Bravo feeds the senses this March with "Top Chef," a new reality competition
series celebrating the culinary arts with a fascinating window into the
competitive, pressurized environment of world-class cookery and the
restaurant business at the highest level. The ten-episode, one-hour series
will feature twelve aspiring chefs who will put their culinary skills to the
test for the chance to earn the prestigious title of "Top Chef."

You know, I've been thinking about "Top Chef" on Bravo and "Next Food Network
Star" on FoodTV, and it really is telling that when it decided to use the
"Choose one star out of many hopefuls" format popularized by The Apprentice
and ANTM, it didn't choose to pick a great chef, it chose to pick a TV
personality. It really shows where their priorities are.
