async_read (3 of 4 overloads)

Start an asynchronous operation to read a certain amount of data from a stream.

    typename AsyncReadStream,
    typename Allocator,
    typename ReadHandler>
void async_read(
    AsyncReadStream & s,
    basic_streambuf< Allocator > & b,
    ReadHandler handler);

This function is used to asynchronously read a certain number of bytes of data from a stream. The function call always returns immediately. The asynchronous operation will continue until one of the following conditions is true:

This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's async_read_some function, and is known as a composed operation. The program must ensure that the stream performs no other read operations (such as async_read, the stream's async_read_some function, or any other composed operations that perform reads) until this operation completes.

The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support the AsyncReadStream concept.

A basic_streambuf object into which the data will be read. Ownership of the streambuf is retained by the caller, which must guarantee that it remains valid until the handler is called.

The handler to be called when the read operation completes. Copies will be made of the handler as required. The function signature of the handler must be:

void handler(
  const boost::system::error_code& error, // Result of operation.

  std::size_t bytes_transferred           // Number of bytes copied into the
                                          // buffers. If an error occurred,
                                          // this will be the  number of
                                          // bytes successfully transferred
                                          // prior to the error.

Regardless of whether the asynchronous operation completes immediately or not, the handler will not be invoked from within this function. Invocation of the handler will be performed in a manner equivalent to using boost::asio::io_service::post().

This overload is equivalent to calling:

Princess Hathaway is blooming into a movie star

NEW YORK -- When you burst onto movie screens as a 17-year-old unknown in ''The Princess Diaries," a sleeper comedy that goes on to gross a whopping $108 million, the movie (and the part of sweet, clumsy Princess Mia) tends to follow you around.

When you follow it up with another princess role (''Ella Enchanted"), then a ''Princess Diaries" sequel, it's no wonder Anne Hathaway, now a Vassar/NYU-educated 23-year-old, gets a little skittish about being typecast.

As she likes to say: ''Before I was a princess, I was an actress."

In a trio of new films -- ''Brokeback Mountain" in theaters, ''Havoc" on DVD, and the recently wrapped ''The Devil Wears Prada" -- Hathaway is playing off her sweet-face image in ways that might make the devil blush.

With her ''Brokeback" work, Hathaway has repositioned herself as a maturing actress, but when she went up for the role of Lureen, the bitchy wife of Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), she had a number of concerns:

First was that she was being stunt cast -- her goody-goody image being used to make the movie's gay cowboy theme more palatable to the parents of her ''Princess" fans.

''Although I don't have that big a name," she said earlier this month, ''with 13-year-olds, I'm huge."

She was therefore thrilled to find out that she had gotten the part based solely on her audition.

Upon reading the Annie Proulx short story on which the film is based, Hathaway had a second concern -- her character is barely mentioned.

No problem there, either. One of the goals of screenwriters Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana was to flesh out the women.

A third concern arose once Hathaway got the role. During auditions she told director Ang Lee that she could ride a horse, but that was basically wishful thinking.

''You say yes to everything in the audition, short of one thing," she said.

So in her research time leading up to production, Hathaway also learned to ride.

She was so good in the saddle that the stuntwoman brought in to ride for her was told they probably wouldn't need her.

''But on the day of the shoot they switched horses on me and put me on a real barrel-racing horse.

''I pulled on the reins, he stopped . . . and I kept going."

Thrown, in front of 300 extras.

''I was scarlet with embarrassment," she said. ''They used the stuntwoman."

As for Lureen, who's first seen as a vivacious, raven-haired cowgirl and last seen as a worn-down, life-weary blonde (''As Jack turned to whiskey, Lureen turned to bleach"), Hathaway called the character a ''predator at her core."

''I never looked at Lureen as anything other than what happens when you're not honest in a relationship," she said.

As for Hathaway, she'll soon be off to Ethiopia to do volunteer work for CARE, following up on a trip to Africa she made for an Angelina Jolie documentary, which she says gave her a new perspective on life.

She's had very little free time recently, thanks to publicity for ''Brokeback" and a rigorous shooting schedule for ''Prada," in which she plays the put-upon assistant to a top magazine editor.

''I'm a little exhausted," she said, sunk down on a couch, ''because I'm in nearly every shot, so I've been working 75- [to] 90-hour weeks. But when it rains it pours, and I'm very lucky to be in this situation.

With her latest roles, Hathaway is on the cusp of crossing over from teen star to movie star. But she's more concerned about simply being an actress.

''You can't make yourself a star. That's something that only other people can do for you. You can certainly make yourself a celebrity, but I think it should happen from circumstance and not from any of your own scheming or pushing," she said.

''As far as being an actress goes, if I can have a few jobs a year for the rest of my life, you won't find anyone happier than me."

text: Last night made me wonder if maybe the patriots (and the colts) both play thier best football coming back in the fourth.  It seems like they both have no problem running up the score early, but when it comes down to it they struggle to maintain a tight lead in crunch time and play too conservative.  Yet when brady gets the ball with 2 minutes to go and 2 time outs, its practically given that the patriots will score and win the game.  I'd like to hear what people have to say, colts trolls can chime in too

Celtics Notebook

They couldn’t bear Bruins repeat

Players know next win toughest to get

WALTHAM — The Celtics don’t have to go very far to be reminded of what can happen in the playoffs — good and bad — when a team takes a 3-0 lead in a series.

In 2004, the Red Sox made history by rallying from a three-game deficit to defeat the Yankees in the American League Championship Series, four games to three. The Sox then swept the Cardinals for their first World Series title in 86 years.

Just recently, though, there was the Bruins’ epic collapse against the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, when they squandered a 3-0 series lead.

Did the Bruins’ playoff demise serve as a cautionary tale for the Celtics after their 94-71 victory in Game 3 Saturday night gave them a three-games-to-none lead over the Magic?

“Well, it should be,’’ said coach Doc Rivers yesterday during practice in preparation for tonight’s Game 4 at the Garden. “I know you guys will make it [a cautionary tale], so I don’t even have to worry about that. The greatest part — and probably the toughest part — about playing sports or coaching sports in Boston is the history. Everyone’s going to remind you of the good history, and everyone’s going to remind you of the bad history.

“So, in some ways, it could be a benefit for us.’’

Though Kevin Garnett acknowledged “closeout games are the hardest, the most difficult’’ games to win, he was quick to point out, “This is not hockey,’’ when asked if he had any concerns about the Celtics suffering the same fate as the Bruins.

“I’m not even looking at that,’’ he said. “The Bruins are not the Celtics and the Celtics are not the Bruins. It’s apples and oranges.’’

The Celtics don’t intend on suffering any letdowns against Orlando, which is on the verge of making NBA history by becoming the first team to get swept after advancing to the conference finals by sweeping in the first two rounds.

“This team is not complacent,’’ said forward Paul Pierce. “I think we’re too close to our goal. You’ve got a team that’s won a championship and we know what it takes and we understand the mental toughness that you’ve got have at this point in the season.

“I don’t see any slippage from us and I think we’re going to close this out [tonight].’’

Right into it
If there has been a common denominator in the Celtics’ victories, it has been their highly-energized first quarters. The Celtics have outscored the Magic, 76-54, in the first quarter, including 27-12 in Game 3.

In all three games, Pierce has set the tone by sticking the first basket of the game.

Asked if he was looking for Pierce to do that again, Garnett said, “Paul’s play has been amazing throughout our whole run. I think people looked at the Cleveland series like he was [depleted] or whatever, but he did so many smart things from attacking and getting guys easy baskets. [So] coming into a series like this, it’s not as physical as the Cleveland series, but you have to anticipate that he was going to come out and have big games.

“He’s been our driving force,’’ Garnett added. “He and [Rajon] Rondo have made it light on everybody around here.’’

Kudos for Garnett
Garnett’s improved health, which has led to his much-improved play in the playoffs, has not been lost on his teammates.

“Well, it’s obvious,’’ Pierce said. “You see the way he’s rebounding the ball, his shooting percentage is up, the way he’s sprinting downcourt. It’s obvious.

“You see it the way he’s catching lobs, going up, and the way he’s finishing.’’

Pierce said that without Garnett the team couldn’t win a championship.

“I mean, a lot of these other guys on the team are replaceable,’’ he said. “I’m replaceable, probably, Ray [Allen’s] probably replaceable, Rondo, but you can’t replace Kevin.

“I mean, you see the difference last year when we didn’t have him to now in this playoff run. His intangibles, he’s smart — the things he does out there on the court are just irreplaceable for a guy his size.’’

This is different
After suffering their worst home playoff loss, 124-95, in Game 3 against the Cavaliers May 7, the Celtics have six consecutive victories, their second-longest winning streak of the season. Boston won 11 in a row from Nov. 22-Dec. 14. “I think we’re hitting our stride,’’ Pierce said. “It just shows you what champions are made of, the heart of a champion. We know when we come out like that, we’re tough to beat.’’

Asked if this playoff run rekindled any memories of the Celtics’ championship run in 2008, Pierce replied, “You know what, ’08 is going to be ’08. I don’t like trying to compare this team to that team. It’s the same type of roll, but I just think this is a different team. What’s happened to this team is totally different to what happened to that ’08 team.

“That ’08 team, that was our first time in the playoffs together. The difference here is that you’ve got a veteran team that’s been in the playoffs and understands what it takes. Before, we had to learn our way in the playoffs, being our first time in it together. Now it’s a different game, so now we know what the playoffs are all about and we’re a little more comfortable, whether we’re playing at home or on the road. It’s a lot different than ’08.

“The goal has never changed, that’s the thing,’’ Pierce added. “A lot of people were surprised when we beat Cleveland or got out of the first round [against Miami]. But, at the end of the day, our goal is to win the championship, and to see that we’re still on that path toward our goal feels great.’’

Boston Bar Launches Statewide Task Force to Expand Civil Legal Aid in MA

Saying that "too many poor people now face eviction or an abusive spouse without a lawyer to help them navigate an often complex legal system," Boston Bar Association (BBA) President J.D. Smeallie today announced the creation of a twenty-seven person statewide task force that will determine the unmet need for civil legal aid across the state and examine the most cost effective way to meet that need.

"This first stage will involve determining which geographic and demographic segments of the Commonwealth are in greatest need of civil legal aid, but not getting it," said Smeallie. "As part of this initial stage, we will seek to quantify the expected cost of providing civil legal aid to those in need, as well of the economic benefits or cost savings to the state associated with providing counsel in matters such as evictions and domestic violence. Our analysis will also attempt to determine which geographic areas and populations would offer the greatest return on funds directed toward increased civil legal aid," Smeallie added.

The second stage of the task force's effort will focus on identifying various ways to deliver civil legal aid in the most cost effective manner. "There may be opportunities to provide legal assistance to poor people which does not require the presence of a lawyer in every instance," said Smeallie. "The Massachusetts Access to Justice Commission has done some terrific work in this area and we will look for their thoughts and ideas in that regard."

The BBA task force expects to release its recommendations within one year, and will be modeled on a similar study performed in New York State.

Those on the roster of the BBA Statewide Task Force on Civil Legal Aid in Massachusetts include:

J.D. Smeallie - Partner at Holland & Knight, President of the Boston Bar Association (Chair)
Susan Alexander - Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer at Biogen Idec Inc.

Greeks strike, march in protest against austerity

A protester tried to pass through a riot police cordon during a 24-hour general strike in Athens on Wednesday.

A protester tried to pass through a riot police cordon during a 24-hour general strike in Athens on Wednesday.

ATHENS, Greece — Tens of thousands of anti-austerity demonstrators took to the streets of Athens on Wednesday as unions staged a general strike to protest government spending cuts and tax hikes, which some predict will push unemployment to an alarming 30 percent.

Police said as many as 40,000 people participated in two separate marches in central Athens. Limited clashes broke out when hooded youths threw fire bombs and stones at riot police, who responded with tear gas. No arrests or injuries were immediately reported.

Continue reading below

‘‘We are protesting about [reduced] pensions, emergency taxes, the high cost of life,’’ said retired factory worker Kyriakos Anastassiadis.

Unions are pressing for the renewal of binding collective labor contracts, instead of individual deals that allow employers greater leverage in defining salary levels. They are also asking the government to support the crumbling labor market, where about 1,000 jobs have been lost daily since 2010.

‘‘The government wants to further lower our salaries and destroy unions,’’ said unionist Vassilis Epicarithis, an aircraft engineer.

The 24-hour nationwide walkout disrupted domestic flights, kept ferries and long-distance trains idle, and crippled public services. It was the first general strike of the year, renewing confrontation between labor groups and the conservative-led government that has pursued punishing austerity policies to cut debt — a key condition imposed by international bailout creditors.

State schools and tax offices closed down, public hospitals functioned on emergency staff, court cases were stalled as lawyers walked off the job, and even neighborhood street fruit and vegetable markets were cancelled. Private doctors and dentists also joined the strike.

In Athens, police said about 25,000 people marched toward Parliament with banners such as ‘‘We won’t become slaves in the 21st century,’’ in a demonstration organized by the main public and private sector unions. Earlier, some 15,000 members of a Communist Party-affiliated labor union protested peacefully along the same route.

Past protests have been marred by clashes between riot police and anarchists. Up to 3,000 police officers were on duty for the Athens street rallies.

In the northern city of Thessaloniki, some 17,000 protested peacefully.

Conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has won praise from bailout lenders for pushing through major cost-cutting measures after forming a three-party coalition last June.

But a new round of tax increases this year and a surge in unemployment to 27 percent have angered unions, as Greeks battle a rapid increase in poverty during a sixth year of recession.

In recent weeks, the Samaras government has twice used rare emergency powers to force an end to strikes by workers on ferry services and the Athens subway.

‘‘The Greek people have no tolerance left,’’ Ilias Iliopoulos, general secretary of the civil servants union ADEDY, said. ‘‘For us, the time has come for a major confrontation with the government . . . and policies that are taking our country from bad to worse and leading people to poverty and desperation.’’

Unions are also angry at a government decision to scrap collective wage agreements across the public sector as part of an overhaul of state pay scales that will usher in further salary cuts.

Unemployment is expected to reach 30 percent this year, while national output will contract a further 4.1 percent, according to a study by a government funded research agency published last week. By the end of the year, the Greek economy is forecast to have shrunk 25 percent since 2008, a year before the crisis started.

At this rate, will the Red Sox ever lose?

Worst to first, and led by rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. Two games into the season, this is the theme of the 2013 Red Sox.

Kathy Willens/Associated Press

Worst to first, and led by rookie Jackie Bradley Jr. Two games into the season, this is the theme of the 2013 Red Sox.

NEW YORK — They may never lose.

They may never trail.

Worst to first. Two games into the season, this is the theme of the 2013 Red Sox.

And is it possible for Jackie Bradley Jr. to be the Face of the Franchise after only two games in the big leagues?

Pump some air into the Duck Boat tires. Get going with the 2013 commemorative bricks. Maybe the phony sellout streak will live longer than we thought.

Continue reading it below

The Red Sox trashed the Yankees again Wednesday night, rattling 13 hits around the yard in a 7-4 victory over the erstwhile Bronx Bombers. For the second straight game, JBJ was right in the middle of things. Bradley reached base twice in the first three innings, scored two more runs, and drove home a run with his first major league hit.

“It feels good to be able to help out,’’ said the sweet-faced Virginian. “When you win, it’s easy to have fun.’’

He is just what the Dr. (Charles Steinberg) ordered for the image-tarnished Red Sox. They want you to forget about the past. They want you to think about the present. And the future.

“We’re starting a new season,’’ Bradley had said after Monday’s electric debut. “You can’t control the past. You have to look forward. I hope it’s going to be a good year. I guess I really wasn’t part of what happened in the past, but we’re leaving it in the past.’’

Bingo. Leave it behind. This is 2013 and there will be no more goofball comments by Bobby Valentine. No more coaches who don’t talk to the manager. No more games started by Daisuke Matsuzaka and Aaron Cook. No more James Loney batting cleanup. No more lineups with Scott Podsednik, Mauro Gomez, and Danny Valencia.

Poor Pedro Ciriaco. He arrived from oblivion last year and did a nice job for the 2012 Red Sox, but his name became synonymous with Boston’s worst baseball team in 47 years. The September Sox of 2012 were the Pedro Ciriaco All-Stars. Ciriaco is back this season as a utility infielder, but he might have trouble seeing the field just because his mere presence reminds us of the Season That Must Not Be Named.

Now it is 2013 and it’s all about JBJ.

Bradley was the big story in New York in Game 1, an 8-2 Sox victory. He changed the game when he drew an 0-and-2 walk against CC Sabathia in his first big league at-bat. Then he beat a throw to second. He knocked in a run. He reached base three times. He made a spectacular catch in left. When Joe Castiglione interviewed him after the game, and presented the kid with a gift certificate to a North End eatery, Bradley said, “Thank you. I like restaurants.’’

He went to Applebee’s with his family during the offday.

JBJ unleashed the cornrows before Wednesday night’s game. He was rockin’ the ’fro as the Sox prepared to face Hiroki Kuroda with the temperature 43 degrees.

While he was on deck in the second inning, Van Morrison’s “Jackie Wilson Said” blared from the Yankees sound system. Pretty good. Jackie Bradley Jr. is named after Jackie Bradley Sr., a bus driver/policeman, who was named after soul man Jackie Wilson.

Bradley was hit by a pitch in the second and came around to score.

Facing Cody Eppley in Boston’s four-run third, Bradley drilled a 2-2 pitch into center field for his first major league hit. Brett Gardner tossed the ball into Robinson Cano, who had the presence of mind to relay the ball into the Sox dugout. At that point, Bradley had reached base five times in seven big league plate appearances.

After an 0-6 (and 2-10) start in 2011, and a 1-5 stink bomb last year, the Sox’ 2-0 start has gotten our attention. They have not started 2-0 since 1999 and they have not scored seven or more runs in their first two games on the road since 1919, the final year of Babe Ruth with the Sox. In today’s culture of nonstop information and zero attention span, the Sox thus far have reinvented themselves as gritty underdogs with a chance to get back to the playoffs. The perception has changed overnight, it seems.

Maybe they won’t be that bad. Maybe they have a shot. The bullpen is loaded with power arms. Lester is back. Too many good players. Will there be room for David Ortiz when he is healthy?

The one-day trend is a relatively new phenomenon for a baseball team. Back in the day, when the season truly was a marathon, not a sprint, it took a couple of months to inspire worthy evaluation. Now we do it after one game. Or two. Maybe it’s necessary after the abysmal Sox starts of the last couple of years.

“The last two years are still in the front of everybody’s mind,’’ said Sox starter/winner Clay Buchholz. “It’s definitely a big confidence-builder to win the first two games here.’’

New manager John Farrell — who watched the Sox’ implosion from the visitors dugout last summer (and his Jays barely fnished ahead of the 69-win Sox), said, “I don’t know how much guys pay attention to what’s talked about on the outside. Hopefully change the expectations. Our guys, starting with the last day of last year, are looking forward to re-writing what happened last year.’’

Pretty good so far.

Lost hikers found on NH trail - 0 Comments

JAFFREY, N.H. — Search crews have come to the aid of some hikers who got lost on a school field trip at New Hampshire's Monadnock State Park.

The three hikers became separated Tuesday afternoon from the rest of the group from the Northfield Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts. They lost the trail and called one of the teacher chaperones.

Second time around

Second time around

The Patriots have mixed results in the playoffs when taking on a team they played in the regular season, which they’ll do Sunday against the Texans.

Bill Belichick’s Pats are 8-6 in playoff games against teams they’ve played in the regular season, but that’s clearly skewed in one direction. After going 5-0 from 2001-04, they are 3-6 since beating the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.

In addition, all six of the Pats’ playoff losses under Belichick have come against teams they’ve already played.

FIRST-PERSON: Making good choices

NAPLES, Fla. (BP) -- Life is a continuous series of choices. Big ones are obvious. Go to this college. Marry this woman. Break off the engagement. Take that job. Start a business.

Buy that company. Have children. Move to this city. Have the operation. Buy that house. Make this investment. Retire now. Retire here. These and other major decisions alter outcomes in ways hard to see at the time.

What if you'd married your high school girlfriend? Chosen to start in another city? Gone to a different college? Majored in something else? Stayed with your first company? Remained single? Questions. Roads not taken.

The possibilities are inexhaustible. If only we'd known the thousands of outcomes available to us when we were laying out the blueprint of our lives and making our choices.

Where do good choices come from? Experience plays a big part. Healthy people want more of the good and less of the bad. We learn at an early age that choosing bad behavior has consequences. That it's better to be praised and hugged than scolded and punished. Our choices influence the quality of our life and the lives of those around us.

While growing up, I saw plenty of good choices and plenty of bad. My father could be tender and pleasant to be with -- until something snapped and he turned dark. We never knew when Mr. Hyde would show up and all hell would break loose.

I figured that was just the way it was and navigated around his tantrums. My mother's reaction was to lock us in the basement or pack us up in the car for a quick getaway until the storm blew through and Good Dad returned.

My mother was the main target of his vitriol. He hated and loved her, but with an infantile love. Like a child with a temper railing against his parents, he enjoyed being the "enfant terrible." We were led to believe he was mentally ill, with a split personality.

While a reasonable explanation at the time, it confused me because I also observed him at work and out in public. Mr. Hyde never showed up in those places. The safety and security of our home was his private stomping ground. There, he frequently gave in to his lower nature. He possessed the ability to behave otherwise, but allowed self-centered, sinful urges to take charge. Bad choices.

It wasn't until I was married, and saw milder versions of the same patterns in my behavior toward Sandy, that I got it. I saw in myself some of the urges my father must have seen. The choices with which he was likely confronted, and the lower road he took.

Fortunately, with the help of my wife, I learned to see the wisdom of a different path. She's gentle and loving in every respect and hates conflict of all sorts. She let me know in no uncertain terms, however, that disrespectful, rude and childish behavior had no place in her life and our home.

This was announced early in our third year of marriage, while we sat with my mother on our screened side porch with a spread of corned beef, Swiss cheese, mustard, rye, full-sour pickles, potato salad and mixed fruit salad -- courtesy of my mother.

I'd just made up my sandwich and plate. It was on my lap. I gave thanks to God for the food, but not to my mother. Sandy prompted me to thank her too. Simple enough, wouldn't you say? Not for me. Not back then. It made me feel like a child being scolded, rather than a husband being reminded.

My Old Man pride and caveman defenses kicked in, coming out as, "I'll thank her in my time and on my terms. But thank you (sarcastically) for the lesson in manners."

Bad choice! As soon as the words were out of my mouth, my life flashed in front of me. I knew I'd crossed into the dangerous territory I later came to know and refer to as "Sandy's Red Line." This is a place you don't want to go. One reserved for those rare instances in which she's provoked to a point of no return. And there I was. I knew it. She knew it. My mother sensed it.

After a few seconds, which seemed like minutes, Sandy calmly got up, walked over, tipped my well-prepared plate all over me, and walked into the house.

I was speechless. My mother was dumbfounded. I'm sure she was also privately pleased, wishing she'd done the tipping.

I just sat there. Food dripping. Mustard staining. Lunch lost. Utter absurdity. Foolish behavior met by an appropriate response. I knew I had met my match.

That incident stood out as a declaration of war. It might as well have read, "WARNING: From this time forward, all nasty behavior will be met with a proper response." Like a defiant child, I crossed that line all too often in our early years and was justifiably smacked down. Sandy showed me the consequences of my bad behavior, of choosing to indulge my Old Man.

I've wised up over the years as my New Man has occupied more real estate in my life. I've discovered that living with love and harmony is sweeter than snarling from the doghouse. That enjoying a good sandwich with my wife is better than cleaning up a tossed one.

This has been more than a Pavlovian response to punishment avoidance. It's been a conscious preference to live out of my New Man, to choose and continue to choose, day by day, sometimes minute by minute, my higher nature.

Cast Blog: #TOPCHEF

Totsiens, Lizzie

Gail Simmons explains her disappointment over Lizzie's elimination. So, now we’re in Alaska.
Gail Simmons: Alaska, wow. Alaska blew my mind. It was one of the most beautiful, lonely places I have ever been. I’m from Canada, so that’s saying a lot in terms of arctic tundra. Let me just say, a lot of crazy stuff went down for all of us in Alaska. We have Sean Brock as guest judge.
GS: Yes, I’m a huge Sean Brock fan. He’s such a talent. He’s a really loyal Southern boy who was brought to the most northern point of the United States.

Anyway, I loved the first challenge; we ate lunch at that crab shack there every single day. There are only a few places we could really eat in Juneau; we ate breakfast at a diner, lunch at the crab shack, and dinner at our hotel every day. The whole crew. We ate so much Alaskan King crab. And you just can’t get it in the rest of the country the way you get it there. I thought all four chefs did really outstanding job in the  Quickfire; they were creative, it was beautiful, and I’m sure it was hard for Sean to choose. Moving on to the Elimination Challenge: Salmon and Sourdough!
GS: The day before this challenge, Emeril, Hugh, Tom, and I went fishing, and it was on a salmon run and it was spawning season, but we weren’t fishing for salmon. It was this amazing river, and it really was one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever spent on Top Chef. Tom caught a lot of fish, just for the record. And the girl of the group caught almost more fish than anyone else. Apparently in fly fishing, women are better at it than men because they have a more gentle wrist because they’re not used to throwing footballs. I had a nice fish-catching day.

As for the sourdough, they had a 30-year-old starter, and I think they did a really good job  with the sourdough. It is not necessarily the most challenging bread, but making any bread is difficult because it’s dependent on the humidity and the temperature and the pan that you’re making it in. I think that they all actually did a pretty good job with their bread. This is the first time I can ever remember that we’ve asked the chefs to make bread. Besides just on the show, and it really is kind of treacherous. Making bread can be very therapeutic. Meanwhile, Josh's wife is almost ready to give birth, which made me so nervous the whole time. I can’t imagine how anxious he was and the stress he was under, and the thoughts that were racing through his mind, not being able to be with his wife. But, he was doing it for the cause. Let’s start with Josh’s dish, the Roasted Garlic Sourdough Soup with Sockeye Salmon & Black Olive Croutons.
GS: I remember thinking that the idea for the soup was perfectly wonderful, especially for the cold weather. I also have a very distinct memory of the dish being very garlic-y. If you put garlic in soup, that’s OK, but when you’re mixing it with something as fatty as salmon, it gets very aggressive and tends to overpower the rest of the dish. The black olive croutons were wonderful because they gave the dish a little texture, which balanced out the fat really nicely. It was a rustic dish, a dish to curl up with on cold nights with a fire. Josh’s cooking is very direct, which I like, but when you’re balancing soup with salmon, you need to really pull back and sort of restrain. Sheldon's bread didn't seem to work, and he got comments about the smokiness of his salmon.
GS: I really admire Sheldon for taking two ingredients that are so far from the ingredients that he usually works with and trying to infuse his own style and personality into them. Adding the matcha, too, was a valiant effort. I totally get what Sheldon was trying to do. That tea was already very tannic, and so it was too sour with the sourdough bread. I just think they didn’t really play well together. I just want to say, of all the breads, it was made very well, but the matcha wasn't a necessary choice.

We also gave Sheldon a hard time for using chum, because as we said over and over again, chum is what you feed the dog. But, you know what?! Lobster was something that they fed the dog for many, many years, until we discovered that it tastes good too. The type of salmon didn’t bother me. The smokiness really went well with the green tea and the salmon; it was really bright and fresh, and because it was warm, it felt appropriate. And the soup was so smooth and bright green and beautiful. Delightful overall. I really enjoyed eating that dish. And Brooke won with her Sockeye Salmon & Seafood Broth with Mustard Seed Caviar & Dill Sourdough.
GS: Whereas the matcha was a clash with the sourdough, using dill with the sourdough really enhanced it. I love dill and it really goes well with salmon, especially with that little hint of savoriness that the dill added. And her dish was just technically so finessed. The mustard  seed with salmon, obviously… the broth took a lot of time to reduce, and there was a lot of flavor in that broth. There were just a lot of beautiful little touches and detail in her dish, and I think she was nervous because Tom gave her a hard time. There was nothing we could say about Brooke’s dish that wasn’t complimentary because she did a really terrific job. For bread and for salmon, she nailed the challenge. And poor Lizzie went home.
GS: Lizzie! Oh, Lizzie. I think I cried three times, watching this. I have so enjoyed having her on the show with us, and she’s such a talented cook. She reminded me of Tiffany Derry or Carla Hall in that people underestimated her and she didn’t make a lot of noise with her food. Everything she cooked this season, she was never the boldest or the most outlandish or even the most creative, but her food was always so thoughtful and just the kind of food that I would be happy to eat all the time. It was delicious, it was heated well, she has clearly a lot of talent. But with this dish, she made some errors. Her bread was the best bread we ate all day, quite frankly. The problem was that the rolls were so large in proportion to the salmon that you just lost the salmon, and it just became kind of a salmon sandwich, and at the end of the game we were expecting more from her, first of all. And second of all, we didn’t get enough flavor. When she explained the dish to us, the citrus and the beets are great complements to salmon, but she glazed the salmon, and she should have marinated it to really infuse the flavors, and so it was just glazed at the end of the cook time and then put it on a very large roll that was very bready, it just sort of got lost. It was a great idea, but we just needed more flavor and more ambition. Very, very sad to see her go, and she will be missed. And to her I say Totsiens, which is Afrikaans word for "good-bye" and "see you later."

Richard: "Gregory Had the Better Ideas"

Richard Blais explains why Mei Lin won, and why we'll definitely be hearing from Gregory Gourdet soon.

The finale of Top Chef is the one absolute every season. Make the best meal of your life, in a multi-course tasting format for a room of the "who's who" in the culinary industry.

If you get to the finals, it's the type of thing you can prepare for. Every finalist should have a few four to five course menus floating around their heads, including a dessert, and all complete with options and Plan B's transcribed to their moleskins. And although the knowledge of what's coming is helpful, the format does not play to every chef's strengths.

There aren't too many restaurants committed to such meal services. Which means less chefs experienced with how to "write" and execute them. A progressive meal has to have a certain flow about it. And even the stereotypical versions of the "menu degustation" could force a contestant into cooking a dish that's not in their wheelhouse, for instance a straight forward fish course because "it belongs there."

Tonight, Mei Lin has a slight advantage. She cooks in a restaurant every day that showcases a tasting menu. Her food has been the epitome of a modern tasting menu all season. Many previous times, to a fault. Mei's food is small and precise. Beautiful to look at, and intellectually stimulating to discuss. Cold sometimes, every once in a while a shaved radish plated with tweezers heavy. It's not for everyone. It's not for everyday. But it's the type of food that when done well, can win Top Chef. Win James Beard Award noms. Win Best New Chef honors. Win Michelin stars.

Her future could indeed be bright.

What struck me most about Mei's food tonight however, wasn't technique. Technique and presentation often can get in the way of flavor. But tonight Mei delivered a few courses that were deeply satisfying. Soulful, delicious food that also was presented at a high level and cooked with surgeon's precision. That congee though...combined with a simple dessert that took yogurt and granola to another planet, won her the day. Her other two courses were fine, but suffered from the strains of modernity. Overly plated (the duck) and technically overwrought (the fried octopus).

Gregory on the other hand, it's just not his finest work. You can hear it in his voice as he's explaining his food. He's cooking improv, an ode to Mexico. The problem is, this isn't a jam session at a local cantina. This is a studio session where the chefs should be cooking practiced and refined pieces.

His octopus was a highlight and featured the unusual combination of passion fruit and avocado. It was an explosive start. The following two courses unraveled a bit, with the soup being good, but way too unrefined for the moment and technically problematic (the crispy shrimp heads), and the fish course bordering on dessert with the sugary carrot purée.

The mole was authentic and delicious, the rib cooked perfectly, but the dish felt a little incomplete. I believe Gregory had the better ideas, but just needed to think them through a bit more.

His sadness after the fact, I can attest, is profound. Tearful. Absolute emptiness. Close to the feeling of the sudden loss of a loved one. This may shock some of you, because it is indeed just a game. The mere thought of feeling that way over such silliness is well, silly. But not for us. This isn't the Super Bowl where an athlete loses and they can shake it off. Jump in their Bentley and start thinking about next season. There is no next season. There is no guaranteed pay day for the runner-up. The ten wins you had before don't matter. It just ends. Suddenly. And it's rather sad.

The good thing is, this is certainly, 100%, not the last time you will hear from Gregory. I waxed last week about Doug's professionalism, all of which is very true. But Gregory... Gregory is a special talent. His food (and I can say HIS type of food, because it's unique to him), is a study in refined, exotic comfort. What the man can do with a one-pot meal of braised anything, some chilies, sugar, vinegar, herbs, and spices is beyond impressive. Rarely do I taste food that makes me jealous as a cook. Rarely do I taste food that makes me start thinking about a new restaurant concept. The word inspiring in cooking competitions is sort of like the word "love," when it gets used too much, it loses it luster. Gregory's food however. I love it. It is inspiring.

Congrats to Mei and Gregory! Tom was right, I can't wait to one day say I saw you two way back when, in Mexico, in a little kitchen, before the bright lights, fancy kitchens, and big stages that lay ahead for both of you.

See you next season. I hope!
