In search of culinary Nirvana
I have a soft spot for any television show that comes with an amended warning label. Moreover, if the show happens to espouse the intrinsic benefits of glutonistic hedonism, I’d say that show is a dream come true.

Get your DVRs ready for Saturday afternoon. Long before he graced our screen as the darling of Top Chef, Atlanta’s own Richard Blais showed up TV sets across the states on an episode of the Food Network’s Iron Chef America. The challenge, which took place back in ‘06, featured chickpeas as the ingredient du jour and …
Tom Colicchio, the chef/restaurateur behind places like Craft and Craftbar, showed up on Tax Day to talk with Charlie Rose. Rose is a great interviewer and I think ya’ll will find this very entertaining. In the culinary world, Colicchio is well established. In general media, he is probably best known as the Generalissimo of Top …

Got to love the inbox. Top Chef Masters, the spin-off show with some serious firepower, is hitting the airwaves on June 10th. In addition to some awesome contestants [Hubert Keller], impressive judges [Gael Greene], and a hottie host [Padma has some serious competition], the show will have a handful of celebrity guests (calling Doogie Howser, …
