It was revealed in late August by host Heidi Klum that the fourth season of the almost unimaginably successful Bravo reality fashion design show, Project Runway, will be premiering Wednesday, November 14.
If second rate shows like Shear Genius (the network's haircutting competition show—seriously) or the slightly better Tim Gunn's Guide to Style makeover series just aren't tiding you over, good news—Bravo's given viewers their first sneak peeks at three designers partaking in this upcoming
It started with Tom Colicchio hawking Diet Coke during the Superbowl.
That opened the door to Padma Lakshmi doing naughty Paris Hilton-like things to a Western Bacon Cheeseburger.
I admit it: I like the sandwich, and yes, I avidly follow every season of Top Chef. But this? I don't know. It just seems. Hmm. Wrong. But also. So very very right! Comments have been made about how the Top Chef judges are selling out. And it would seem that way, at first. But then how can you rea
Bravo TVThe food blogosphere is on FIRE (pun intended) right now over the announcement of Top Chef Masters, airing on June 10th. Think of it as Top Chef meets Iron Chef America meets WWE Smackdown. If there's such a thing as a foodie-gasm, this is the thing to inspire it.
The judges will be celebrities, including Zooey Deschanel, NPH, and, here's a headscratcher, Jeff Lewis (WTF?), along with past Top Chef-testants, and the usual three judges.
But blaringly absent from the roster of contesta
The Top Chef spinoff starts tonight (10:00pm, Bravo), with 24 chefs duking it out over the ten-show run.Sources confirm that Suzanne Tracht, of Jar in LA and Tracht's in Long Beach, isn't actually cooking till next week's episode. But that's no excuse not to party, right? So to mark the start of the series tonight, Tracht's is showing the program and running happy hour specials on food and drink from 4.30pm till close (which might be as late as 1:00am, depending on how many people show up.)The o
Bravo TV1. They don't live together.
The first shots of the show isn't of the cheftestants waking up from bed in their undies, yawning, and brushing their teeth. Another plus of not having them shoved into the same living quarters: No possibility of head shaving incidents, hidden-camera kanoodling, and other Real World-type histrionics. The least interesting part of regular Top Chef happens when they go home.
2. No sobbing, farewell confessional.
There is none of the played-out, teary-ey
Bravo TVIt was Restaurant Wars last week in Top Chef: Las Vegas, and finally this season, things got interesting. Now I've never been a fan of Top Chef when the show focuses on the extracurricular antics of the cheftestants -- the head shaving incidents of Season 2 and the hidden-camera canoodling of Season 5 come to mind -- but when there's tempers flare during the heat of competition, like what transpired between Robin and Michael Voltaggio on this episode, now that's entertainment! A
Hot off the announcement that Top Chef Masters is going to be getting a second season, Bravo is developing ANOTHER spin-off. What is it? Take the original Top Chef recipe, add a pinch of Ace of Cakes, maybe a few telegenic hotties that look like Jennifer Aniston and BAM! (with apologies to Emeril), you get Top Chef: Just Desserts, which is a delicious pun, I admit.
The new show, of course, will feature pastry chefs, and is now holding auditions. Desserts, as you know, has never been th
Photo Courtesy Travel ChannelI don't like where this is going.
Scripps Network Interactive Inc., owner of the Food Network, which has slowly but noticeably descended into semi-homemade mediocrity, bought a controlling stake in the Travel Channel last week.
For Anthony Bourdain's sake, I hope that the "controlling" part doesn't mean what it sounds like. Bourdain, as people know, jumped the Food Network ship for creative reasons, to put it mildly, taking his food travel show concept to Tra
