My dad and I share the bond of one reality TV show... Top Chef. He's in Minnesota and while we both try to watch the show when we can, one of us usually ends up missing it. The next day, one of us will call to chat up the latest show and latest chef cut, but the conversation stops short, when the other reveals the haven't seen it. So, while we either wait for the other to catch the re-run or wait until next week's show. After another week of missing the show, I found the Top Chef home page online an started browsing. On it you can recap past episodes, read judges and chefs blog, view recipes, and rate plates. Neither my father nor I are especially gifted in the kitchen, but we do enjoy rating and commenting on the food selections of Top Chef judges. The handy-schmandy "Rate the Plate" section gave us both the opportunity to not only critique the show over the phone, but online as well. You can also play games, and get mobile feeds. Not only has it given us more to discuss, but neither of us have to watch the show to know whats going on. We can learn about the chefs, see pictures and read the judges feedback all form our computers. Its just another example of the long-tailed system working for consumers.
