It should come as no surprise that I'm a "Top Chef" fan of the highest degree. While some steer clear of finding out "how the sausage is made" when it comes to their favorite things so that the mystique is not ruined – remember those early 2000s shows that "revealed" how magic tricks were done? – I decided to throw caution to the wind to find out about the inner workings of one of my absolute favorite shows.
