Are you a foodie fan like me? The fifth season of Top Chef New York premieres tomorrow and I will be starting on a reality recap each week!

I grew up in New York so excited about where the 17 chefs will go for their culinary challenges.

Padma Lakshmi returns with Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons as judges and taste testers. There will be guests ripping on the dishes too.

To name a few: Martha Stewart (ack!), Foo Fighters, Rocco DiSpirito, Wylie Dufresne (who?), and Natasha Richardson!

Catch it on Wednesday, Nov. 12 at 10/9 C, then tune in here every week for the recap and discussions!

Lisa’s addiction to celebrity news and hip baby gear is chronicled daily at Mrs. Mogul and Mogul Baby.
