Top Chef Season 5

Top Chef Season 5 begins pretty soon, sometime between Halloween and Thanksgiving.

The profiles are up for this season's contestants. Once again noticeably absent is anyone from New Orleans. I guess the two days spent down here interviewing such chefs such as Food and Wine Best New Chef, Ian Schnoebelen, and the other culinary talent of the Crescent City could not match some of the chefs chosen for this season.

Wondering in a city as well known for its food and culinary history, why we have yet to see one chef from New Orleans, when we constantly see chefs from such foodie factories as Boulder, Co. Considering some of the bums that have been on this show, would it have been so hard to have Sue Zemanick compete. But I guess Bravo only wants chefs who have yet to have been discovered.

But then again, who cares?

Haven't you ever notice these shows choose only for failure or "strum und drang" never for real talent. That would boring they think
