Last week the Top Chef Masters season 4 premiered on Bravo and I already know that Art Smith will be the  big  entertainer for this season and possibly be the winner in the end.

 
 
Art Smith is referred to as the master of high end Southern comfort foods. His Restaurant (Table Fifty-Two‘s current brunch menu features blueberry ricotta pancakes, classic shrimp and grits, and  as well as short rib and egg rancheros with crispy tortillas, drunken beans and guajillo salsa. Does it  sound good,  trus me it is. 
 
Granted, it’s no surprise that his particular food is awesome whenever you take a look at his credentials: He is a James Beard award winner that has cooked for the likes of Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama, and was a personal chef for years for Oprah.
 
On the premiere of Top Chef Masters last week, Art Smith did not simply come up to the top of the group based on skill, even though he was on the winning team and made an incredible-looking ”Pan de tre leches” with a candied chocolate nib along with a tequila caramel sauce.
 
Art Smith is all about to be the comedian solution of Top Chef Masters season Four.  He was humorous through the entire show, and here are a few of the best lines right out of the mouth of Art Smith:
 
“I’ve never met Clark and Mark and I keep thinking they’re brothers but then I realize…they’re lovers.”
“He’s a youngster, he’s all full of vim and vigor.”
“There is no beep’ brioche!”
“I cook for billionaires. I don’t have budgets. I. JUST. BUY.”
“He comes in with that big smile and I’m like yeah, yeah, yeah, I smell a rat.”
“Honey please. We’re all tense but that dish needs to be on the buffet. It’s for Missy.”

Meal Planning and Nutrition for OUR Teens
... that lets teens be teens

The percent of US adolescents age 12-19 years who were overweight was 18%(2005-2006)*. Some estimate of late that number has escalated to 1 in 3*.

Close to 35 million overweight children LIVE in developing countries and 8 million in developed countries.

ADOLESCENT WEIGHT LOSS NEEDS TO BE NOW! Following a healthy and nutritious diet is important but the segment of the population to overlook the fact that our overall health is impacted with good nutrition is our teens. They're notorious for poor eating habits because they live on junk food, love fast food and are always eating on the run.

FirmContour can help you learn how to prepare balanced meals for teenagers that can make a big difference in the overall health and well-being of your teens and how good nutrition fuels their growing bodies.

As teens start to consume the right balance of calories and nutrients they will feel, look and perform better and some parents notice a better personality emerges.

Helpful Tip: Everyone benefits when planning, preparing and enjoying meals together is a family affair without cell phone or text message interruption.

Our Teenage Customized Meal Plans cater to teenagers. Our special RD designed teenage meal plans are suited to their taste.  The fun interactive tools help teens reach their personal goals to drop unwanted weight and inches, enhance performance, achieve overall health or just re-shape their growing bodies.

Proper teenage meal planning, nutrition and exercise can help make a difference in the health and well-being of the teens in your life.

“ Top Chef Masters” starts with TWELVE internationally known culinary chefs in opposition to each other to find out exactly how well they will do in the competitive culinary arts competition. Based at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, every week will whittle down the culinary chefs until the finale where one particular chef is actually crowned “Top Chef Master” and will get the grand reward of $100,000 for the charitable organization within their choice. The chefs are providing a lot more than their own cutlery to the table; they are bringing their own egos as well as stirring up the drama... just intended for a good cause.

2011-11-09-top_chef2This thread is for discussion of the Top Chef Last Chance Kitchen mini-episodes that air on BravoTV.com after each week's new episode of Top Chef. In each round, the eliminated chef goes up against the current Last Chance Kitchen champion for a chance to re-enter the main competition later this season. The Eliminated Chefs does get a new chance to get back in the competition. .

TopChef.com is a free fan site  where you can ventilate the outcome of the Last Chance kitchen running every Wednesday after the main show, and  they have a  pretty cool site and as a member you can even write your own articles and  link back to your web site.
