Top Chef


Top Chef is a reality cooking show in which many talented chefs compete in various culinary challenges. These chefs come from across the country for a chance to prove their unique talents, skill, and expertise. The show is shot in one location each season. They have competed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and New York.

The competitors participate in two challenges each episode -- a quickfire challenge and an elimination challenge. The winner of the quickfire challenge secures immunity from the next challenge (meaning they cannot be voted off). The elimination challenge is much more important, because it decides who stays and who goes. One chef is asked to leave each week with the show's famous parting line -- "Please pack your knives and go."

The show's judges include noted chef and restaurateur, Tom Collichio, cookbook author and actress, Padma Lakshmi, food critic, Gail Simmons, and many more renowned people in the food and wine industry.

Top Chef is currently in its fifth season with new episodes airing Wednesday nights on Bravo network. For more information on this and all the seasons visit Top Chef's official website where you can read contestant bios, catch up on past seasons, and much more.

What Do I Think? Top Chef is a great cooking show. It is a lot of fun watching the chefs come up with amazing recipes and peculiar combinations. Most of the time I feel like the food they make is food I would never even attempt to eat, but it is still enjoyable to watch the competition and their remarkable techniques.
