TOP CHEF (Season 3)
Premiere Summer 2007
Bravo’s hit series “Top Chef 3″ takes over Miami Beach for a third sizzling season featuring a top-notch judging panel of authoritative culinary experts, including host Padma Lakshmi, award winning cookbook author; lead judge Tom Colicchio of Craft Restaurants; as well as judges Gail Simmons of Food & Wine magazine and “Queer Eye’s” food and wine expert and Top Chef regular Ted Allen. A delight for all the senses, “Top Chef 3″ features the most “seasoned” contestants yet, as well as special guest judges that include some of the culinary world’s most renowned figures. Miami’s hot sun fuels the competition as Bravo pulls back the curtain on this glamorous business and captures the drama, intrigue, and high emotion typical in the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of a busy kitchen. Muy caliente — only on Bravo! “Top Chef” is produced by Magical Elves, with Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz serving as executive producers.
