13 Reasons Why December Is Rich in Movie & TV Picks12 of 13
"Top Chef"
I've waited nine long months for "Top Chef" to return. It's been forever since I've had imaginary wine time with Gail Simmons and got her to dish out some the behind-the-scenes gossip. Will this cycle be less bro-y than recent seasons? Ever considered a "Chopped" crossover episode? These are some of the questions I'd ask as the empty bottles pile up. I wish the show would reinstall former cheftestant and bonafide weirdo Hugh Acheson on the panel instead of ex-"Masterchef" judge Graham Elliot, but tattooed chefs are all the rage. Meanwhile, "Top Chef" will remain the most comforting and beloved dinosaur of all the reality competition shows. — Arno
"Top Chef" premieres Thursday, Dec. 7 on Bravo
