Top chef: Masters season 2

I am totally psyched that they did another season of this show. I have to admit this has got to be one of my favorite cooking shows and I really enjoyed season 1. Anyone else watch this?

The lineup for the semifinale is really rocking this time around, there are some serious heavyweights of the industry participating. I'm really rooting for Jonathan Waxman, Susur Lee, Rick Moonen and Marcus Samuelsson.

In this entry I just wanted to highlight one of the chefs: Susur Lee. For the quickfire challenge he actually got the lowest score from the diners, 2 1/2 stars. You could literally feel his disappointment and anger through the screen but instead of feeling sorry for himself he picked himself up and proceeded on to receving the highest score ever received in the history of Top Chef Masters, a total of 19 1/2 stars. I guess he took his anger and fuelled it into the elimination challenge win. What an awesome comeback!

Even though I don't culinarilly discriminate, I eat almost everything and anything from literally every culinary corner of the world, I feel a sense of pride and joy of having such a skilled and accomplished chef as Susur Lee representing the asians.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Susur! ^^
