Now that we are beyond New Year’s Day and into 2013, there is some great news for anyone out there who is a major TV fan: there is some new programming across multiple networks again for the first time really since the Christmas holiday. So what should you be aware of? This is what we’ve […]
For those of you who want to make an argument that returning players are bad for TV and for fairness, you may want to look at what is currently going on in the context of “Top Chef” as evidence. This season started with 18 chefs, and it included fifteen new chefs and three returning. When […]
Early on this season, we were critical of “Top Chef Seattle” for a number of things, in between the returning players twist and the new “Last Chance Kitchen” twist that potentially gives chefs three kicks at the can. However, there’s really nothing negative that we can say at all about this episode that aired the […]
We remain polarized about “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen” in many ways. On one side of the coin, we love having a show like this that allows us the opportunity to see more “Top Chef” every week; at the same time, there is still a part of us that believes that one chance is really […]
When we first saw that there were three returning contestants on “Top Chef: Seattle,” we were pretty disgusted. Why?

We’re a couple of days late on “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen” this week, but for those of you who want to stay updated on the Bravo web series without really watching it religiously, we’re here to help. With both CJ and Tyler getting a chance to stick around thanks largely in part to them […]

Is it because they are traditionally given more creative challenges to work on? That is possible, as it may be that the chefs are just excited […]
We’ve already been a little displeased with “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen” this year, mostly because we cannot even claim to be remotely a fan of a contestant getting to come back close to the finale after going through all of this. It was already hard enough last year to have someone return a few […]
It’s interesting to watch season after season of “Top Chef,” but yet see chefs continuing to make a variety of the same sort of mistake that we have seen on this show time and time again. The biggest one? If you are in some sort of team challenge, you have to communicate with the person […]
While there were some great moments in Wednesday night’s new episode of “Top Chef: Seattle,” did anyone else feel as though it put out the worst overall product of the season? We’re not enormous fans of challenges where the chefs are really just recreating another chef’s menu, largely because it is so hard to see […]
