Did you catch Amanda's cameo on this week's Restaurant Wars episode of Top Chef All-Stars? Along with Food & Wine Editor-in-Chief Dana Cowin, NBC Feast's Ben Leventhal and Gotham Gal's Joanne Wilson, Amanda saw firsthand the good, the bad and the ugly of the all-stars' duelling pop-up restaurants.

If you missed it, you can download the episode on iTunes here. Or read blow-by-blow (and we mean blow -- youch!) recaps of the episode over at Village Voice and The Washington Post.

I recorded the episode and just got around to watching it late last night. I recognized you, Dana and Ben. Thanks for not spoiling.

I tuned in JUST in time to see who I thought was you, so watched the repeat, yep, that was you and I couldn't understand what, but heard you voicing an opinion on what was being served.

It was such a surprise to see you Amanda! Was Fabio as charming as they make him seem?

Yes, maybe even more -- and he really runs the front-of-house like a master.
