Lucky for us foodies out there in need of a reality TV fix, Bravo’s Top Chef returns tomorrow in Washington, D.C. for the ultimate cooking showdown. Make sure to check out the premier at 9/8c. This is the show’s seventh season, and all of the regular judges are back.

Yes, Eric Ripert, Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi and Gail Simmons will be there to roast and toast the 17 new contestants. What’s up for grabs? Well, these lucky chefs will be competing for a prize of $125,000 and the title of Top Chef. I read through the biographies of the new contestants, and while you can’t judge a book by it’s cover, I’m going to dish on what my initial reactions and expectations for them are.

Coming Soon: Top Chef Masters!

topchefmasters

Our favorite foodie show is back! And this time things are going to be a little different. Instead of small time chefs competing against eachother to become Top Chef, this time we’re watching the best of the best. Hailing from famous and popular restaurants all throughout the United States, these competitors are anything but amateur.  Even the judging panel will be different! No more Padma and Tom Colicchio; the fate of these Top Chef Masters contestants is in the hands of Host Kelly Choi, Judge Gael Greene, Judge Jay Rayner and Judge James Osland. Top Chef Masters premieres this Wednesday, June 10th at 10/9 CST. Won’t get a chance to watch? Tune in to Chew on That on Thursday for coverage of the first episode!

Well, we have a winner. And it’s certainly not who any of us expected. Cooking the best three course meal of your life without any guidelines can sometimes be more daunting than having guidelines and that led our fan favorite to falter and our egotistical predicted winner to become, well too egotistical.  I’ve complained about the outcome here, here and here, but now that I’ve sat down to write this blog, I think I have some different opinions. Here’s why…
