With the debut of Bravo's Top Chef Masters tonight Michael Schlow and 23 other well known chefs will compete to find out which chef is the best-of-the-best. Based on the hit series Top Chef, where unknown chefs compete to make a name for themselves, in this series these chefs have already made a name for themselves and they are competing to try to win $100,000 for their favorite charity.
Tonight, Michael Schlow will face Tim Love , Hubert Keller , and Christopher Lee to see who advances to the finals.

It’s an understatement to say that Michael Schlow has a passion for food. He began his culinary journey when he traded a baseball scholarship and a 92 mile-an-hour fastball for a set of Wusthof knives and a place at the Academy of Culinary Arts in New Jersey. In 2000, Schlow won the James Beard Award for “Best Chef in the Northeast” and his restaurant Radius in Boston was named “Best New Restaurant” by Food & Wine. His favorite chefs are Craig Shelton, Jean Louis Palladin, and Joel Robuchon. Schlow authored a cookbook in 2005 called It’s About Time, is a regular contributor to culinary publications and has appeared on numerous national cooking shows.
Top Chef Masters should be fun and entertaining for the raving foodie and for the everyday average viewer they should see a whole lot of good food and maybe get a few ideas. Even though I am sure each one of these chefs wants to win for their charity I am sure the bigger challenge is to win to be called the Top Chef Master. Michael Schlow is playing for the Cam Neely Foundation.
