Tonight’s Top Chef proved to be another interesting episode with the producers of the show taking a couple of twisted turns to get to one of the most highly anticipated episodes of the year, Restaurant Wars. However, before I get into it, I wasn’t excited.

Top Chef’s Padma Lakshmi is pregnant with her first child.

It’s Back! OC’s Restaurant Week is the OC’s most Delicious food event, September 13th – 19th. More than 100 OC restaurants are ready to dish up amazing food at fantastic prices.

This past Sunday, GLAAD held their Summer Fundraiser and we had Chef Jamie Lauren and Chef Rich Sweeney from Top Chef Season 5 battling out in front of GLAAD supporters and foodies.

Chef Rich Sweeney of Top Chef Season 5 had a recipe for a Pasta Fagioli on his website. It looked so good I had to try it out.

I recently entered a contest that was on the EaterLA website. They asked us what one of our favorite moments were from Season 5 of Top Chef. This was my submission.

Here’s a sneak peek into next week’s episode of Top Chef Las Vegas! It’s battle of the sexes. Both teams must cater a bachelor and bachelorette party. Guest judge this week is Todd English.

Rick Bayless, you are a Top Chef Master!! Congratulations on your win and the donation of $100,000 to the Frontera Farmer Foundation.

So Top Chef Las Vegas could bring us a good season. There are some good chefs in the bunch. I’m keeping my eye on Kevin, Michael V, Michael I and Bryan. The bar has been raised and there is alot of money to be won in this season of Top Chef.

Bravo will present the newest season of Top Chef and this season they are in Las Vegas! Join 17 cheftestants as they battle it out for the title of Top Chef.

Tonight on Top Chef Masters knives are drawn and the display of extraordinary talent begins in the most ordinary of places – the grocery store, where the chefs are met with the classic quickfire from Season 3 – “Aisle Trial”.

There was a dish that I recall growing up. My mom would make it now and then and it was perfect with fresh steamed rice (what isn’t perfect with fresh steamed rice?) It is made with a squash called a Chayote or Mirlitons as I would find out later…

Bravo announced the contestants from this season of Top Chef to be held in Las Vegas, NV

I have been waiting for months for this event and I got to within hours of the event and find myself at home, sick, in bed. Can you believe it? The Top Chef Tour 2009 is finally here in LA!

These are some of the best chefs in the United States and abroad. Some of these chefs have served as guest judges on Top Chef and now the tables have been turned.

It’s going to be a hot summer and the producers of Top Chef is going to make it hotter with Top Chef Masters. 25 world renown chefs will compete Top Chef style for a $100,000 prize to their charity.

The Top Chef Tour starts in NYC and will travel to 22 cities in their new state-of-the-art semi complete with anything you need in a kitchen. The demo truck will allow for more fans to interact and attend!

Top Chef Season 5 might be over, but don’t put pack those knives just yet! The creators of Top Chef are set to debut their new show, Top Chef Masters.

I was on Hulu this afternoon and found this clip of Stefan during his exit interview. This was not aired in the episode. What caught me of guard is that he is a human being after all…

I have been waiting ALL SEASON for this moment. Every year for the last 5 seasons of Top Chef I find myself on the edge of my kitchen counter waiting to see who will be named TOP CHEF. This season was no exception but I got an added bonus this season. I know one of the contestants!

Top Chef’s Carla Hall surprised many viewers by coming from behind to land a spot in the show’s finale, which airs tomorrow night on Bravo. Recently, the DC-based chef chatted with the Buzz about her secret weapon – love – and her plans for the future…

It’s going to be an interesting night on television for me tonite. American Idol’s Top 36, Group 2 is performing tonite and the finale of Top Chef Season 5 will air right after that! We are down to Hosea, Stefan and Carla! I’m rooting for my old friend Carla. Let’s see what this underdog has up her sleeves…

Top Chef Season 5 contestant Ariane Duarte has just been spotted on tonight’s episode of Iron Chef America – Flay vs. Frietag on the Food Network…

This week we find ourselves in New Orleans a city rich in culture and food. Time has passed since the last episode. The guys pretty much look the same (except for Fabio’s new haircut) and Carla has straigtened her hair (I think she looks absolutely fabulous!)…

Apparently, the Hilton at Polaris doesn’t. This totally sucks in that I’m missing the crucial episode that will determine the Top 4 on Top Chef. I’m also missing an episode that has Jacques Pépin and Wylie Dufresne…

Last week’s restaurant wars is over and we are down to 7 chefs in the kitchen. I think the morale of our chefs is down and we’re going to see more of that this week. Leah and Hosea are realizing that thier little “fun” last week can’t ever happen again…

Well here we are at one of the most anticipated episodes that Top Chef produces. It’s Restaurant Wars. We are down to 8 contestants. The gang is still reeling in from the last challenge where Ariane was sent home…

Let me start off by saying that this is probably the first episode in a long time that I saw where some real criticism and judging took place. However, in all that “real” judging, I question the outcome of tonight’s show…

Our chefs show up at the Top Chef kitchen to find a table of various sugars in front of them. With Padma is world renown French chef, Jean-Christophe Novelli. He is the founder of the Novelli Academy, voted one of the best cooking schools in the world…

The courses start to come out and the guest judge for the Elimination Round is Dana Cowin, Editor-in-Chief of Food & Wine Magazine…

This week’s Quickfire Challenge we find Padma and Rocco DiSpirito in the kitchen as our chefs walk in. Behind Padma and Rocco is a table of “breakfast foods”. The challenge? Create a breakfast amuse bouche (one bite highlight). After some interesting choices, only two people stood out for Rocco…

Today’s Quickfire Challenge is to work with one of New York’s most favorite foods. So coming around the corner is a hot dog vendor and they have to compete against the hot dog vendor. They have 45 minutes to come up with a unique hotdog. Many made their own hot dogs from scratch, and some didn’t…

Top Chef Season 5 is here and they are in New York!! I have been waiting for this all year!

Tonight’s Episode is called “Melting Pot”. The 17 “cheftestants” team up to shop in various neighborhoods around New York City in order to create dishes influenced by ethnic flavors…
