Some really talented chef's, although lacking in a true representation of the entire country, should produce some great food. But when the likes of Doogie Howser is a judge IT'S OFFICIAL-TOP CHEF HAS JUMPED THE SHARK ! I was a big fan at first but as seasons passed it started to wane with some huge a##holes ( remember Stefan, Hosea and the Italian guy he was so great I forgot his name ) and egotistic neurotics ( like the last woman don't mean to be sexist as there were a number of men that fit here in seasons before ) with a lot of failed execution of dishes by them all too many for a "TOP CHEF". But again Doogie Howser PLEEZE how much did he pay to be a judge. Is he trying to jumpstart his beyond dead career. Isn't he a regular on Hollywood Squares or Nickelodeon or Mickey Mouse Club. Why not me as a judge then as I refuse to eat or even taste any organs and will not hesitate to spit something bad out on the spot. But this is only my opinion pleeze don't take offense if you like it now as everyone has their own opinion and are entitled to it. So enjoy the show or simply don't watch it, the latter being my choice.

I'm weary of 'cheftestants' (ouch) and cooking as show biz. I gave up most of the Food Network long ago because of this trend. I don't consider sitting on my duff watching someone else cook a spectator sport I want to pursue.

Haha, sorry guys--consider 'cheftestant' out of the vernacular. =)

Jay Rayner is quite well know in the UK. I travel to Europe often and have seen him and his scathing comments many times. I love him and his rapier wit. I'm excited he's on this side of the pond. He will not be star-struck and won't put up with egos.
I like the line-up and am looking forward to a season of balls-to-the-wall cooking...

Not on board with 'cheftestant' either. Let it die here and now...

The chefs seem fine (and pretty easily recognized) but WTF with the judges and host??

what a joke. ONE from New orleans, almost nothing representing the real south, no one from the Pacific NW, no one from the Twin Cities, the southwest. I know many chefs probably said "no" they don't need the publicity/don't have the time, but come on. Sure, so many great restaurants are based in Manhattan but the most memorable meals i've had were eaten in Minneapolis and in New Orleans and in some great places in the East Bay.

And sorry but the neologism "cheftestant" makes me queasy.

So watching this. Hopefully the actual professionals won't act as childish as the contestants on the regular show. I have no idea who Kelly Choi is but it's not like Padma is a fantastic (or even sensical) host so who cares.

@iheartcupcakes: I'm sure you will be able to find them on the t*****t networks! Not that I'm advocating such a thing. ;)

Oh My God!!!! Look at those names! I am beyond psyched. This show has the potential to be freakin' amazing. Especially kinda neat to see some guest judges now on the firing line. I can't wait for this show.

I'm a fan of Jay Rayner, so I'll watch it no matter what.

But what really shocks me is the top tier chefs that are risking public embarrassment on national TV. This could be interesting, or tamed down dull to protect their reputations.

@thatgrrrl I'm with you! Such a low percentage of women is really disappointing.
