gone global: my kind of reality

i like a little competition.  i started my day with a heaping spoonful of Padma and Tyra.

While working on a post about ANTM (don’t judge me, yet) and its many cosmopolitan sisters, I got to wondering.  Where are my international editions of Top Chef?  I’m a Top Model, Project Runway, Top Chef kind of girl.  PR and NTM get me all kinds of global.  What’s going on with Top Chef?

I’m getting a little satiated.  It’s not any of the hosts or judges, either.  I really liked TC:Masters.  I’m kinda excited about the dessert show.  Seeing Stefan on the Reunion Dinner made me feel things, naughty things.  It’s just that as I’m learning about different parts of America and the intensely local cooking scenes where they film each season, I want to see that around the world.  I want to hear “pack up your knives and go” all cockney-ed out or en français or just, maybe, you know, something else.

Now, of course, technically, I’m not supposed to be able to watch PR:Canada or NZNTM.  If you think that ship hasn’t long sailed, well, then I’m Steve Jobs’ long lost daughter with some Apple stock to sell.  Make me happy.  Franchise the format to someone who can pay and do it justice and get on with it already. Thx.
