“Emeril, my dear friend Gail Simmons has expressed an interest in eating beignets all night long. Could you cook her up some? I fear that if we don’t feed her, she’ll get very cranky, bless her heart.”

In case you’re wondering where the Top Chef photocap is, rest assured — I’m waiting for bravotv.com to get their act together. For whatever reason, their gallery from Wednesday’s episode is all wonky (as in, there’s only one photo in it), and that does not make for a good photocap. So please be patient, and if you’re feeling particularly hostile, send a missive to Andy Cohen.
