I prefer to watch a professional or celebrity chef in a more educational program.
Top Chef Quiz: Pigs and Pinot
Last night's Top Chef highlighted the love story between a chef and a pig. The contestants had to create dishes using a specific piece of pork, and then pair their creations with wine. I enjoyed seeing Dana Cowin, the editor of Food & Wine, compare Laurine's dish to cat food.
