new york, new york.


How excited am I that the new season of Top Chef has started, and that it will be taking place in none other than NEW YORK! Wednesday's episode introduced us to the 17 (now 15) chefs who will be vying for the honorary title. It is still too soon to pick favorites, but I can already tell you who I am NOT find of - both European chefs. Although Stephan won the overall challenge, his attitude and demeanor reflect a sense of European snobbery. No thanks.
I am already getting close to Gene - the Hawaiian gangster who has no professional cooking education, but has learned through working in the kitchen his whole life. He looks like a punk, but won Padma's heart with his take on an ideal Indian cuisine.
I don't know what qualifiesyou as a foodie - but I love to eat, and learning about food. I don't cook as much as I should (especially coming from parents who cook ALL the time) but am genuinely intrigued with the creativity some people have in the kitchen.
Top Chef - Every Wed. at 10:00PM/EST on Bravo.
Check it out.
