Top Chef is a entertaining show that tells us nothing about working in a restaurant. Eighty percent of my job is fixing problems. Give them ten pounds of overcooked steak to make something tasty. Cheddar beer dip.. made with cream cheese, fix that. I also think they should build a pantry throughout the challenges. So if the contestants have $300 to spend at local upscale grocery store and only need $250, let them buy a few things to keep around for the following challenges. It would show a level of planning that all kitchen works must have. This one apron, two chefs gimmicky stuff is dumb. What else would make a good challenge?
