Top Chef Masters judge Jay Rayner revealed on his Bravo blog that the show edited out a segment in which he lost his temper at the critics' table regarding fish chef Rick Moonen's use of New Zealand venison: "After weeks of singing 'We are the World' he decided to throw every single one of his self-serving homilies out the window and use a staggeringly unsustainable ingredient, which had been air freighted thousands of miles... I was furious. For weeks he had worn his green credentials on his sleeve, bigged himself up as the saviour of the planet... But, when it came to the last stage of a cooking competition, he shrugged it off. I felt like we'd been had, been spun a line by a shameless opportunist." [Bravo]
