In Anticipation of the Future: A Look at the Past

The new season of Top Chef starts tomorrow and I could not be more excited. Top Chef is more than just great food--it is damn good entertainment. Through past seasons we've seen shaved heads, the hottest guy ever doing push-ups, and a world famous chef dressed as Santa Claus. We've seen contestants cry (including big tough New Yorkers), rap, hiss, get beat up, yell at the judges, quit successfully, try to quit unsuccessfully, cook in high heels, and run around waving knives. The contestants have cooked for surfers, kids, drunk people, rich people, and gamblers. Contestants have cooked on bbqs, on camp stoves, in airplane ovens, and have even cooked without actually cooking.

Things I hope we won't see this season:
any contestant repeatedly talking about bowel movements
any contestant saying she lost because she misses her kid
any contestant saying they've never made a pie crust (this is top chef people, learn 2 dessert recipes)
annoying and excessive product placement

Top Chef has provided me with hours of entertainment
and I expect nothing less this season. In conclusion let me just say, Top Chef is what it is and believe you me, what it is, is fabulous! Also, I love you Tre!
