Sister Pearl's World - Dear Top Chef Judges

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

Dear Top Chef Judges

openletters:

Thank you for redeeming yourselves this season. After previous injustices (e.g., eliminating Sam and Elia in favor of Marcel and Ilan, and allowing Lisa to get as far as she did in the competition), I was afraid you would make a poor decision in Season 4’s recent finale. I was all set to boycott any future seasons if Lisa won. She did not, and all is right with the world. I now can say that I honestly look forward to future seasons of your show.
Sincerely,
sisterpearl
