How They Got On TOP CHEF
Dining Dish - Baltimore Dining Examiner
If you are the foodie gone awry like me you are watching one or both of the chef reality shows. I have watched Top Chef and Hell's Kitchen and my take at the moment is Top Chef keeps bettering itself each season and Hell's Kitchen has become like watching a Jerry Springer show with contrived misfits, so I'm not watching. This season, Top Chef has eliminated bringing in contestants that are culinary students, small caterers and really brought in skilled chefs - more of an equal playing field. I enjoy seeing the quick fire challenges and what these chefs can create. Some make sense and some, well - watch the video from Ilan Hall and the dish he presented to Chef Eric Ripert.
For my chef friends and famous chef wannabees I give you two videos that I made (you will be able to tell their mine from the lack of quality and unsteady hand) of Season's 2's winner, Ilan Hall and contestant, Michael Midgley discussing how they auditioned for the show.
