Going into every episode of “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen,” we like to start to get into the heads of the editors and figure out just what they are trying to tell us with each culinary showdown. After all, Bravo doesn’t want a winner that is a jerk, and even when it comes to the […]
After a week off for Christmas, “Top Chef: New Orleans” aired a new episode on New Year’s Day that was hardly about new beginnings. Instead, one of the major story threads was all about Carlos Gaytan, Nicholas Elmi, and a battle that is probably being made out to be worse than it is … even […]
Sadly, there was no new episode of “Top Chef: New Orleans” to enjoy this week. So with that in mind, maybe it is best to think that the series decided to just marinate a little bit over the Christmas holiday, and come back with something that packs an even bigger punch than usual. Based on […]
Tonight on “Top Chef: New Orleans,” we basically saw an elimination that was quite a while in the making. Justin Devillier had struggled for a few weeks straight, and he went into this college cook-off using the weird assumption that for whatever reason, college kids really wanted to chow down on food that was for […]
In some ways, we’re still trying to figure out whether or not tonight’s episode of “Top Chef: New Orleans” was actually something that LSU would be proud of.

On tonight’s new episode of “Top Chef: New Orleans,” we saw what could be known for some time as The Great Biscuit Tragedy. Despite having at times some flashes of brilliance, in addition to looking quite possibly one of the greatest front-of-the-house performances ever during Restaurant Wars, Travis Masar still struggled with his Southern biscuits […]
If you are trying to not eat late at night, “Top Chef” is basically the devil sitting on your shoulder and tempting you to go munch on something delicious. This was especially true for an episode this week that saw a great number of various comfort foods, whether you are talking about the likes of […]
On Wednesday night’s episode of “Top Chef: New Orleans,” we had what can only be described as one of the worst culinary catastrophes that we have ever seen on the show. Basically, we had a showdown between Sara Johannes and Justin Devillier over the way in which their Restaurant Wars kitchen should be handled, and […]
In all of our years watching “Top Chef” over the years, there has never been a Restaurant Wars quite like this. This was ugly. While one of the teams was not necessarily perfect, the other was just a car crash. Typically, we at least feel like the editors do a good job trying to present […]
