Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
According to the Defamer, Katie Lee Joel (pictured here with husband Billy Joel) will not be returning to host season 2 of Bravo's Top Chef. "According to a well-placed insider, Joel will 'not be returning' to the show. No reason for her departure was cited."
I think that fans of the show can guess as to at least some of the things that contributed to her departure. Sure, she was cute, but her delivery of each of her lines was mechanical, at best. The East End Girl may have had some respectable credentials, but all critics saw was her cocktail dresses, and Katie didn't give viewers many reasons to look beyond her appearance. With such a vibrant group of competitors, a more charasmatic host would have brought a little more to the table.
Since we're already looking forward to seeing the next group of aspiring top chefs compete, who do you want to see hosting it? Should it be a food personality? A chef?

I think they should bring in a guy, and I agree Ted from Queer Eye would be perfect, him or Kathy Griffin. Ha Ha

Guess its too much to ask for Chef Jamie (from the Naked Chef) or Chef Gordon Ramsey....or a kinder, gentler (and easy to look at) Rachael Ray.
