Top Chef: Dueling Chefs

Top Chef: Chicago Anything You Can Cook I Can Cook Better I’ve always wanted to go to Chicago since I have heard there is awesome food there. I still haven’t been, but I’m excited that the new season of this show is set up there. Everyone meets up at...

Top Chef: Poor Casey

Top Chef: Miami Finale Part 2 The chefs know going into the finale that they will be able to make whatever they want, but they don’t know exactly what kind of food they will have access to. I know some of them like to decide what they are going...

Top Chef: Aspen Highs

Top Chef: Miami Finale Part 1 The final four started out in the episode, even though for some reason, I kept thinking that Sara was there somewhere and forgot about Brian. I kept looking for her, and then would think why are there only three people? Oh yeah, Brian...

Top Chef: Classic Ingredients

Top Chef: Miami Manhattan Project At the end of this episode, I really had no idea who was going home. I thought it was going to Dale or Sara at various times and would have not been surprised either way. I was not overly impressed with Sara most of...

Top Chef: Restaurant Mess

Top Chef: Miami Restaurant Wars In the past seasons and past episodes, there has been many times where Tom has pointed out that it is not Top <insert clever phrase here>, but Top Chef. The restaurant wars challenge confuses me. While I know a chef that owns his/her own...

Top Chef: Fancy Late Night Treats

Top Chef: Miami Guilty Pleasures Ah the poor contestants thought they would actually get a night out to enjoy themselves, but none of them seemed to think it might be a trick? Why would cameras follow them around at a night club? Do they think they are that interesting?...

Top Chef: Individually Frozen

Top Chef: Miami Freezer Burn Reality shows love their sponsors, and Top Chef is no exception with their longing camera glances at the Glad plastic containers. This episode was apparently brought to us by Bertolli Mediterranean Style Frozen Dinners, since the product was mentioned a million times. It is...
