Between the soon-to-be-released board game, a second cookbook, a wine label, specialty knife sets, finales, premiers and spinoffs, what far reaches of the culinary world hasn’t the ‘Top Chef’ empire infiltrated?

One thing is for sure: It’s not your living room. On Wednesday, ‘Top Chef’ will take over the airwaves for two hours with back-to-back series: the premier of ‘Top Chef Season 6’ and the season finale of ‘Top Chef Masters.’

At 9 p.m., ‘Top Chef Season 6’ contestants take the stage in Las Vegas. Michael Voltaggio (formerly of the Bazaar and now at the Dining Room at the Langham) and his brother Bryan might deliver some drama in the form of sibling rivalry, making up for the lack of chef-vs.-chef tension in the ‘Masters’ series.

At 10 p.m., Rick Bayless, Michael Chiarello and Hubert Keller will compete for the grand prize of a $100,000 donation to their charity of choice. The debut season of ‘Masters’ garnered high ratings, despite the buddy-buddy nature of the seasoned chefs.

Next thing you know they’ll be launching a children’s line. Oh, wait. There’s ‘Top Chef Juniors,’ rumored to air later this year ...
