First Top Chef Junior, then Top Chef Masters , Top Chef Wine, and Top Chef, the Magazine. What's next: Top Chef Desserts? Actually, yes. This week, Bravo begins casting calls for a new TC spinoff airing in 2010, Top Chef: Just Desserts. In a move that means year-round Top Chef programming, the show will feature pastry chefs living together and facing off in — you guessed it! — a weekly elimination. No word yet on who the host or judges will be.
Calling pastry "a different skill," Bravo exec Frances Berwick added, "We're finding people really love this franchise, and there seems to be no end to the interest in it." Really? I beg to differ and, like PartySugar, I am tiring of the Top Chef brand — not to mention all the cake competitions that have become so prolific on TV.
What say you? Will you watch Top Chef: Just Desserts?

as long as they pick new people and don't recycle the same old schmucks on the Food Network cake competitions
1No more cakes!
That said, it could be cool if they are actually making desserts and not just fondant art work
2finally, I'm tired of seeing chef after chef making a mockery of pastry on regular Top Chef. Also, you would think they would learn to never make a semi-freddo, pot de creme, flan, or ice cream on regular Top Chef, but no, they always make the same mistakes again and again. It AINT gonna set, this is Top Chef, custards and ice creams don't work.
3Desserts kind of bore me.
4I'll watch it, I love all things Top Chef!
5That's cool.
6I'd watch it, but it sounds a little boring.
7all those cake shows are not dessert shows. they are all about all the nasty things you can do with fondant and dowels and edible photos and random other stuff. they are LAME. a real dessert show has not been done yet. This will be huge. technique will be a huge part of it. in top chef they rarely focus on what goes into cooking meat right, or how to do a perfect braise. for dessert, over 50% of the result comes down to various technique. highly technical chemistry. it should be fascinating... and inspiring.
