L-R: Chef Guarnaschelli, Chef Falkner, Chef Burrell.
One of my favorite things on television right now is the camaraderie between Chef Alex Guarnaschelli, Chef Elizabeth Falkner, and Chef Anne Burrell on this season of Next Iron Chef. I routinely despair at the lack of pop culture with stories about strong, talented, individual women who complement each other and aren't in competition for (male) attention—but here it is, on a reality food show, where the women are in actual competition and yet are clearly friends and colleagues with an enormous amount of respect for one another.
I love all of these women, and their individual styles. Their food always looks amazing, although sometimes I hardly notice, because I am so busy enjoying the opportunity to watch a group of women I admire, and lamenting the damnable rarity of such an event.
