    Top Chef Masters -- Season 3

    So here are the details. Show debuts tomorrow night. The format will be akin to that of the original "Top Chef." (In TCM Seasons #1 and #2, contestants were graded on a scale; this season they will take part in quiockfire and elimination challenges). However, they will also be competing for cash...

    Top Chef All Stars

    Zaytinya, Cafe Atlantico, and Minibar are reflections of Jose Andres not Mike Isabella. He certainly learned a lot from him, but they aren't -- and weren't -- Mike's restaurants. I should also note that in the time Mike left Zaytinya he cooked with Bryan Voltaggio and Jen Carroll to get ready...

    Eric Ripert's Louis Vuitton Knife Case (56k warning)

    Whether you like it or not, theft can be a problem in many kitchens. Cyrus is not the typical restaurant. Many have large numbers of rather transient staff, including a good number of cleaning help and wait staff. It's not unknown for restaurant workers to be in need of cash. Things get...

    Eric Ripert's Louis Vuitton Knife Case (56k warning)

    First, Ripert travels almost constantly and much of his cooking is done on television or before an audience. Indeed, as you can see from the contents of the case, he travels with far more than just his knives, but includes other tools that may not be available in such situations. It's not like...

    Eric Ripert's Louis Vuitton Knife Case (56k warning)

    Anyone able to identify the makers of his knives? According to the article posted earlier, its MAC and Wusthof. Yes that's what it says...Ripert has had a long relationship with MAc and often recmmends Wusthof for recreational cooks...but the case contains a bit more than that: for instance...

    Top Chef Masters -- Season 3

    Perhaps season four will be Top Chef Masters v Top Chef's 8 seasons' winners. Just sayin'....

    Top Chef All Stars

    I agree too - but it's a tv show. And when you get to final four All-stars, we all know they are all good. And they have different styles of food. So if you don't do SOMETHING to push them out of their comfort zone, you get into a decision about whose style you like best... which is what will...

    Top Chef Masters -- Season 3

    Top Chef Masters -- Season Three begins to air April 6th. Lineup is not exactly made up of household (or at least foodie household), which doesn't mean they aren't fine chefs. Format will more closely resemble Top Chef's ongoing approach rather than that of the past two Masters series.

    Am I going blind or is this a square toe? Will I burn in sartorial hell for asking this question? No, it is a chiseled toe.

    Top Chef All Stars

    i believe he also worked with ferran adria at el bulli He was there for one week in 2003. As short as it was, there is no question it had a remarkable impact on his approach to food and cooking.

    too much salt is dangerous to your health. Dale got lucky last week...but this isn't the first time it's sent a good chef home!

    Top Chef All Stars

    Uh, because running a restaurant and cooking isn't an extreme sport, and has little to do with this kind of TV ****? Well, there are times when it can seem like an extreme sport, but it certainly has little to do this kind of TV....

    Top Chef All Stars

    Fourth in Season 6 and an early exit this season may seem "close" to you, but I'm not sure that would be a universal assessment. Regardless, the bottom line is pretty obvious -- there are great chefs who -- for whatever reason -- don't fare very well in such competitions but are...

    Top Chef All Stars

    Amanda -- who is Cordon Bleu-trained -- can cook. She's been the sous chef at The Water Grill and they knew exactly what they were doing when -- after a nationwide search for a new executive chef -- they turned to her. There's a big difference between who might win a television/cooking contest...
