Shows Du Jour
by Mike KrumboltzJun 20, 2007
Anybody who's read "Kitchen Confidential" knows the life of a chef is anything but glamorous. Maybe that's why shows like "Top Chef" and "Hell's Kitchen" are so much fun. They're full of sweaty contestents, irritable judges, and bitter humiliations. Every once in a while, there's a mouth-watering meal to gawk at. Thanks to the can't-miss formula, both programs are popular with viewers. In Search, however, only one can be champ...
| Shows Du Jour | |||
| Top Chef | Hell's Kitchen | The Winner is... | |
| Rank in Buzz | Top 2,800 searches | Top 1,200 searches | "Hell's Kitchen" is hotter than you-know-what. |
| Now Airing On... | Bravo | Fox | Bravo may be hipper, but it can't compete with network TV. |
| Most popular personality | Host/judge Padma Lakshmi. | Tyrant/judge Gordon Ramsay. | Padma's beauty inspires a lot of searches, but Chef Ramsay's tantrums draw even more. |
| Strangest Related Search | "Top chef padma scar?" | "Hell's kitchen death" | Both are disturbing. Toss-up. |
| Last words the departed contestents hear... | "Pack your knives and go." | "Piss off!" | We go with "Hell's Kitchen." If you're gonna lose, you may as well lose with as little dignity as possible. |
