        <![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap">M</span>arcel Vigneron, <em>Top Chef</em> runner-up, addresses the Clippergate incident once and for all, expresses his disappointment that the drama took precedence over the food, and explains that, in the end, cooking is about giving love&#8212;and he&#8217;s got more love than Ilan. Plus, the down-low on the hair and the rapping.</p>
