Time Out Chicago just pointed out the odd the disappearance of Graham Elliot Bowles’s last name on Masterchef last night. TOC briefly wondered whether his last name had been edited out for nefarious purposes, but found out that there was no controversy. Bowles is simply gone. So what happened? On Twitter, Graham Elliot (as he will be thenceforth be known as) commented that it was “just Graham Elliot,” and that his motivations were pure: “Droppin’ it…not a ‘Hollywood’ thing so don’t even go there…let’s just say it’s a ‘family’ thing.” The unintentional consequence of all this is that the newly Bowles-less Graham Elliot will now have a truly eponymous restaurant.
