With this spin off and also,Top Chef Academy, I wonder how thin this concept can be spread? Not that I'm complaining! I'm just going to have to chose between these shows because I can't be on a diet of reality tv - you know, bad for the soul.
Ellen, the "Academy" show is just "Chef Academy." Not affiliated with TC except that Jean-Christophe Novelli was a judge last season. But, there has been talk about a Top Chef Junior show that may have been filmed but still no word on air date. Either way, that's 1 TC and 3 spin-offs (Masters, Junior, Desserts)....
I am so excited about this show! Desserts are very visual so it should make for good television.
