34 Times Tom Colicchio Was Judging You | Best New Restaurant Photos

Another early photo of Tom judging. In this case he is clearly judging the photographer!

It's not just chefs that Tom judges, he occasionally critiques baskets of onions, too!

This isn't the first bowl of risotto Tom's evaluated -- and it won't be the last.

Ever since he was a young chef in a white coat, Tom has been judging you. Just look at that face!

A very attitude-filled judgmental glare.

Sometimes an assessment comes out more effective when you use your hands.

One person Tom hasn't judged yet is Andy! He looks thrilled to see him hiding in the walk-in!

Tom patiently waiting for the chefs to impress him (which we know will result in a judgement).

That is a full-on death stare if we've ever seen one!

Tom is a man who makes sure he analyzes every last tiny bite of food. Each grain of rice will meet his fierce critical lens.

Sometimes Tom's face so accurately conveys "You keep talking, I'll keep judging"

Life is rough for Tom, he has to hold plates of food and stand while everyone else is sitting -- all while judging his surroundings!

This is Tom's "Don't Mess With Me" face.

We can't think of a more intimidating sight than Tom Colicchio leaning forward, staring right into your eyes.

No man can intimidate Tom, not even a cheftestant that is nearly double his height.

Tom might be wearing a baseball hat, but he's not playing any games! Even when he's rocking a casual look away from Judges Table he is judging you!

Even Padma's bright smile can't outshine Tom's speculative glare at the chefs.

Ice blue eyes, ice blue jacket, and and ice cold stare into the souls of every chef in the room.

Who is Tom judging here? The camera man of course. He wants to make sure that he is showing his good side!

Tom finds himself a comfortable spot to settle in the Top Chef kitchen to analyze all that is going on and form his opinions.

What do you think Tom is thinking here? Maybe that there isn't enough soda? Maybe judging which soda will have to back up its knives and go home?

Tom with his partner in crime, Emeril. The dynamic duo show off what their ultimate job as judges is -- to name the next Top Chef.

As the judges discuss who is going home, Tom is deep in thought pondering all the criticisms he's made today.

What do you think the judges were looking at? Whatever it is, Tom has definitely made some opinions about it.

Tom's poker face is on point -- every god judge knows you form an opinion while forming a smirk! That way the cheftestants never see what's coming.

Tom carefully analyzing what Padma has to say. What would a good judge be if he didn't judge his fellow judges?

It certainly doesn't look like Tom agrees with what his fellow judges are saying.

Once again, the poker-face-smirk look never fails.

Is Tom judging something here, or simply befuddled by what he's been giving to eat? If we had to judge, we'd say it's the later.

Tom leans in, to best get a handle on what he's passing judgement on.

There is no sterner image than Tom Colicchio behind the judges table.

Tom waits for Padma to finish before offering his own words of wisdom. But what will they be? Phrases of friendship or judgment?

In this photo the light casts right to Tom -- ensuring his judgment is on full, glorious display.

Don't let that casual finger on the cheek fool you, he's letting his head rest -- not his relentless judgement.
