Ready for a ‘culinary boner’? Our favorite tv show starts up again tonight on Bravo at 10pm. Needless to say, we’re pretty psyched. We’ll be keeping with tradition from last season and preparing a home-cooked meal beforehand to enjoy while we watch the show…and what’s a Top Chef premiere without a recession special value wine. On tonight’s menu is Tabla tikka-marinated chicken breasts on the grill, caramelized broccoli with garlic, and one of Jill’s famous salads. As for the wine, we will be trying a value riesling, which we heard pairs nicely with spicy Indian food. We’ll let you know which one we try and how it is. For those of you without cable, you can watch with Colicchio himself, who will be hanging out and eating dinner in the lounge at his Craftsteak during the show’s airing. Craftsteak is extending their bar menu ’til 11, when it ends. We’ve been hearing some good things about the $15 and under bar menu, from the burger, with its layer of balsamic onions, to some of the best smoked chicken wings in town.
