the show's run was parallel to the apex of the board. great stuff.

I was actually looking for an old Top Chef thread to up and talk about:

- the Voltaggio brothers growing a restaurant empire, then having nearly all of them close

- Mike Isabella opening 462 restaurants before it was confirmed he was the same creep he portrayed himself on national television as

- Kevin Sbraga opening a bunch of restaurants in Philly, then going bankrupt (seeing a theme here)

- Paul Qui getting coked out, being arrested for domestic violence, and losing nearly all of his restaurants
