My wife and I really enjoy this show! We don’t have cable so we ordered the season through Amazon. This season really has some great talent. Unfortunately I felt it got muddied up with really gimmicky quickfires and guest judges(sorry pee wee). Still enjoyed the shows! I just hope future seasons show contestants staying in one city for more than 3 episodes and not being put into Survivor type cooking experiences. It’s ok to have more strait forward cooking challenges! They don’t have to be blindfolded, shooting, or moving so much!

It was good to see Texas finally getting the focus for Top Chef and the show did a great job of showcasing local restaurants in Austin, San Antonio and Houston. From The Salt Lick in Driftwood to Citrus in the Hotel Valencia in San Antonio, the producers represented some of the best cuisine in the country let alone the state.
This season also featured some of the most talented contestants I’ve seen and there was some genuine flair throughout the competition. I won’t spoil the surprise of who wins but I’ve eaten at the winner’s restaurant and can attest to their talent. If you’re a fan of Top Chef, you won’t be disappointed with the Texas series, which brings together all of the favorite challenges in a whole new setting.

It’s boys vs girls in every season’s most-anticipated episode. I loved this particular R.W., not just for the fabulous food and exciting locale, but to see totally unexpected vindication for a worthy, underdog competitor. I despise bullies, except for the fact that they give us gloriously shining victors in the end; people that make us jump up and shout out loud, “hooray!”
