See how Michael Pollen, author of In Defense of Food. An Eater's Manifesto turned my philosophy upside down by explaining how the all these celebrity food shows on TV have actually helped turn cooking from a participation activity into a spectator sport! People aren't cooking anymore? Hmmm...
I will be interested to see how this works for Bravo. Top Chef has grown into the top-rated cooking show on cable, but I think it's harder for viewers to connect with celebrity chefs than it is for us to connect with average foodies, like you and me.
Casting calls are now underway across the country for the 6th season of Top Chef on Bravo TV. Here are the dates and information for the following cities: Seattle WA, Atlanta GA, New York NY, Philadelphia PA, Los Angeles CA, and Chicago IL.
