Just as I am about to go in to Top Chef withdrawal (Stefan totally should have won), NBC is introducing their new cooking reality show: The Chopping Block. It’s the US version of Last Restaurant Standing, which is a really excellent show (season 2 is airing now – BBC America). The head judge is Marco Pierre White, who taught Gordon Ramsey to be the way he is (yelling, swearing, plate throwing). His memoir, Devil in the kitchen, is an terrific summer read.

It’s premiering March 11 @ 8pm. Tune in, so we can discuss it together.
