Top Chef

Did all you foodies out there get hooked on Top Chef too? Here's what Wikipedia has to say...The second season of Top Chef began airing on Bravo on October 18, 2006. Padma Lakshmi took over as host, with Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons returning as judges. Filming began in Westwood, near UCLA in Los Angeles, on August 10, 2006. The number of contestants expanded from 12 to 15. The winning recipe from each week's episode is featured on Bravo's Top Chef website and prepared by Season 1 contestant Lee Anne Wong in a web video called The Wong Way to Cook. Unlike season one, there was no reunion episode.

I can't really write about much without devuldging any spoilers, but I will mention that I think I'm in love with host Padma Lakshmi (supermodel and chef, c'mon). This week is the finale episode. No word yet on a DVD release, but If you haven't seen the show tune in to the Bravo Network, as they enjoy showing their programs over and over and over again.
