    <h1>Rick Bayless Can Go "Screw Himself"</h1>
<h3>Dissing high-end Mexican food gets one chef the boot</h3>

    <p class="intro">In the latest episode of <i>Top Chef</i>, <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/4/bios/index.php?cat=chef&#38;p=erik">Erik Hopfinger</a> has to serve high-end Mexican cooking to <a href="http://www.rickbayless.com/">Rick Bayless</a>, the king of high-end Mexican cooking. And Erik just isn't on board. Padma helpfully declares that Chicago is "a city made up of neighborhoods." In one of those neighborhoods, there is a block party, where Erik's soggy corn dogs (chefs: <a href="http://www.chow.com/stories/11019">Lose the sog</a>) are a bust, but as he explains to Meredith Arthur, he's happy to be set free and has some thoughts about what <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/4/bios/index.php?cat=chef&#38;p=andrew">Andrew</a>'s on. Chowhounds have <a href="http://www.chowhound.com/topics/503141">thoughts of their own</a>.</p>
