Don't care where it is! Can't wait. TCMasters has been great but nothing can beat Top Chef! That would be great if they do next show in Philly.

They should do this show in Philly. We have great resturants. Vegas sucks.

I enjoy Masters but I miss me some Tom!

when does it come on???????

Good to know I was getting a Padma jones after watching TCMasters. I miss Tom too. Not Toby though, I think he should be shown the door. TC doesn't need a "Simon Cowell".

The whole show is a FAVOR sensation with the chief's competitiveness,the judge's[Padma,Tom,Gail and the new guy] who make most dishes look scrumptious with their stylish palate's. Kellly Choi is hot & loved the Masters show! Can,t wait for Las Vegas season six with Padma and the gang?

I can't wait for season 6.
My hubby and I are addicted to Top Chef.
Masters is ok, but I miss Tom, Padma, and Gail!

Thought Season 5 was the absolute best. Can't wait for "6". Doesn't matter what city, just want to know when it starts.

I can't wait for season 6. i don't care what city its hosted in. How can i find out when it starts? I do not like Top Chef Masters and i won't watch it.

Since everything in the USA is about who can pay the most, I'd say the sleazy mayor of Las Vegas "bought" season 6 somehow.

What about Philly?

LV, home of the 'All you can eat buffet" !! How sad, they could have chosen a city with real cultural roots, like New Orleans, Sante Fe, Portland Oregon, Boston, Austin Texas, and probably a hundred more ethnic, diverse sites. But, with zero local traditions, it will be interesting to see what challenges they come up with. Now just let us know when to tune in. BTW, TC Masters is genius, nice to see the critics getting critiqued! Now they know it isn't as easy as they thought.

I lived in Vegas for 6 years it is a great showcase for chef's but I think there are so many other cities that would have been a better choice. Austin TX is where I'm right now and this would be a great city for it.

When does the new season start????

Vegas will be great as its become somewhat more classy in the past few years-there are a lot of great restaurants there now backed by famous chefs. Not quite as many all you can eat buffets anymore. If I had a choice though, it would be Denver all the way!

I think Detroit would be a great place for a season. The "Motor City" is on the way out, and it needs something new to save Detroit. Besides, these chefs are experts with knives, they would be one of the few people that would be safe.

When, when, when????? Can't wait for season 6!

I agree - Cleveland should be on the list for next season!! We have got many amazing restaurants - top notch - Tremont, Ohio City, SHaker Square and yes, even Chagrin and Beachwood have amazing amazing restaurants. Lots of local love and flavors here.

p.s. How do you find out about opportunities to attend tastings or events where the chef's cook?

Yeah Cleveland OH would have been a great choice! We are home to Iron Chef Michael Symon and his 2 restaurants as well as The Great Lakes Brewing Company, known for its fabulous beers! What a great episode that would make...Must use Great Lakes beer in your food! Just like the do at the brewery's restaurant....beer brats, salad dressing made from beer, etc. We also are home to the Cleveland Chop House which serves the BEST filet mignon I have EVER eaten....sooo good, melts in your mouth. Not to mention home of Lebron James. Can you imagine an episode with the King James that would benefit one of his local charities. That would be awesome!!!!!

Yeah Cleveland would have been a great choice. We have a Whole Foods market and we are home to the current Iron Chef's Michael Symon and his 2 restaurants as well as the Great Lakes Brewing Company. What a great episode that would make! Having the cheftestants use the Great Lakes beer in their food! Just like they do at the brewery's restaurant. Beer brats, salad dressing made from beer, etc....

Disapointed! When I think of food, I think of the rivers that flow with salmon and trout of the great lakes. I think of the farmer on his hands and knees checking the soil to ensure his crops are the best locally where he can sell them himself with pride knowing he did good. The fields of beef grazing under a sky that never ends. Grandmas farms, where the chicken still run wild (until dinner time). I picture the whole family at the farmers market planning a special saturday night or sunday meal. NO! not now! Its the lights of Las Vegas. The place of lies and deceit. A world thats like a trap. Where once you go in, leaving is next to imposible.....So what kind of show can I expect? I gasp at the thought.

I agree... worst choice for a "reality" TV show. Las Vegas is a waste in most ways. Expect more phoniness.

Las Vegas should be fun to watch, if you concentrate on techniques and prep of the food. Concentrating on love stories and editing the show to confuse the audience is all wrong. The best performers through out the entire series should count for something, like possible tie breakers for those in the decision on which of the "two to be removed in this show". Also for me if Toby the sarcastic critic is on this season, I'm afraid that will do me in, and I have watched for every show and every season.

Hosting the show in Las Vegas really sends a terrible message--that it's ok to be wasteful and self indulgent; and that that's what modern cooking is all about. Nothing grows or is raised in Las Vegas--everything is shipped in, which is an environmental disaster. I understand that it's just entertainment, but with the climate of the country now, hosting the show in a city where the chefs could work with local farmers, talk about sustainability, etc. would have been more logical and appropriate.

I live in Las Vegas and am pretty disappointed that everyone is upset that it's going to be here. Las Vegas has tons of variety for culinary choices. We have everything here! We're the whole world wrapped up into one long stretch of road! When people think of Vegas they think of parting. But Vegas is much more than that. I think Las Vegas is a great choice!

Las Vegas????? It's a great place for "Greatest Hit's" dining, but no access to local, sustainable products. I would've like to have seen it take place somewhere in middle america. What about Kentucky?

should have been san francisco

Las Vegas, get real....so disappointing!

What organic garden grows at 115F...what livestock lives in the desert (snakes and lizards?)....there are so many places great places you could have chosen.

Yes, Vegas has satellite restaurants of famous chefs, so I guess you guys pick it for easy bookings.

Please don't "jump the shark" on successful show....we have already seen a show in LV...it was The Real World and it sucked!!!

Does anyone know when season 6 will air?

Is it a secret when season 6 begins?????????

I would of thought New Orleans or Savanah, but believe it or not Cleveland Oh, is a very diverse city and it would also be a great place. The city is all about food. There isnt any kind of food you cant find. There are food festivals year long. Would love to see their take on Paprikash or Pierogi,s, Corned Beef, Perch and Walleye. Very tired of monkfish. Who eats that anyway?

Very disappointed. There are so many multicultural cities in this country that could have been chosen. Why Vegas? It's all glitz, hype and fake. Where will the contestants shop for FRESH produce and protein? In every city previously chosen, there was always talk of it's history and ethnic influences on local fare. Not much in the line of true historical influences for culinary masterpieces in Las Vegas. I thought TC was of a higher level. Yes, I probably will watch, as I do like the show. I only hope the producers will do a better job next season.

Does anyone know when the new Top Chef season 6 will be starting?

'scuse me... LAS VEGAS??? Why not America's finest city,
San Diego Ca? I mean come on guys,imagination is key in the Top Chef's recipes,shouldn't the host city selected be just as imaginative?

Why not New Orleans? Maybe next season?

Las Vegas. Humph! What a lack of creativity and initiative. It is so obviously where all the losers hang out. Give the country a break. Is this just another attempt to yet screw up another good show?

I think a city with a great culinary history and ambiance—and one that isn't everyone's first thought—would be Baltimore. With its port connections, a variety of ethnic areas, and the beauty of the Inner Harbor, Baltimore would be an ideal location and would surprise a lot of viewers not familiar with it.

does anyone know if padma is judgeing this year?will padma be back next year?thanks jackie thompson

I understand the Vegas haters but I do think this gives the show some outstanding opportunities for Larger than life events/challenges. It should be fun. One problem I would see would be if they also use the desert for challenges they could detract from such opportunities in Arizona, NM, etc, if the show moves there down the road-yet they could use this as a chance to hit all those spots as one challenge short trips(?)

Quote:
"HoHum
Las Vegas?!
That is very anticlimatic and a bit of deja vu because it was where the Season 1 finale was held. It's a town of illusion, soullessness and polyester clothing. Are there any fresh markets available or is everything vacuum packed?
So - big deal. Yawn. "

We Have a Winnah!

What about the Midwest?

St. Louis? Kansas City?

Missing out on some great stuff here...

-Jim

Finale; Texas? Alaska? Canada?

Will Chef Anthony Bourdain possibly be a guest judge? Love the show. Looking forward to the 6th season in Vegas.

l.v. silly choice; new orleans maybe a better choice, ? boston, washdc, phili, st louis, probably any other smaller city.

Let's hope the quality of the chefs and the food they create greatly surpasses the quality of the selected city.

What about Providence? The gourmet food capital!!! AND there are 2 Whole Food here that are less than a mile away from each other...

I would have loved to se it in new orleans....I totally agree that LV is an outpost- hey what about Memphis?

I am also disappointed in Vegas as the choice. When you think of cities and their specialities Vegas doesnt come to my mind. Somewhere in Texas would have been nice. Their is a lot of variety to choose from.

Philadelphia has some fantastic restaurants and chefs that would be a great choice....From SW Florida awaiting season 6 have a great day!!

Top Chef used to be one of my favorite shows, but after Hosea won last season I do not think I will be watching again.

vegas will be great-- how about someplace a little different next time.. austin texas....????

heard season 6 was gonna be at the air base in vegas what date an time will season 6 start i love the show an have seen them all cant wait

I'm disappointed it's Las Vegas! The Pacific Northwest or the South would have been a better choice - I think. Maybe next time.

I am watching this show all the way from Amsterdam (the Netherlands) I lived in Chicago two years ago since than I have been followoing this awesome show!!!! Come over here some times.. we have do have some great food and chefs over here!!

I don't care where they cook, let's just start cooking!!

Hey everyone. Take it easy. True that Las Vegas does not have the deep cultural roots of many other cities but it does have some advantages. The variety of excellent "outpost" restaurants has created a deep pool of culinary talent and, contrary to popular opinion, there are also many fine locally spawned restaurants such as Andre's, Lotus of Siam and Rosemary's Cafe. If the show plays to the variety available and avoids the Vegas cliches it could be very interesting.

Love the show! Been a fan since the beginning. I don't mind Vagas for season 6 at all. It's a fun town with lots going on! Should be interesting to see what happens there!
What i do mind is all the commercials and advertisements that have taken over the show. I know it pays the bills, but Top Chef has sold out completely!
Fine, keep the "Dr. Pepper" challenges and product placement, but get rid of all the extra commercials and lets see more of the show!

Did I make it as acheftant? I"m ready to cook

Really REALLY disappointed in LV as the choice.

Think about the regions of the country you HAVEN'T been - the deep South (Savannah, GA), the Southwest (Tucscon, Phoenix, Tempe), the Northwest (Portland, Seattle). And Whole Foods is even in most of those cities, if you're still tied to them from an advertising POV.

LV is known as an "outpost" destination - chefs have their original restaurants elsewhere, and when they decide to "go global", Vegas is usually one of the stops to open in a hotel.

Come on producers - think of a REAL food city that has many different, interesting marketplaces for next time!

disappointed it's not new orleans

Can't wait for the next season and I think Vegas is a great place to hold it.

How about Charleston SC ?? New Orleans?? The food in these two precious gems of the south is the absolute best of the best. Vegas is not what I think about when I think of going to for great food. Even ST.Louis would of been better!!

Why Las Vegas???!!! Why not Dallas or even San Antonio or maybe Austin??? I'm sorry, but Las Vegas is NOT a food town!! When was the last time that the producers of Top Chef was OFF the Strip?? You can't even find a resturant open past 10pm, except for Denny's or IHOP! NO WAY!

How about doing it in Santa Fe? The food is fabulous and the weather is great.

Cant wait for the season to start. What about Tampa, FL next time???

This will be the best season yet!!!!!! I cannot wait. Top Chef is my crack!

Well all you will have to tune in because yes we do have Farmer's Markets - with actual farms within town and a few just outside of town...shows you how much you can learn if you got off the Strip once in a while.

Maybe that is why they want to have Top Chef here, to show that we are a real city with all the perks just like any other city...we just happen to have one really famous road.

We are just as good as Boston, Santa Fe & Denver, I have been to them all so I am familiar with what they have to offer, stop 'hating' Vegas and find out for yourselves. I hope with all the negative chatter the show actually does show us as a real city...as we are.

Where is Padma this season????!!!!!!!

When does the next season start! I can't wait!

I thought top chef was coming to Los Angeles and people could sign up to be a food taster.

How about Paris? Tokyo, or Beijing?? Rio? For either locations or finales??

When does Season 6 begin? I'm very impatient.

When does season 6 begin???

I have to admit... I am a bit disappointed that Las Vegas is the choice for Season 6. Everyone knows what Vegas has to offer, even if you've never been there. I love Vegas, but I think that another less popular city would have been better. We could all see the culture, etc of that city. How about overseas... Top Chef London, Paris, Barbados, anyone??

I'm excited to see top chef season 6. I've watched every season and they've been great. Let me know when season 6 starts so I can watch it.

LV is kind of a ho hum choice. Why not try a city that is full of wonderful food and hospitality? Give Atlanta some thought. New York, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago and Hawaii were all great. Let's hope this next one lives up to the past seasons.

as long as the next season has a better choice of a winner i don't care where it's held. can't wait for the new top chef.

Well after the hosea/leah tabloid tv event, this fits the trend of the show going the way of trash tv.

The choice of Las Vegas is BFD!
Been there, done that already. Don't you people remember the Top Chef S-1 Finale was held there? The way the contest goes, it might as well be "Top Meal" or "Tom's Favorite". Who Cares? Not me...

Having worked in Vegas... I cant wait to see what they have planned. In the city where anything is possible and you have everything you could ever imagine... this is going to be one crazy season!

i can't wait...I love this show to death. VIVA LAS VEGAS!!! They should do a challenge where the chefs have to create a romantic picnic for cuples who ride the boats at the venitian.

Las Vegas is a WONDERFUL choice!! There are so many world renowned chefs that have restaurants there. My husband and I go to Las Vegas for the FOOD. I, for one, am looking forward to the upcoming season.

PHILADELPHIA NEXT PLEASE!!!

I thought it might be Seattle, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta, or even Denver. If we are true Top Chef fans we don't care where it is....we can only hope they do it better next time!

How do I nominate a Top Chef contestant?

Waiting patiently for LV season.

Las Vegas YAWN. But I love the show and will watch anyway.

I really wish they would consider holding it here in Kansas City.......we are definitely more than just barbecue (although there is not a thing wrong with our 'cue!)---great farmer's markets, professional sports, the Power & Light district---------the list goes on & on!

When will they start filming?!? I can't wait!

Lets go to Kansas City, Memphis, Santa Fe, Nm and Honolulu for the upcoming seasons. All four towns feature some outstanding food. Vegas, even though i lived there for 6 years, is a bit played out on t.v. Why not have local chefs only in an upcoming season of top chef? By the way when does the new season of top scallop, i mean top chef start?

very happy.. very happy.. very happy... can't wait.. can't wait..

I would like to know whether Padma is still the host? i love watching her and her partner.
