I talked to Tom from customer service today and he said they have not been able to get lingonberries from their supplier since the fall.

However I did order a bunch more flavors and will be getting the butternut squash flavor!

WooHoo! I'm sorry about the lingonberries, but glad you're getting the butternut squash.

Bumping this up as the next season starts June 13th. It looks like they're also having a special called the Four Stars All-Stars season 1 and season 2 grudge match with Leeanne (loved her) from season 1 against Marcel from season 2 on June 6th ~ a good lead-in to the new season. Can't find much more info on it - I have the hardest time finding stuff at Bravo's website, sigh.

I just hope the third cast is more like the first. Season 1 made me want to go out and try chefs at different restaurants. Season 2 made me want to stay home That whole cast left me with a bad taste by the end. Hopefully the producers learned something.

It's in Miami! I can hardly wait. Top Chef is my favorite reality show (second if Survivor is good like this season). :-) Bring on the heat!

It says "Gail Simmons" -- has Padma been replaced w/the first host again?

Gail Simmons is the judge from Food and Wine magazine.

I'm still watching Season 2, it just started on Canada's Food channel a month ago.

Whoops -- got her confused w/Billy Joel's wife who hosted the first season...Gail has been there all along as the judge. DOH!

Unfortunately, Padma is back for another season. I was seriously less than impressed with her. Maybe the producers will have listened to the reasons why some of us (and some of the chefs) weren't pleaseed, and will pass that info along? One can always hope, yes?

Oh, yes. Keep hope alive, I always say! I think it will be nice to have Ted Allen joining the judges. Are they planning to still have Padma at the judging table, too? Just thinking that between Gail, Ted, Tom and the weekly guest judge, the table would be getting a bit full.

If Padma's still hosting, she'll still be at the judging table, yes? Unfortunately. <sigh>

Yeah, probably. Just wishful thinking on my part, I guess. But really, 5 is a LOT of judges.

Since it's a Bravo show, maybe they'll follow the format that they used for Shear Genius? Maybe Ted will be the Rene? :-)

That would be cool, but I think that we'll still have Tom "I am not a mentor, I'm a judge" Collichio as our Tim Gunn/Rene. Everything I've read (which, hee...is just two articles) says Ted will be a judge.

I meant to say "Maybe Tom will be the Rene?" You know, he's always hanging in the kitchen.

I wasn't a big fan of Padma last year, but I must admit I loved her the day she co-hosted the View w/Rosie. She was fun, loved the food and an interesting person. There may be hope yet. :-)

Top Chef's 4 Star All Stars is tomorrow night:
Dave and Tiffani Stephen and Harold
versus
Elia and Marcel and Ilan and Sam

$20K for the winning team's charity of choice.

And Season 3 starts June 13th!!! (Three cooking reality shows all at the same time! Gah! I'll NEVER keep 'em all straight!)

Me, either Costa. I'm already getting Next Food Network Star's "Aaron" confused with Hell's Kitchen's Aaron. Everytime someone says something about the latter, I picture the former. To further illustrate my confusion: Food Network guy isn't even an Aaron...his name is Adrien.

Looking forward to tomorrow night! Will be good to see the Season 1 folks again...we'll see how I feel about the Season 2 people.

the season 2 people don't hold a candle to the season 1 ppl IMO. Any of the final 4 could have taken the season 2 title easily, I think.

did y'all watch the preview video on the website? LeeAnne is not in the face off because she has a new job as Culinary coordinator of Top Chef or something like that. And Harold says his restaurant is opening soon (if it hasn't already, not sure when this was taped).

Oh yeah, Here is the link to the video ...
