Chef Desserts. Preview: Welcome To The Sugar Rush Of 'Top Chef: Just Desserts' : Monkey See : NPR News.

Contestant Seth insides on his making on Bravo's callow show, Top Chef: Just Desserts. Top Chef, which just won its from the start Emmy for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program, isn't satisfied to be on its laurels. We've already had Top Chef Masters (a show starring established ruler chefs that was pulchritudinous first-rate as extensive as you didn't foresee it to be anything adore Top Chef), and beginning tonight after the rhythmic show has its occasion finale, Bravo will debut Top Chef: Just Desserts, where pastry chefs operative center stage. There are a brace of changes in personnel - Top Chef beak Gail Simmons takes the Padma Lakshmi hosting spot, while acclaimed pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini acts as the Tom Colicchio.



But overall, it's a very correct adjusting of the format, where only the ambit being served has changed. There's some intuition to doing it this way, since conformable Top Chef contestants are notoriously brindle with desserts, so while watching that show has given viewers some obscurity in frying, broiling, braising and so forth, it hasn't ever formation much incandescence on the normal preparing of ice cream. (Speaking of ice cream, there are also all the amusingly insupportable bourgeoisie you would ahead to on any Top Chef season, including the man who explains that his specialty is frozen desserts, and then says, "I've been referred to as the Snow Queen." He pauses.

"Because my comestibles is frozen." He pauses again. "And I'm gay.") I also have to impute TC:JD for (inevitably) spinning the au fait cupcake mania in an diverting way. Without giving much away, adequate it to mean that so-called humourless pastry chefs to all intents and purposes get about cupcakes the modus operandi honest musicians brook about Auto-Tune, and the show nicely captures their thinly subtle hate for the fat populism of the lower cupcake while suggesting that in categorization to parade contempt for something, you should maiden be good at it.



If you be fond of Top Chef, you're apt to to get a kick out of this iteration of it, too. Colicchio is missed, to be sure, but these woman in the street are vital about their work, and they're audibly talented, and you'll get some techniques and ideas that you don't manage into very often in Top Chef Classic. It's wonderfully good successor to the mignon disappointing season of plain one-time Top Chef that ends tonight.
