In the News: Alice Waters on 60 Minutes

Did you catch Alice Waters on 60 Minutes last week? If not, it's definitely worth taking a 10-minute coffee break (ok, 12-minute, but we won't tell) to watch this interview! We loved the peak into th...

Top Chef New York New Orleans: And the Winner Is...

For the sake of those of you who have this little television nugget on TiVo and plan to save it for the weekend, we'll keep the answer below the jump. For those of you who have some things to discuss ...

Top Chef Finale: Who Will Win?

Well, we've recovered from our Mardi Gras hangover, and we're all set for tonight's finale of Top Chef in New Orleans. From what we've read, it's close. We're hooting for Carla, but we have a feel...

Top Chef New York New Orleans: Finale, Part 1

The final four have moved down to New Orleans for the finale (Hello, Emeril!), and we would have eaten just about anything that came out of the kitchen in last night's episode. Beignets, check. Gri...

Top Chef New York: What Would Your Last Meal Be?

Ours would not be squab, we'll tell you that. But squab and peas is what Jacques Pépin would want for his last meal, so that's what Carla cooked. Lydia Bastianich asked for roast chicken. Wylie...

Top Chef New York: Of Eel and Eric Ripert

Have you ever seen someone skin an eel? It's fascinating. Last night's episode of Top Chef was on par with the standards we expect: a high-stakes test of skills, no cheap sponsor challenges, and a ...

Top Chef New York: Super Bowl Showdown

We're going to try to resist all of the football puns swimming around in our minds right now and just tell you that we thought last night's Top Chef was fun. And we actually learned a few things ab...

Top Chef New York: Restaurant Wars!

We're quite sad this morning over the outcome of last night's Top Chef. It was the Restaurant Wars episode, which we thought went abnormally well compared to other seasons. (Maybe we're biased towa...

Top Chef New York: E-I-E-I-O (and Really Good Chicken)

Given the snow coming down outside our window here in New York, the setting of last night's episode of Top Chef—the sunny landscape of Dan Barber's Stone Barns—was almost cruel. It was sort of ...

Top Chef New York: Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizzle

While we took a break from Top Chef over the holidays, we had several people tell us how bored they are with this season. At first we fought back, if only because we sort of love seeing Ariane win ...

Top Chef New York: Make-Your-Own Sushi at a Bridal Shower?

No, no, no Gene. No thumbs up. You served deconstructed surf-and-turf sushi at Gail Simmons's bridal shower, then neglected to tell the guests how to eat it. We won't reveal here whether or not Gen...

Hot or Not? "Whatever, Martha!"

We read in the Times yesterday that Martha Stewart has a new show coming out. Only (get this!) it's going to be a Mystery Science Theater 3000-style sendup of old material from her shows, AND it's hos...

Top Chef Chicago Puerto Rico Finale: And the Winner Is...

Don't worry, we won't spill the beans on the front page. Click below to discuss......

Top Chef Poll: Who Will Win?

The finale of Top Chef Chicago is tonight. You know what that means... Someone is going home with a hefty supply of Gladware. Who's your pick?...

Nipa Takes A Stand, Won't Do Indian Fusion
The Next Food Network Star

We weren't loving Episode 2 of the Next Food Network Star. It all felt rather rote, but things sure got spicy in the last few minutes. Were you watching? Spoiler alert: We want to talk about details ...

Top Chef Chicago Puerto Rico: Finale, Part 1

Bienvenidos a Puerto Rico! We hope you like pork and controversy, because that's what we've got on the menu today. Read on to see who was kicked off the island......

Next Food Network Star Begins Again This Sunday

Incoming! Another food reality show ... The Next Food Network Star starts on Sunday night. Adam Roberts, The Amateur Gourmet, interviewed each contestant here. Any early favorites?...

Top Chef Chicago: It's Down to the Final Four...

Not being huge red meat eaters, this is a lot of beef to be looking at so early in the morning. But from butchering to cooking, this episode was all about the cow. And yet for once during judges' ta...

Top Chef Chicago: Restaurant Wars!

Sometimes, in war, the mighty fall... We're skipping right to the next page to discuss the winner and, more importantly, the surprising loser. Come!...

Top Chef Chicago: Do You Like Burritos?

Oh, the Richard Blais charm got annoying all right. He asked every Chicago police officer who came by his lunch table, "Question of the day. Do you like burritos?" But at least he wasn't bickering o...

Top Chef Chicago: Stephanie Redeems Herself with a Wedding Cake!

No restaurant wars this season... Instead, we got wedding wars. Two teams, assigned to the bride or groom, created menus — and cakes! — for the actual reception. And Stephanie turned out a stunne...

Top Chef Chicago: We Stand Corrected

Well, we're not above eating a little crow. A few chefs we'd dismissed earlier in the competition completely hit the mark this week. Maybe the producers are toying with our emotions and creating ups ...

Top Chef Chicago: Fill Us In!

We were traveling last night when Top Chef aired (ending up in a Tivo-less hotel), so we've only read the recaps of what happened. Dessert, the lonely step-child of the Top Chef world, finally had it...

Top Chef Chicago: Were You Surprised?

Since the elimination challenge centered around tailgating at a Bears game, we'll go with some football terminology to describe our reaction... Quarterback sneak? Blitzed? It came out of left field? ...

Top Chef Chicago: Grab Your Popcorn (or Tapioca "Caviar")... It's Movie Night!

MARK (right): OK, Ryan, so we're creating a dish based on one of our favorite movies. I'm thinking... RYAN: Dumb and Dumber, right? MARK: Er.... RYAN: Old School! MARK: Huh? What about Bad Boy Bub...
