Was an interesting article, thank you..

Good post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you for your information.

In response to poster Jamie, I thought Bryans restaurant was Volt, not Michaels!

Congrats to all.You all are great chefs with different styles.My new goal in life, to try each of your restaurants.I wish all of you could win!!!

The people who make the nominations obviously have great taste/ This was the greatest season of Top Chef so far as all chefs(when you got down to the final 4) were full of class. Good luck guys.

Congrats to all 3! Michael should have been there too...

I'M A FAN OF ALL THREE GUYS, CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!

These are my Top Chefs!!! Congratulations & well deserved!!

Congratulations! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kevin's restaurant "Woodfire Grill" and enjoyed it immensely. This was one of my favorite seasons of Top Chef (and I have watched all of them) because the level of talent was so evident in the last five chefs.

Finally, Bryan gets the recognition he deserved!
Congrats all around.

congratulations guys, I am so happy Brian is in the groupl.

Awesome! Before all these cooking shows....I thought the James Beard award was some guy who had nice facial hair : )

Congratulations!!! Love you all and have a goal to visit each of your establishments!!

Did you expect anything less of these guys? Their talent cannot possibly be contained within a one hour show. Congratulations!

Congratulations to the three of you. Just make sure not to invite the OC Housewives to dine at any of your restaurants!

Congrats to all 3. You are the best of the best. Way to go!

This makes me so happy for them! They are each outstanding chefs in their own ways...BRAVO!

Kudos to all of you. May the best chef win. I love the show Top Chef. I have learned so much about food and the unique ways that the chefs' prepare them.

Well-deserved recognition! Congratulations and good luck!

WOW!!!! Awesome!!! Super congratulations to Tom, Bryan and Kevin on being James Beard semi-finalists!!!!!!! Well deserved!!!!

Congratulations to all!!! What a wonderful nod to your talents.

Congradulations to all the finalists. I have been watching the show since the first season. I had the wonderful oppurtunity this weekend to got to Michael's resturant VOLT, and experience his cooking expertise first hand and was amazed by the menu itself, but also the flavors behind each dish I choose.
