Ugly Betty, looking good at Lola

Ugly Betty, looking good -- if blurry -- at Lola.

Perhaps in deference to the site of the contest, the coastal Mexican restaurant located at 1575 Boulder Street, the contestants included several food-related get-ups. The cast of last season's Top Chef, for example, which rated runner-up status. Ditto for the couple dressed as Carrot and Celery, right down to a green face and 'fro above Carrot's orange outfit. But the duo that dressed up as a whole fish atop a Lola table, with a Big Red F chef right alongside, didn't bother with subtly influencing the judges, as you can see below.
