New take on an old favorite

Last night Bravo premiered Top Chef Masters. The idea for the show is to take the Top Chef format and insert instead of new chefs trying to find their way, already famous and influential chefs who've acted as guest judges on the show.

Each week 5 chefs compete and then there's going to be a champion round. They compete for a possible score of 20 stars and whoever had the most stars wins.

The format is exciting and fun. I like it, but not as much as the real Top Chef. First of all it's hosted by Kelly Choi, who's a bit patronizing and not as pretty as Padma Lakshmi, and Tom Callichio is no where near as important to the show.
