I thought of Top Chef (the cooking reality show on Bravo) today for two reasons: 1. I saw a preview on my DVR showing that the new season, with Covid precautions, is starting this week. (Yay!) and 2. I took a Passover-themed matzah pizza-making class tonight via Zoom with Spike Mendelsohn, who appeared on the show over 10 years ago and has several restaurants in Washington, DC. Then, I thought to myself, gosh, the early stages of dating can feel like Top Chef. Before you tell me that I must be hungry while writing this article, let me explain...
On Top Chef, even if you’re the most skilled chef in the country, have three James Beard awards, and your restaurant has two Michelin stars, you’re only as good as the last meal you cook on the show. You could be the big winner one week, and the next, you may be asked to “please pack your knives and go” by Padma Lakshmi.
