I think I want to watch Top Chef for the first time.
Top Chef has been around for 15 seasons.  I am surprised you have not watched it yet
You know, I just cannot get into reality cooking shows.
There are a lot of competition shows out there, like Chopped, Iron Chef and Masterchef
I've seen a few of those. I think Top Chef is just too fast paced for me.
Top Chef
Top Chef is an American reality competition television series which premiered on March 8, 2006, on Bravo. The show features chefs competing against each other in various culinary challenges. They are judged by a panel of professional chefs and other notables from the food and wine industry with one or more contestants eliminated in each episode. The show is produced by Magical Elves Productions, the same company that created "Project Runway".
The show has spawned multiple spin-off series, including "Top Chef Masters"
host, while some blend the genre with a talk show format. There are also reality competitions within the genre (such as "Iron Chef", "MasterChef", and others), where contestants are instructed to prepare meals within specific requirements under a time limit, for evaluation by a panel of judges (which can include celebrity chefs and other notable personalities).
Cooking shows such as "Top Chef" and "MasterChef" are geared towards competition. There are also reality cooking shows such as "Chopped"
