Top Chef All-Stars

Top Chef!

I am totally a sucker for this show. I mean, c’mon, there is nothing comparable on TV, and IMHO, it is far and away the best reality show on TV. His year, they have brought back all of the best or near winners of the past seasons. And on top of it, they have added Tony Bourdain as the guest judge for the season. Bourdain automatically make it awesome.

To date, the competition has been cut-throat. With Jen going home in the early stages, you know it’s going to be a tough year.

My early favorites are Blaise, Spike, Dale, and Trey. I am a Tiffany fan but she obviously doesn’t seem to have the same edge as last season. Marcel really intrigues me, and I like his style and demeanor. Angelo, while being a good chef, just rubs me the wrong way (sad because he a dead on doppelgänger for my younger brother Peter). I was pretty happy about Marcel calling him on meddling with other chef’s food and playing mind games last week. Fabio is amazing, if just for the comic relief between he and Bourdain. He clearly is out of his element, and is over compensating.

Hang on folks! This is gonna be a great season, especially for a show that continues to get better and add amazing comps and quickfires!
