Bravo’s Top Chef started its 5th season four weeks ago, in the city of all cities, New York. If you haven’t seen Top Chef before there is no time like the present. With only four episodes aired, the action is still heating up.Besides the shows move to New York, this season has made other changes by including international chefs Stefan and Fabio. While both chefs now reside in California, both grew up and were culinary educated in Europe. I think this adds a nice spin to the Top Chef competition to see how the European training stacks up to the U.S. With 5 of the 8 challenge wins, won by Stefan and Fabio, they are off to a running start.
In the first four weeks we have seen five chefs eliminated:
1.Lauren: First challenge in week 1
2.Patrick: Elimination Challenge in week 1
3.Jill: Elimination Challenge week 2
4.Richard: Elimination Challenge week 3
5.Alex: Elimination Challenge week 4
With 12 chefs left, the Top Chef Crown is far from being determined. Some early picks for my Top Chef winner are Fabio and Radhika. They both have two wins each and definitely seem to be on the judges’ radar. For a dark horse pick I’m going with Jamie. Yes, I know she was almost eliminated Wednesday Dec 3rd. But to me she seems to have that edge and fire, of a winning chef. Also, having an elimination win and being very close to multiple quickfire wins shows she has the skills.
If you have some picks for the Top Chef winner please comment below, I’d love to know if you agree or disagree with me.
Top Chef is on Bravo every Wednesday night with multiple airings so please watch. And check back here at TVT Reality for recaps of every upcoming episode, and any news and rumors. I will also be putting out a Bio post of a Top Chef contestant every week. Thank you for reading and as always leaving comments is appreciated.
