Thanks, Huk, so much for wanting to watch it then. We don't get the U.S. Bravo, unfortunately.

Can't wait. Saw an article in today's paper. They say this season, all the chefs are very high quality. It said this show is finally attracting serious chefs, in the beginning, not many serious chefs thought too much of it but with more famous chefs coming to judge, it has built credibility. I have always loved this show and can't wait for it to start again. The Christmas special they had in December was like a little teaser, at least we had Project Runway to look forward to right after and now Top Chef. I wich it would just go Project Runway, Top Chef, Project Runway, Top Chef......and I would be happy. New season after new season of each!

Lumbele - it will start on Food Network Canada generally about midway thru the Bravo season. I avoid this thread from here on in. There is a Top Chef Canada thread. I'll bump it when I have details when it will start.

interesting they have a couple. wonder if they applied as a couple and the show is making an attempt at being gimmicky or it's just a bizarre coincidence.
they sure have alot of people from San Francisco too.

did anyone notice when they did the telephone poll about the two girls having an advantage..the resutls were something like 22% yes and 78 no, but when they announced 'the results are in' they circled the 22% LOL

Yes, Annie, I noticed that and got confused!!

Hey, no one is here talking about this show. Guess that there is not much to discuss quite yet. Seems like they made the right choice. I knew when they showed Nimma going to bed alone, and saying that she was not here to make friends, that she'd be gone soon. Either that or be the "villain."

Do the rest of the contestants know about the two girls that are a couple? If they do, they sure didn't make a big deal out of it.

I saw that error too, Texannie! I had to re-read it and really think about it, wondering if I was in bizarro world.

Julieboo, the board was painfully slow to load last night, I just gave up on seeing what others thought!

Lexie, yes, the girls made their announcement at the pizzaria before they were sent off to do their quickfire challenge. Only one guy seemed to be a bit concerned, but before he finished his sentence, he stated that it didn't matter. I don't actually think that in this show it does matter though. It's the judges who do the eliminating. I suppose other chefs could try to mess with the girls and ruin dishes or something, but this set of judges don't take too well to that I don't think.

Everyone knows about the two girls because the announced it in the pizzaria that they were a couple.

I knew Nimma was gone because her choices were pretty dull, unimaginative and she didnt seem to have any personality at all. the only indication I had that she was a good chef was from what she said, what I saw just showed me someone who was mediocre with no imagination.

The next one I want to see go is the guy who claimed that he was outcooking chefs when he was 10. Love to see guys like that go. Also the guy with the gizmos, I reall do NOT want to see another season of Foam this and Foam that.

Okay thanks. I missed about 2 minutes of the pizzaria scene when I decided to go watch this in bed. That would explain my confusion when I saw the poll about the girls being a couple.

Aaaggghhhh -- what IS it w/foams? I can honestly say I've never had foam added as part of a meal, and I don't think I'd care for it....unless it's on top of a drink, why bother? LOL

Does anyone here know much about cooking? I've watched all seasons of TC, but I still don't know what most of the things are that they talk about in their dishes. I'd love a glossary or something. I haven't heard of a lot of the foods they use, and some of the techniques.
Like, what is a reduction? Ceviche?
