Check out the roster: www.bravotv.com/top-chef-masters/season-1/biosIt premieres on June 10th!! I've already got a fave. Rick Bayless!! He's the owner and Executive Chef at my favorite restaurant in Chicago, Frontera Grill. We had our rehearsal dinner there. ;D Can't wait!!

O.M.G!!! This show is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelish!!!! #punten#
Loved the girl scouts judging the Quick Fire. That was hilarious. And the curve ball thrown at those Chefs to have to prepare the meal for the elimination challenge was brilliant!! Hubert Keller was genius (even if it was a little gross).
Why do we have to wait a week for the next one?!!

#th28-1# #th28-1# #th28-1# Rick Bayless from Frontera Grill in Chicago is going to the Champion's Round!! Here is MiG with Rick at Frontera Grill. When he was here for the BMCW we went there for lunch between Lunch in the Loop and the PA at the record store. I've never seen anyone polish off their food faster than MiG did that day. I think he liked it.

I watched that show last night and got so mad. Most of the contestants have been great but Ludo was such a whiny unlikable guy. To accuse Rick of stealing his idea because he was making quesadilla and Rick was making taco was so stupid. Tongue tacos are very common in the little mexican eateries around here, it isn't a stretch wiht his background to know that Rick no doubt had the idea before that guy. He was such a bad sport throughout . I liked Wilo from Puerto Rico but I am glad Rick won. too win by 2 points in this competition is a really big margin. The main thing I have been disappointed in in the competition is the type of challenges they have done. These are fairly well estalished chefs and they aren't playing to their strengths but to their discomforts. Is that really how you pick a master chef? Because he can cook in a dorm room or cook organ meats? Wish they had more of a freestyle competition

Mary Beth,
My guess is that more of the 'freestyle' stuff will come into play in the Champion's Round.
And, I think Rick won by 3 points. Didn't Wilo have 19 and1/2 stars? Rick had 22 and 1/2 stars. ;D

Toni, it's on BRAVO TV on Wednesday nights at 10pm EST. They have three more preliminary rounds with 4 chefs each before the Champion's Round begins. There will be six chefs competing in that round. Frontera is insane!! The best margaritas on the face of the earth. They're pricey, but yummy!! ;D

I missed the show last night - I always forget when it's on.
