Amusing.

Y'know, for a complete non-foodie, I'm utterly addicted to Top Chef. Of course, I have no fashion sense and love Project Runway as well.

This is the kind of reality I love. Skilled people being forced to push those skills to the limit. Amazing what they can come up with in limited time with very limited resources.

Not that I'd eat most of it. And I feel guilty for contemplating a microwave burrito.

As a foodie, I'm addicted to it.

It's a reality show I can enjoy, because the players have no real control.

Some of it might be from my being able to build the flavors (there have been some things which cause me to go, "WTF... avocado and baconn ice cream?).

Most of it comes from knowing I can't compete at that level, but that I can do most of what they do.

Oh, yeah! Actually, I love all of Bravo's reality shows... Top Chef, Project Runway, Top Design, Shear Genius... They're all brilliant.

Scary thing is, I've learned a shit load about fashion watching Project Runway and have much deeper understanding of the entire process of cooking.

Now it's Chef Ramsey on Hells Kitchen that gets you into the groove of what goes on in a kitchen.
