Hey, you know what else Wikipedia tells me? That tonight's guest judge, Nigella Lawson, "has been called the 'queen of food porn.'" This might help explain the allure of the preview clip I watched, in which Nigella and the Padma lounge in hotel beds wearing (only?) bathrobes, and call up ro...

Top Chef: Masters Episode 3

Written by Stuart Reb Donald
Quickfire Challenge: One Color Dish The first challenge was the least lame Quickfire to date. Each chef was given a color and then informed that they had to prepare a dish using only that color. It’s cooler than cooking in a dorm room. I’m still not over that yet.
