So Much for an Ivy League Education

Stephen, the insufferable sommelier on this awesome show, made a big deal about his "ivy league education" to distinguish himself from the other, common, chefs in the competition. In the reunion episode last night he seemed to have humbled himself a little, perhaps from seeing his own greasy face on screen uttering some of the most arrogant nonsense ever to grace a reality-themed show. (In his closing speech after being voted off he declared that he was going to raise fine dining to a level of excellence heretofore unseen in this country.)

Pedants take note: do not brag about your education if you have trouble doing public arithmetic. When Stephen was asked whether Dave's pedestrian fare would win over the other, more experienced finalists, Stephen replied something to the effect of: "Tiffani and Harold are adept at cooking haute cuisine, which only represents 13% of the restaurants out there. The other 77% of the market is up for grabs."

Let's hope his sous chef does all the measuring.
