This is the first time that this site has done “Top Chef” rankings, but given the popularity of the Seattle season thus far, along with the fact that we now have a pretty good read on all of the contestants, why not give it a try? Cooking’s all about taking risks, and there’s nothing more […]
“Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen” is doing a pretty great job at the moment in cultivating some pretty awesome showdowns. After all, last week we had Kristen Kish face off against the woman who stay in the competition over her in Josie; and now, she had to take on the man who jokingly called her […]
When “Top Chef: Seattle” stepped on board a cruise ship for its new episode Wednesday night, all bets were really off. Why? There are some big difference between cooking in the sea and cooking on land, and it is pretty easy to allow for the cramped space, the locks on the devices, and having electric […]
There was an extra layer of drama on “Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen” this week, and some may even call it culinary justice: Josie Smith-Malave facing off against a woman in Kristen Kish who many believed should have stayed in the competition over her. As a matter of fact, there’s no doubt in our mind […]
One week after the stunning elimination of Kristen Kish on “Top Chef: Seattle” (even if it was the right move for the integrity of the show, given their history of eliminating frontrunners for a bad week), everything is starting to seem right with the world again.

However, this week […]
Following Wednesday night’s new episode of “Top Chef: Seattle,” it was pretty easy to be torn about John Tesar’s elimination. From one standpoint, it felt as though he was hosed in being forced to do a final cook-off against Lizzie to stay in the competition, mostly because her dish was even more of a disaster […]
If you appreciate it when “Top Chef” takes a look back into its own past for challenges, then odds are you probably ended up rather enjoying the all-new episode of the show that aired on Wednesday night. Not even product placement could drag down what was a pretty cool attempt by the nine remaining chefs to […]
