Oh, there was a new Top Chef last night. It’s still on my TiVo. Discuss it happily in the comments, and I’ll happily ignore you until I catch up.

In the meantime, do you love Top Chef but wish there was more of it? And that it had more of a focus on the competently crowd-pleasing food of your local Chili’s? Well, wish no more! NBC teaming up with the producers of Top Chef to show you what happens when a major network does the Bravo formula: United Plates of America, a cooking/business competition whose winner gets to open a chain of four restaurants.
