Top Chef Is Back

March 10, 2022 I have been a Top Chef loyalist from the beginning, so of course I was excited to see that the new season had started up. Watching that show inspired me to try some dishes that I had never had before, such as ceviche (an oft-made dish on the show) and gnocchi, among others. It also gives me new ideas about ways in which I can combine ingredients in my own cooking. It's fun to root for the chefs and get to know their personalities as well. I love that they have former contestants come back as guest judges or hosts as well. Rafe was a good sport and watched the first episode with me after I cooked us dinner, and I'm hoping I can rope him into making it a regular date night. :)
