Default Top Chef Season 4

It begins on Wednesday March 12!

I am a huge fan of the series and can't wait--even have some finger foods planned for the event.

Any other big fans out there?

I love the show but try to get to bed around 10 so won't stay up to watch it. I'll probably record it to watch the next day.

Yeah, it'll be on Wednesday March 12th @10PM EST, here in the contiguous states. I'll be covering it on my blog so check it out after the show.

Top Chef Season 4
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but after watching a couple of seasons I find the whole thing a big bore <YAWN>. IMO, there arejust to many shows of the same type on TV, and the concept has been grossly overdone.

While I can't say that I disagree with the fact that it has been done to death, I have to say that watching "amatuer" cooks/chefs duke it out for culinary supremacy really is better than having to sit through another episode of Pop/American Idol or one of the numerous rip-offs.

Tessa... The winner of season three is ......

Who are you routing for?

While I hate reality TV and this is lacks much entertainment it is nice to watch something that interests me somewhat.

What would you rather watch, Throwdown with Bobby Flay or Top Chef?

Throwdown WooooHoooo Just think FN actually pays someone REAL well to come up with the trash. One Q I've always had about Throwdown. WTH does FN just walk in your kitchen one day, and say. WOW your amazing we want to do a show about you. Then Flay shows up? Are people really that dense?

Yeah I always wonder that same thing. I mean, I'm sure you are pretty good at what you do but what are the odds that FN is going to put a show on about your niche food product that has a budget as thin the crud they pitch to those folks. Come on. Do these folks even watch FN? Even if they don't, some one they know does.

It all depends on your POV of course. Lots of people watch it for the drama. I watch it and critique the technical aspects, like how some people cannot dice an onion quickly, or marvel at how Hyun breaks down a chicken faster than I can find the breastbone.

I was happy that the girl got eliminated who did (I can't remember her name). I was hoping she would be gone, almost since the beggining of the show. She not only screwed up the Elimination Challenge, but also the Quickfire challenge. I don't know how she even got selected... In short there were a lot of people I would have loved to seen eliminated, but none of them more than her.

All I can say is that the nacho "souffle" thing looked like a right mess and that I can sort of understand the chicken piccata person not exactly knowing what it is because I didn't quite remember myself...

IMO, the duck, lasagna, and steak were the easiest to not screw up.

I knew Nimma was gone when I read her bio. I watched her vid online and said "goodbye sweetheart" almost immediately. She just didn't scream "Top Chef" to me. I wanted her to do well, but just didn't feel it coming.
