Is Showtime going to have a hit in “Masters of Sex”? While tonight offered up a brilliant premiere and one of the strongest pilots for any drama we have seen since “Homeland,” the issue here is that we do not believe that this is a show geared to have that same level of popular. Dr. […]
Going into tonight’s “Top Chef Masters” finale, we had a situation where we really thought that anyone could end up winning. You had a guy in Bryan Voltaggio who has won a few challenges as of late, a comeback kid in Jennifer Jasinski who has raised more money than anyone else, and a guy in […]
Tomorrow night, “Top Chef Masters” is set to conclude with an epic showdown between Douglas Keane, Jennifer Jasinski, and Bryan Voltaggio. But before we come to that, we have one final edition of “Battle of the Sous Chefs” to get through. While the chefs are going to create a dessert to go along with their […]
Now that we are a mere week from the “Top Chef Masters” finale, we feel confident to say the following without trepidation: This was by far the greatest season in the show’s history. Everything this year clicked, from the challenges to Curtis Stone to most importantly the case. Everyone is just so likable this year, […]

It’s been a fun, dramatic, and at times very bizarre season of “MasterChef,” but one week before the new Fox schedule arrives in full force, it’s time to say goodbye. Given that this show basically draws similar ratings to “The X Factor,” we have a feeling that Fox will miss it. (Then again, that is […]
In this week’s edition of “Top Chef Masters: Battle of the Sous Chefs,” what we had here was actually a pretty novel idea for a competition: Force these sous chefs to admit to their greatest mistakes ever, and then try to tackle these mistakes again with dishes that impressed on just about every front. This […]
Next week, the final showdown will be here on “MasterChef” between Luca Manfe and Natasha Crnjac, two home cooks who have traveled quite a long way since the beginning of this competition.
