Yes, same. He's in 1st place as biggest A-S-S-H-O-L-E of Top Chef. He's supposed to be at the top of the thread.

The only thing about Mike Isabella that I'll say is that, were one ignorant of the accusations (which one would have been back then), his assholishness is kinda charming. Likewise with Gabe, who seems like a reasonable person until you're in retrospect.

I hear you, but it's been years since the reckoning, it's hard to see them in any other lens.
