You've never watched Top Chef on Bravo? It's a great program - this
season's chefs are definitely among the best ever. There's no yelling
or screaming or high drama, like on Ramsey's shows - it's just good,
solid, professional competition among chefs (sous chefs, chefs who
already own their own restaurants, or other types of cooks), with just
a smidgeon of behind-the-scenes stuff. Padma Lakschmi and Tom
Colicchio are the hosts (and Tom is head judge).

That's an understatement. This season is to previous seasons what
Einstein is to a high school physics teacher. Of course, even the
previous seasons had stronger competitors than any other similar
competition I've seen, be it on Food Network or Fox or NBC.

However, a couple of months ago Bravo had a related "Top MASTER Chef"
competition, which was even more star-studded. But i file it under a
different category.
