Joel Robuchon, who has a seismic influence on French food turning it from stuffy to fun and accessible, is dead. Robuchon's impact on food was so enormous, he was called "cook of the century" back in 1990. One of the things he did that has been enduring ... letting diners have a peek into how his food is cooked and plated. He was the first major chef to make it cool for diners to sit at a counter next to the kitchen.

Chicago – Some fans are going to want to send back the latest offering from Chef Tom Colicchio and the team behind Bravo’s Emmy-winning “Top Chef.” At first, it’s a little baffling to see one of the most acclaimed reality programs of all time switch up its formula this notably with a series of starting challenges that will remind viewers of “American Idol.” But I believe fans can adjust and have faith in Colicchio and his belief that the new structure will create the most intense competition yet. It’s a new sauce but it’s ultimately the same amazing dish.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
Everything’s bigger in Texas, so why not start “Top Chef: Texas” with a Gigantic cast? When 29 chefs show up at the Alamo to be greeted by the lovely Padma Lakshmi, the smart ones know something unusual is up. They can’t possibly have that many Elimination Challenges.

Last night's sixth season finale of Top Chef culminated with Pasadena chef Michael Voltaggio taking home the gold, beating out older brother Bryan and nice-guy Kevin. Now that the cat's out of the bag, Michael chatted with EW.com about his win, the sibling rivalry, and those swipes at Kevin's cooking style. How does it feel to finally let the secret out? It's finally nice to be able to talk about it. It's probably the hardest part of this whole process. One thing I might do is start playing poker because I have the best poker face now. Did you tell anyone?...
