Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

Unlike shows that rely on flamboyant judges for much of their color, Top Chef has mostly risen and fallen on the personality and skills of the contestants. So it's off to a good start this time around. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Top Chef is the best-produced of TV's many cooking competitions (with Emmy nominations to attest to that fact), and the D.C. edition is already capital entertainment. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Chef remains the model for cook-off competitions, balancing casual insight into culinary art with psychological snapshots of the aspiring chefs. This recipe can't be improved on.

Top Chef, meanwhile, is now pure comfort food. Read full review

Hank Stuever

I just don't root for any of them, nor can I seem to work up the froth required to root against them. It's never been about how well they cook; it's about how well they cook with cameras around. Read full review

A well-made cooking competition that has a lack of surprise/excitement and a lot of cooking talent from the contestants...........
