After watching the first episode of Top Chef, I think it’s safe to say that this season is definitely promising. Taking place in Washington, DC., the previews include Nancy Pelosi and tears in the kitchen. Two things I’m eager to see!

Recently, I’ve found myself enjoying watching food shows more and more. I used to avoid watching them because they made me so hungry. Now I’m absorbed enough to put my hunger pangs aside for pure enjoyment!
