Top Chef Masters - First episode is love fest...

Top Chef Masters premier episode "Masters Get Schooled" was a fun departure from the drama of most of Bravo TV's other shows.  I enjoyed seeing how chefs like Hubert Keller and Michael Schlow respond to the twists and turns of the challenges - we rarely get to see chefs in front of the camera and the show really humanized them for me.

I must say the four chefs battling it out tonight were quite charming indeed... go to Top Chef Examiner for a more detailed episode recap.
