The return of Bravo’s Top Chef

The season 4 premiere of Top Chef aired last night on the Bravo network. For those of you unfamiliar with this show, Top Chef takes 16 contestants of various culinary experience and background and gives them the opportunity to prove their skills in head to head competitions. Week after week contestants face off in two types of challenges; a “quick fire” challenge, in which they can win small prizes and immunity from elimination in the larger, more serious “elimination” challenge. It is in this challenge that chefs must perform - the least favorite dish in this competition wins a one-way plane ticket home. (image of judges table courtesy of Wikipedia.org)
