only "caught" on film one time, and that could've been staged in post-production. Whether it was staged or not (as "Reality TV" is anything but), it seemed like he didn't have anyone left in his corner by the end of the competition.
