I wanted to be careful to not spoil anything.

But the competitions aren't based on being a chef, they are based on

being a good cook. They may be "chefs" or restaurant owners in real 

life but nothing in the competition tests that. "Top Chef" has nothing to

do with being a chef and everything to do with being a cook.

Again, I highly respect those contestants and their skills. Those last

four finalists were better than I could ever hope to be. And I was

impressed that they all seemed to genuinely like and respect each other.

That was something I enjoyed on the "Top Chef Masters" show. These

guys are all some of the best in the world and treated each other with

respect.
