Emily Sprissler, who was recently dismissed from Top Chef, cuts loose in this interview on Chow.com. Not only does she trash the show’s sponsor, Kenmore, the show’s host, Padma, and the show’s producers for how they set things up, she also lays into Los Angeles:

Of course, the show is filmed in Los Angeles which should have been my first inclination to turn around and go home…

..we’re in Los Angeles. With a couple notable exceptions, I will say, for the most part it’s all, you know, celebrity owned trendy spots that aren’t, you know, changing the face of food. I just couldn’t believe it, I really felt that they were scimping out

I transcribed that from the interview, I think I got it right, but if not, let me know. The quote is about two or three minutes from the end.

Oh well, Emily is now back in the non-trendy mecca of Las Vegas at the Nobhill restaurant in the quite subtle MGM Grand Hotel and Casino (which I’m sure Emily hopes does not become trendy).
