Top Chef Season 6: Las Vegas

Eyashusa · 07-09-2009, 12:09 PM

Premieres August 26th. They have videos and chef bios on the Bravo site already. Looks like Gail (and of course Padma) are back full-time /swoon.

Oh and the food should be good too

Woot. Love this show.

woot hurray for Padma, not a fan of the host for Top Chef Masters.

I wonder if the shows already been filmed and in the can, or if they are filming it right now? I drop over to Vegas all the time, I wanna see TC in action!!

Yeah, the host of Masters really makes me miss Padma.

It's probably all filmed except the finale. IIRC the finale is done right before the show starts to air.

I want to say someone comments in a past season that the time between the filming of the last "regular" episode and the finale is like 3 months.

Watched the chef introductions...bunch of fucking freaks.

I can't wait for the new season.

Natalie Portman is going to make a guest apparence on the new season. I think since she's a vegetarian the contestants will have to do something vegetarian. They did that once for a wedding, and another time when they did the Foo Fighters concert I think. Some of the roadies were vegetarian. I love when they do the vegetarian ones because most vegetarians don't want just a salad, they want something that taste and looks as good as the non vegetarians get. Pretty sure they did ok with that in the wedding episode.

That Foo Fighters episode still pisses me off, because they edited out the cooking and tasting of the winning dish, which was a vegan stuffing IIRC. IT WAS AMAZING... WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT? TOO BAD!

I know there is a website (and cookbook) but the point is, it was a terrible editing job.

Oh, and those clips aren't available from my location.

This premieres tonight

I saw an interview with Padma, she said she starts the season in a size 4 dress and by the end is in a size 6. She gains 12-15 pounds over a season. I just found that interesting and sort of hard to believe because she always looks amazing to me.

That's what happens when your starved body finally gets food.

spronk · 08-19-2009, 04:52 PM

moar padma!! gotta add top chef back to DVR list, woot.

I'm not a vegetarian but I agree the veg shows are pretty interesting, I liked the one Top Chef Masters did a lot too. Of course I also looooove the shows where they focus on meat and show a nice juicy steak cooked perfectly, or the ones with really weird meats.

I know these two aren't a couple anymore, but goddamn salman rushdie is a lucky motherfucker, got to tap this for a few years. it would totally be worth a fatwa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burkex · 08-19-2009, 08:01 PM

I think the frontrunners are pretty clear:

1. Jennifer Carroll
2. Kevin Gillespie
3. Michael Isabella
4. Michael Voltaggio
5. Ron Duprat

and Jennifer Carroll seems to be the clear frontrunner to me. The Blaze, Hung, Stephan, etc of the crop.

There are also some terribad cooks...seriously who deepfries a steak for Wolfgang Puck? Either way it looks like it will be an entertaining season.

PS: Ron makes me laugh. I hope he goes far.
