The Best Part of the New Season of Top Chef Just Desserts

…besides EVERYTHING…is watching the contestants get totally squicked out by the original fairy tales they’re supposed to transform into yummy sugar showpieces.

“Wait wait wait, the wolf EATS Little Red Riding Hood? And then, like, the hunter has to cut her out?”

And you’re all, oh, honey, in the 17th century French version, she doesn’t even GET cut out. Aren’t our nation’s adorable gay hipster pastry chefs reading Angela Carter books anymore? Fairy tales are BLEAK.

Also, if you really want to understand the art of the showpiece, you should be watching “Kings of Pastry,” the best and most emotional documentary about hopped-up French chefs ever made. It’s like “The Bourne Supremacy,” but with sugar flowers.
