Weird to question the validity of Top Chef considering this season was all stars and guest judged by: - Lidia Bastianich
- Daniel Boulud
- Jeremy Charles
- Maneet Chauhan
- Lynn Crawford
- Normand Laprise
- Susur Lee

I'm thinking I worded that poorly. I'm saying I don't feel being good at a timed competition like that always translates to actual top notch food in a restaurant setting. I actually really enjoy show, and usually seek out the participants restaurants when i'm in another city. None are bad per say, but only a few of them have been what I would consider real top quality. I'd put a place like Vero Bistro up against any of their restaurants. Anything i've had from Nicole here in Calgary, while good, seems to be at the lower end of the food i've tried from these chefs (just my opinion), and the fact that she can slay these competitions makes me think that the best chef doesn't win these tv competitions. The one who can make something prettiest, the fastest does.
