Tom Colicchio went on the
Today show this morning to offer an early
Top Chef spoiler of the new season. Colicchio claimed the judges were deadlocked on dishes prepared by thirteen cheftestants, so he asked
Today's Meredith Viera, Kathy Lee Gifford, Natalie Morales, and Hoda Kotb to help out. The challenge was, of course, to create something you could prepare on
Today. The winner would have the chance to make his dish on the morning show. A tomato, watermelon, and Feta-cheese salad with basil oil and balsamic vinegar received top honors. Amuse Biatch, who alerted us to the clip, has a great minute-by-minute commentary.
