Only one thing is easing my sorrow that the "Sopranos" will end on Sunday, and that's the return of "Top Chef" on Bravo. Tonight at 10 p.m. is an All-Stars grudge match and then the new season, taped in Miami, begins next week.
I lost a lot of respect for Ilan, the winner of last season. And not just because he tried to wrestle his fellow chef Marcel to the ground and shave his head. When I was in New York recently, a group of us tried to get a table at Casa Mono, the Spanish restaurant where Ilan worked. The wait was too long so we went elsewhere. But first I scanned the menu and recognized several dishes that Ilan "borrowed" from Chef Andy Nusser and cooked on the show.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it certainly isn't original, is it?
