Jewelry Should Not Upstage You. I Pick One Hot Point On My Body That I'm Going To Highlight. Let One Area Do The Singing - You Don't Want To Hear Three Songs At Once.

Part Of My Job As A Food Writer Is To Describe Food. So My Work On 'top Chef,' I Feel, Is An Extension Of That. When We Give A Criticism To The Contestant, We Want To Make Sure We Tell Them Why It's Not Working And Why It Would Work If They Did It A Different Way.
