Emmys

Congrats to Top Chef!

After being nominated four years in a row, last night, Top Chef finally won the Emmy for Best Reality Series.

After being nominated four years in a row, last night, Top Chef finally won the Emmy for Best Reality Series. The sixth season of the show that was filmed in Las Vegas and featured the charismatic Voltaggio brothers was one of my favorite seasons, and I'm happy to see it awarded.

Along with the Magical Elves, the production company behind the series, hostess Padma Lakshmi and judges Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio were on hand to receive their Emmy. The win was unexpected by the cast and crew; Simmons tweeted, "still tongue-tied 4 hours later!" while Lakshmi chimed in, "wow! It still hasn't sunk in. Very thrilling to win along with Al Pacino!" What do you think of the win?

Things are winding down on the sixth season of Top Chef Vegas. After last night's episode only six cheftestants remain. Instead of a guest judge that's a chef, the actress Natalie Portman decides the fate of the competitors. It was all about vegetarian food. Did you watch? Let's discuss it after the break.

Top Chef Quiz: Camping

We played chefs and cowboys on last night's episode of Top Chef.

We played chefs and cowboys on last night's episode of Top Chef. On a ranch outside of Vegas, the chefs slept in tepees, made s'mores, then cooked over fire pits for a bunch of ranchers. Didn't you love when Mike I asked, "Is Padma sleeping in a tepee, too?" See how much you remember and take my quiz.
