Ted Allen on how best to cook Rupert Everrett

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy alum Ted Allen has long been a gay favorite of mine. So I was delighted when he was added to Season 3 of Top Chef not just because he's a great addition to the show, but it gave us the perfect reason to stalk interview him! And you can read that interview right this very second over on the main page!

Ted dishes about the upcoming season of Top Chef, his partner Barry, what a gay boy should cook for that new guy he's trying to impress, and how best to prepare out actor Rupert Everett. Here is how that bit of info came about:

AE: You're trapped on a deserted island with Tom Colicchio, Carson Kressley and Rupert Everett. Whom do you eat to survive, and how would you prepare them?
TA: First of all, I'm not eating Carson. He'd be all stringy. Carson is a little too lean. Tom Colicchio is a delicious-looking man, but I think I'd have to go with Rupert. Many of us in the community would find him the most delicious. If we're on a desert island, I'd dig a pit. Something spicy or sort of Caribbean would be good for Rupert Everett.

After the jump, you'll find more pics and a YouTube clip of Ted dispensing his great advice. Bon apetit!
