100th Episode of Top Chef
Tonight marked the 100th episode of “Top Chef.” Yes, I’ve seen them all, most multiple times. The All-Stars had their work cut out for them on this milestone episode.
The Top Chef All-Stars had to compete against Tom Colicchio in tonight’s Quick Fire Challenge. Chef Tom made a dish as fast as he could and then the chefs had to make a dish in that same time or less. Eight minutes and thirty seven seconds is all the time the chefs had to make a dish: difficulty was taken into account, too. Winner would receive immunity and a Toyota Prius.
Top Chef D.C. entered parent territory last night when contestants were asked to cook a school lunch — in an actual school, for actual school kids. The challenge was pegged to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move program, which aims to solve the childhood obesity epidemic. It’s a cause that’s caught the interest of a number of the nation’s top toques (including Top Chef Masters winner Marcus Samuelsson), and it was a thrill to see the Top Chef Season 7 take on it.
The catch for Top Chef‘s contestants? They were ordered to cook healthy four course cafeteria lunches (main, startch/grain, veg, dessert) on a public school budget: $2.60 per student. Egad! Judge Tom Colicchio revealed that this was an elimination challenge close to his heart: “My mom ran a school lunch program for 20 years,” he said. Plus, Tom’s a dad himself.
He’s not the only Top Chef-er who had a vested interest in this challenge. The others with an interest, plus the winning and losing plates, below.
Restaurant entrepreneur and head judge of Top Chef Tom Colicchio, 47, says that as his own boss, he can make his own schedule, and he does — around his baby boy. Colicchio and wife Lori Silverbush welcomed Luka in August and the busy dad admits that he is “dead tired.”
But according to his wife he seems to be handling it all okay. Continue reading »
Tom Colicchio doesn’t just play a Top Chef on the TV. He’s the real deal. He recently spoke to Babble’s Andrea Zimmerman about Thanksgiving, the kitchen and his family.

I love Tom Colicchio. I love watching him on Top Chef and think he’s pretty funny when talking about the after hour bars in Los Angeles and the places chefs hang out after work.

No, it’s not a story on cannibalism – the Top Chef judge’s wife Lori Siverbush gave birth and this was my clever way of working a food-related theme into the title. It was either this or “Tom Colicchio’s Wife No Longer Has Something in the Oven.” See, I’ll bet you’re thanking me now.
