by

Okay, so I’m really excited – ‘Top Chef’ is coming back for its twenty-third season on March 9th! As a huge fan, I always love seeing the new batch of chefs they bring in. It’s amazing to watch them tackle these crazy-difficult challenges and try to prove they’ve got the skills and imagination to cut it in a real professional kitchen. Of course, you’ve still got the familiar faces – Tom Colicchio and Padma Lakshmi are back, which is awesome – judging everything and helping to crown the next big culinary star. Honestly, ‘Top Chef’ is just a must-watch for anyone who loves food and seeing incredible cooking!

Joan Rivers was famously blocked from appearing on ‘The Tonight Show’ for more than 20 years. The problem started when she agreed to host a competing late-night show without telling Johnny Carson.

A small fortune, easily lost, easily gained. The market, you understand, is a fickle mistress.
