Top Chef Texas: Episode 15: It's like the Olympics! Or something.
By Sarah Hello, Canada! The four remaining chefs -- Lindsay, Sarah, Paul, and Beverly -- arrive in Vancouver, B.C. with new 'dos and new attitudes. Seriously, how much of a lag is it between the first episodes and the final episodes? Enough to make the chefs see how they looked... Continue reading
