We were so not even following Hosea that we never even took a look at his restaurant—Jax Fish House in Boulder—which does indeed look like it's got some Top Chef-quality recipes, like prosciutto wrapped pork chops in cider syrup and roasted cauliflower and madras curry bisque. Might have to check that one out, even though Hosea says he's moving on.

Hosea said he's definitely planning to open his own restaurant with the $100,000 prize money, but we're not holding our breaths. In fact, we're wondering if there isn't some kind of Top Chef curse—plenty of losing chef'testants have gone on to open successful restaurants, but after Harold from season one (who opened New York's Perilla), not a single one of the winners has been able to get it together to open a restaurant.

What gives? Where is Chez Ilan? Or House of Hung? Or Stephanie's long-rumored Chicago place? And Can Hosea break the Top Chef curse, or is he subject to spending the rest of his days making lame "surprise" appearances on future seasons and awkwardly fending off questions about kissing Leah?
