"Well, they certainly looked surprised.  Bravo&amp;#039;s much-nominated, never-awarded foodie reality show, Top Chef, finally took home an Emmy last night for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program at Sunday&amp;#039;s 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. Even more surprising \u2013 to everyone involved, no doubt \u2013 was the fact they knocked out The Amazing Race which had taken home an award every year since the award category was first created back in 2003.       Excited and disoriented, the crew and hosts stumbled from their seats and made their way to the stage to blurb out several impromptu thanks to everyone who had a hand in pulling the show together, as well as the Academy of Television Arts &amp;amp;amp; Sciences. One person wasn&amp;#039;t on the stage, however: executive producer Jane Lipsitz. &amp;quot;I want to thank our amazing team at Magical Elves [Top Chef&amp;#039;s production company], including my partner Jane Lipsitz,&amp;quot; said executive producer, Dan Cutforth. &amp;quot;And this is really hilarious: she&amp;#039;s not here tonight, and this is the first time in six years she hasn&amp;#039;t been. She&amp;#039;s watching in New York.&amp;quot;  Top Chef beat out several contenders in addition to Amazing Race: American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, and Project Runway.  There was no word on where the winners went to eat after the awards show but, according to a Tweet from HuffPostFood, Top Chef&amp;#039;s finale episodes for this season were shot in Singapore. Look for them on Sept. 8 and 15. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
