Chef Josie


Former New York Sharks defensive linesman Josie Smith-Malave made an appearance on Season 5's Top Chef tonight on the Bravo channel.  She had competed in season 2 and was cut half-way through the season.  In tonight's episode they pitted chefs from season 5 against all-star chefs from previous seaons in the first Top Chef Bowl.

The show had a football theme and Josie was pitted against Jeffrey McInnis.  They had 20 minutes to create a dish that reflected the cuisine from the region of an NFL team.  Her region was Miami.  Spoiler alert below.

Sorry that we didn't announce this earlier as we did not know beforehand.  It is always kind of shocking when you see a Sharks player on the screen and you do a double-take.

Spoiler alert: Josie came through with a shutout victory scoring 10 points for her team though it wasn't enough as the Season 5 chefs outscored the Top Chef All-Stars.
