Customer Reviews
Teaches the finer points of cooking scallops
Great banter and I can only assume much more interesting that actually watching Top Chef
Exactly the correct amount of talk about Top Chef.
Need I say more? Jeez, it's even funny.
So Much More Than Top Chef
Initially, I hesitated to listen to the show since I've never seen a single episode of Top Chef. I'm very glad I didn't let that stop me. Merlin, Max, and Alex have a great time discussing so much more than just a tv show, and when they do discuss the Top Chef, they cover it in a way even a non-viewer can appreciate. Between the delightful digressions and some very brave stances on issues of the day, this show has it all.
