Will Obama give America an extreme makeover? Will the Europeans rule "Top Chef"? Plus: Gordon Ramsay breaks the swearing sound barrier!

    Great column

    I'm kind of with Colicchio. It would be nice if the chefs, at this level, knew the difference between medium and medium rare. Seriously.

    However, you make a great point about we Americans. We are getting to be a bit whiny of a lot. And Leah should definitely have been home. Before Jeff even. All she does is screw up, get mad, talk about how great she is at cooking fish, then screw up some more at preparing, cutting and cooking fish.

    Maybe we do have something to learn from the Europeans. This whole socialized medicine and free public university thing is intriguing too.
