Top Chef 5.0: LA’s Most Feared Critic Gave Fabio Viviani a ZERO - A Culinary “F” You

"I WONDER how they say 'bankruptcy' in Italian?"
This is pretty rough, kids.  Sure he’s lovable and quirky.  But, can he deliver?  Well, let’s just say that when the West Coast’s culinary DEEEEVA, S. Irene Virbila, writes the word “awful” in her review, that’s not a good thing:

"The 18-ounce rib-eye steak at $38.95 is so average that the grilled asparagus that comes with it outshines the beef. And the special sweetbread dish that night is as unattractive as can be, a long rectangular plate with the sweetbreads dribbled with a sticky red wine or Port reduction that's far too strong for the mild-mannered meat. Awful."

Ouch!!  Almost as painful as having a bichon frise grow out of your left leg!!
