It’s no secret that I love reality TV competitions. That’s why I’ve been excited to watch the current season of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters. The competition is down to the final four chefs. Incredibly, none of them will walk away with money in their pocket from this competition. All of their winnings go to their charities. But that doesn’t stop them from giving it their all.

These superstar chefs all have huge talent and enormous egos. So they pull out all the stops in the competition. Some of them have served as guest judges on the original Top Chef series, but they are given a true wake-up call when they are the ones competing in those impossible challenges. It’s a lot of fun to watch.

So it’s great news for Top Chef Masters fans that the first season of the series will be released on DVD tomorrow. You’ll want be sure to get to your retailer tomorrow so you can get your copy.

As a side note, Top Chef lso has a cookbook out that you may want. The book is entitled How You Can Cook Like a Top Chef. This is how the book is described:

“Covering everything from knife skills to sauces and sous-vide, How to Cook Like a Top Chef teaches aspiring chefs what it takes to be a star in the kitchen. Packed with exclusive content including a foreword by Top Chef: Masters winner Rick Bayless, original recipes from contestants, behind-the-scenes interviews, juicy trivia, and tons of tips and tricks this volume is as indispensable on the cook’s countertop as it is essential reading for Top Chef fans.”

I know I really need this guide!

After a very successful first season, Top Chef Masters is returning to Bravo on April 7 at 11:00 pm ET and will return to Wednesday nights after the premiere. This series had a very different feel from the regular Top Chef series, since the competitors are world-renowned chefs and compete for their charities. It’s fun to see them struggle with some of the challenges.

So far, according to BuddyTV, we know that Kelly Choi will return as the show’s host and the series will bring Gail Simmons into the fold as a regular judge. New York Magazine food critic Gael Greene, Saveur magazine editor-in-chief James Oseland, and British journalist and broadcaster Jay Rayner will return as regular judges too.

I really liked Rick Bayless and it was a pleasure to see him win the first season. Now I look forward to finding out who the season 2 competitors will be.
