Once again, I grudgingly confess to liking the conventionally attractive

Have you been watching Top Chef?

It's pretty good — good solid competitive reality entertainment, even though it will always be known to most as Not Project Runway.

Maybe I'll write more about Top Chef later — I'm procrastinating on a hundred different things right now — but they're billing this guy Sam as this season's hunk.  And normally when someone's billed as a hunk it makes me want to hate them immediately.  Do your own amateur psychology on that one.  But when I saw him in action this past episode (the ice cream/TGIFridays battle royale) I had to concede — damn, this guy's hot.

He looks a little cro-magnon-buys-an-H&M-wristband in this picture, but check him out in one of the weekend reruns.
