Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
The challenges--including a head-to-head competition where pairs of chefs are sent into various New York neighborhoods and told to cook the local cuisine--seem appropriately Big Apple-centric without being silly. |

Top Chef promises more than a clash of personalities; it inspires patriotism. |

Salon Heather Havrilesky
Skilled chefs, great dishes, a few doomed nervous Nellies and lots of petty squabbles ahead? What more could a loyal Top Chef fan ask for? |

By dint of smart casting, imaginative challenges and A-list guests, Top Chef retains its three stars for culinary entertainment. |

Great fun, good personalities and some fine food. All in all, the start to another good season(ing). |

Top Chef is a show where you wouldn't mind having almost any of these people fix your dinner. That may sound like a formula for disaster among these types of shows, but in reality, it works out well. |
