Sometimes, there are decisions on “Top Chef” that are fairly controversial. However, at the same time there are also others that will get you watch the show and almost immediately think “yeah, it’s easy to understand how that happened.” For the end of tonight’s episode, it was more of the latter as we saw the […]
Tonight, “Top Chef: Charleston” did a couple of cool things over the course of the hour. First, we had an opportunity to see a pretty excellent Quickfire Challenge where there was no announced twist or even an announced challenge; from there, we had an Elimination Challenge that was all about barbecue! The majority of the […]
Last week, “Top Chef” cast out BJ from the competition, and as a result of that, we’ve seen three newbie chefs go home in the past four weeks. Would the tradition continue moving into Thursday night’s new episode? Time will tell, but we are starting off with the most unusual quickfire we’ve seen to date. […]
There are a few things that we know about Katsuji Tanabe through over a season of watching “Top Chef,” with it first and foremost being that this is a guy who probably makes the food that we’d most want to eat out of almost anyone. (Hey, we love Mexican food and could eat it pretty […]
Following tonight’s new episode of “Top Chef,” we had a chance to see what was ultimately a redemption tour for one BJ Smith. He felt that he lost a lot of momentum over the course of the season, and he really didn’t get a chance to get his legs under him. The funny thing that […]

One of the funnier / sillier things about Thursday night’s new episode of “Top Chef” was the simple notion that it forced many of the remaining contestants to celebrate Christmas ridiculous early — they filmed this long before the holiday season rolled around, and it was clear at a few points that not everyone had […]
One of the more entertaining things to us about “Top Chef” for whatever reason is how the show really likes to pretend that it is operating in real time, so we tend to get at least one episode a year that is geared around a holiday that the cast had to get into the spirit […]
Tonight, “Top Chef: Charleston” delivered what host Padma Lakshmi referred to as the greatest meal that she’s ever had in the history of the show. Everything was really good, and what we ended up see happen was someone in Sam Tablot go home who made it really far on the second season of the show. […]
Last week, “Top Chef: Charleston” eliminated the second chef of the competition, and to date the newbies are dropping like flies. We’re down to six newbies versus eight returning chefs, which means more or less that this is going precisely Quickfire Challenge – Chris Cosentino showed up to guest-judge, which clearly was not something John Tesar […]
