Top Chef Seattle

Top Chef, People seem to be absolutely nuts about this show.  I have never watched it before, but as it was filmed in Seattle this time I think I will try and catch it.

I also came across this recent article in Fast Company, Creating “Food Porn”: How “Top Chef” Makes Viewers Love Food They Can’t Taste. Food styling has always been an interest of mine and they seem to do it well. Seriously though, if they want to add drama and a level of extreme sport to Top Chef, try cooking a dinner with a barking dog trying to steal scraps and a screaming two year melting down at your feet.
