Top Chef is Back

edited March 2009 in Social Entropy++
and my life has meaning again. Top Chef returns for its fifth season tonight, 10 pm, on bravo, and the new season goes back to fabulous new york

Top Chef Season 5 site

let us welcome back the judges and announcer:

that lovable bear of a man, Tom Collichio

that exotic hottie with the weird scar, padma lakshmi
padma1.jpg

and sometimes judge, the superhungry gail
GailSimmons_FScottSchafer.jpg


while lovable scamp ted allen won't be returning, we will hopefully see more awesome guest judges like anthony bourdain and michael ruhlmann

so who else is excited and planning on watching this vessel of food porn disguised as competitive reality show?

any early favorites among the new cast members? I'm puling for lauren, because she looks fierce, but the skinny, pretty ones rarely get too far in the show. Also Leah, because she has a bit of filipino in her.

So yeah, lets dish

    yeah, he got replaced by some british dude. on the one hand, boo. on the other, a judge with a british accent. hot.

    also, totally see what you mean about tom-dru. i imagine if druhim was a professional cook, he'd gain a bit more weight and be tom collichio's sexy double.

    I forgot this started today, thanks lost!

    I think I'm rooting for Fabio, because his name is Fabio and he's William Shatner's personal chef

    its nice because they explain a lot of stuff about what they're cooking and how they do it and all that. like before i started watching, i had no clue what the hell foie gras was. the only bad part is that at the end of every episode, you end up hungry and wanting something more than crap fast food.

    t usagi - no prob!

    Bourdain should be an always judge on this show. I'd watch it more.

    Also, did you know Tom Colicchio is probably one of the greatest chefs around? And he must have made a deal with the devil to get to that point and end up hosting this show. I mean it is a good show, but sometimes Tom has this expression on his face like he is looking for the rat poison...

    Yeah, most of the time people are like "Hey chef I'm making blahblahblah" and he's just like, "Uh...okay go for it"

    If he's not chef, what is he? I ask out of ignorance; I assumed that anyone with a cooking show has to be a chef. And Good Eats is the only show I watch.
