In the spirit of Top Chef finale fever, we read a few recent articles on top judge, Tom Colicchio that we thought were worth sharing. Salon has a nice Q&A with him discussing women in the kitchen and how disco (and its demise) led to people's current food obsession and his gravitas as a judge.
"It started, I would say, in the early to mid-'80s, when people realized they couldn't just keep going to discos and snorting coke, and they had to grow up and find another form of entertainment. And it became restaurants. I'm serious about that. I'm not joking."
He's so deadpan! He also addresses his honorary bear status.
"Yeah, I knew what it was. I'm in the restaurant business. I've got plenty of gay friends. I get a kick out of it. But I took it as someone saying, "You need to lose weight." I started running after that."
And speaking of bears, here's another little online piece dissecting not only Tom's bear persona, but all the myriad bears that have been on Top Chef thus far.
