As if the show were not enough, now we have to contend with the cookbook.  Who needs a Top Chef sitting in your kitchen?  After all aren't we each the top chef's of our own kitchens? What about on your coffee table? Oh my god shades of Sandra Lee--theme decorating.  Throne reading?  What ever would would Thom Filicia say?

Bring it on.  When? In March they say.  But what will they say?  Aren't all of the recipes already on the web site?  Well supposedly the book will dish up 100 recipes from earlier seasons, information about the divas I mean chefs, judges and crew as well as about who develops the challenges and how the some of the show's well known tag lines originated.  I thought all of this behind-the-scenes stuff was already shared in those brilliant blogs? Oh....could they have been holding back some really juicy information for the brilliant book?

And as if the cookbook wasn't enough, look for a game and of course knives to appear on the scene too.

Okay Hattie, Ida and Anne Russ have a t-shirt....I guess we can give Top Chef a cookbook!

Look for that signing at your local bookstore soon enough......
