BostonTV: Top Chef Spices Up the End of Summer

topcheftable.jpg Padma, Tom, and all the rest of the gang are back! This season on Top Chef, we're off to Las Vegas, where 17 eccentric would-be top chefs will battle royale for the grand prize and the chance to smackdown with strangers on cable television.

We're so excited, we barely know how to contain ourselves. Top Chef: Masters was meh—who won, by the way?—but if there's one thing Bravo does well, Top Chef Classic is it.

Meet some of the bright eyed and bushy tailed cheftestants:

This one's not from Long Island, believe it or not.

He promises to be some horrific Frankenstein combination of Stephen, Fabio, and Marcel. Look, we did the math:

And there's the usual mix of self-taughts, former caterers, and tattedd up hopefuls. (We assume. It would take too long to read every single bio, okay?) Here's hoping Las Vegas adds just the right amount of crazy to the competition. Toby Young agrees with us, don't you, sir?

Nice bowtie.

Top Chef premieres tonight at 9 PM on Bravo.
