Top Chef is my favorite of the talent reality shows. Most of the chefs have real, true talent, plus participating on Top Chef is not looked down on in the industry as a cheap and easy way to advance yourself in the culinary world. Many of the contestants have worked under some of the finest chefs in the country for years before making it on the show so they really know their stuff.

Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!
