Top Chef's Stefan and Ariane Begin Culinary Adventures In LA
Top Chef Masters, the spin-off to Bravo's popular culinary reality show, sees some of the nation's most accomplished chefs competing in familiar challeneges—albeit slightly tweaked from the original's—as they vie to win money for various charities. While the series is missing a few of its predecessor's key elements, namely sultry Padma Lakshmi as host, some familiar faces have made guest appearances, oftentimes as contestants.
The Masters website features cast members from seasons past blogging about food, recreating winning dishes from the show, and extended commentary from judges. As wanderlusters, however, we're more interested in the cross-town LA antics of Season Five's Stefan and Ariane, who have an online video series aptly titled "Stefan and Ariane's Culinary Adventure."
Together, the cheery but pompous Stefan and effusive Ariane hop in a car and explore LA culinary hotspots, talking about the mood and feel of the neighborhoods they visit along the way. Actually, Stefan does more of the talking, which makes perfect sense given his TV persona and the fact that he spends most of his time living and working in the city. So far, they've strayed from familiar areas like West Hollywood in favor of highlighting places in Downtown LA and Venice.
