I'm a big fan of Bravo's Top Chef.  It has everything you could want in a reality competition show:  exciting challenges, tense eliminations, and a contender with a faux-hawk (this season, anyway).  On tonight's new episode the final four competitors head to Puerto Rico to continue to chase their culinary dreams, while we just sit and watch.

For those of us on the couch not lucky (or talented) enough to make it on the TV show, Trump International Hotel & Tower New York offers an exclusive experience sure to satisfy the cooking desires within.  The Jean-Georges Culinary Master Course at the luxury hotel is a private two-hour cooking demonstration by world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and is part of a package that includes three nights in an executive suite and a three-course dinner at Jean-Georges restaurant.  You'll even get a signed copy of the chef's book, Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges.  After witnessing a master in action and being outfitted with his recipes, your kitchen is sure to become the domain of a top chef.
