Just because the latest season of Top Chef is over doesn't mean we here at the Top Chef Podcast are ready to give up doing what we do every week. That's why we'll be around for a few more weeks analyzing and kvetching about Top Chef Las Vegas, but with an extra surprise – interviews with cheftestants!
For this special podcast, we've saved the best for last: Jeff and I interviewed the winner of Top Chef season 6, Michael Voltaggio. He dishes on the surprise of his win, Padma's slip-ups, his other creative passions, and how he's dealing with being the winner of Top Chef.
After the interview, I give my review of the newly released Top Chef: The Quickfire Cookbook.
Bonus: Has Michael redeemed his egotistical ways in my eyes? Listen to the podcast to find out!
Enjoy! (Follow Michael on Twitter: @MVoltaggio)
