Top Chef New York New Orleans: And the Winner Is...

For the sake of those of you who have this little television nugget on TiVo and plan to save it for the weekend, we'll keep the answer below the jump. For those of you who have some things to discuss ...

Top Chef Finale: Who Will Win?

Well, we've recovered from our Mardi Gras hangover, and we're all set for tonight's finale of Top Chef in New Orleans. From what we've read, it's close. We're hooting for Carla, but we have a feel...

Is Domino's Pizza Channeling Christopher Kimball?

We often turn to Christopher Kimball for advice on cooking and kitchen products, but take-out pizza from an international chain? Not so much. That's why we were so confused when we caught a glimpse ...

Top Chef New York New Orleans: Finale, Part 1

The final four have moved down to New Orleans for the finale (Hello, Emeril!), and we would have eaten just about anything that came out of the kitchen in last night's episode. Beignets, check. Gri...

Check It Out! Full Episodes of Food Network Shows Online

It looks like we spoke too soon when we said major networks weren't posting food shows online! Given all the time we spend looking up recipes on their website, you think we'd have noticed that the Foo...

Top Chef New York: What Would Your Last Meal Be?

Ours would not be squab, we'll tell you that. But squab and peas is what Jacques Pépin would want for his last meal, so that's what Carla cooked. Lydia Bastianich asked for roast chicken. Wylie...

Cooking Inspiration: Do You Watch Cooking Shows on YouTube?

Like Dana and her obsession with Jamie Oliver's back episodes and Nigella Lawson clips, we often turn to YouTube for a little dose of inspiration and extra time with our favorite food gurus. What abou...

Top Chef New York: Of Eel and Eric Ripert

Have you ever seen someone skin an eel? It's fascinating. Last night's episode of Top Chef was on par with the standards we expect: a high-stakes test of skills, no cheap sponsor challenges, and a ...

Top Chef New York: Super Bowl Showdown

We're going to try to resist all of the football puns swimming around in our minds right now and just tell you that we thought last night's Top Chef was fun. And we actually learned a few things ab...

Top Chef New York: Restaurant Wars!

We're quite sad this morning over the outcome of last night's Top Chef. It was the Restaurant Wars episode, which we thought went abnormally well compared to other seasons. (Maybe we're biased towa...

Kitchen Solutions from "Take Home Chef" Curtis Stone

We just noticed that "Take Home Chef" Curtis Stone has his own line of kitchenware. We were introduced to Curtis last spring at the Housewares Show, where he did a bang-up job as spokeschef for Brevil...

Top Chef New York: E-I-E-I-O (and Really Good Chicken)

Given the snow coming down outside our window here in New York, the setting of last night's episode of Top Chef—the sunny landscape of Dan Barber's Stone Barns—was almost cruel. It was sort of ...

Top Chef New York: And a Martha in a Pear Tree

On last night's Top Chef, we got Martha Stewart, Natasha Richardson, the Harlem Gospel Choir, and dishes inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas. It was dizzying (these one hour and 15 minute episodes...

Top Chef New York: Make-Your-Own Sushi at a Bridal Shower?

No, no, no Gene. No thumbs up. You served deconstructed surf-and-turf sushi at Gail Simmons's bridal shower, then neglected to tell the guests how to eat it. We won't reveal here whether or not Gen...

Blogging Oprah: Giada's Chocolate and Brie Panini

Giada De Laurentiis was on Oprah on Friday making easy appetizers for holiday parties. There were fried ravioli and gorgonzola crostini, but this cheese-and-chocolate combination had Oprah a little fl...

Top Chef New York: Lights, Camera, Kathie Lee Gifford

Seeing as last Thursday was Thanksgiving, we didn't post our usual recap of Top Chef. But we're back with our thoughts on last night's episode, which had us getting pretty philosophical about the b...

Top Chef New York: Hot Dogs and Angry Chefs

Last night on Top Chef, the contestants had to make a hot dog that stood up against New York's finest and then serve lunch at Tom Colicchio's restaurant, Craft. The diners were all rejected applica...

Pushing Daisies: The Pies

We know some of you are fans of "Pushing Daisies," and we recently discussed the show's honey-related story lines, but we could hardly let this month pass without a mention of the show's primary food ...

Top Chef New York: Ethnic Foods Galore

We're a little late to the after-party with our Top Chef recap (we're blaming a DVR on the fritz), but we were inspired and excited by this episode. It looks like a good season. Note: We reveal th...

Top Chef Stephanie Izard Talks to The Kitchn

The new season of Top Chef, set in New York City, premieres tonight, but it really doesn't seem that long ago when Stephanie Izard won in Puerto Rico, becoming the first female Top Chef. We loved Step...

Top Chef: The Computer Game

Top Chef: New York premiers tomorrow night, and Top Chef: The Game is in stores today. We've been playing around with this new computer game in anticipation of the new season. Read on for our first im...

Mad Men Menu: Have You Ever Tried Mexican Food?

We've made no secret about our serious love for all things "Mad Men," and we're sad to see the show's second season come to an end this Sunday. (Too soon!) Our favorite ad execs and their significant...

Top Chef Comes to New York City!

It doesn't seem that long ago that Stephanie Izard won Top Chef Chicago, but Bravo is already gearing up for Season 5 in our own food-loving city of New York. The show starts November 12, but the ch...

Jamie Oliver's Flavour Shaker: Have You Tried It?

Jamie Oliver wants to replace your mortar and pestle with something he thinks is a little more useful. See, he was in his home kitchen (read our book review!) with his trusty pestle, but it was taking...

New Look for the Food Network Website

Have you seen the Food Network's new site? We're not sure how long ago they re-vamped it, but we're loving one particular section, evidenced by the screen shot, above......
