        <![CDATA[<p>The second season of Bravo&#8217;s <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef//index.shtml"><i>Top Chef</i></a> debuted on Wednesday, with a whole new raft of culinary wannabes vying for a place at the top of the food chain.</p>


	<p>CHOW correspondent Joyce Slaton talks to Tom Colicchio about the high- and lowlights from last season, including Dave&#8217;s bad behavior (&#8220;I&#8217;m not your bitch, bitch&#8221;) and drunken rowdiness at the reunion. And then she talks to the new season&#8217;s first casualty, Suyai Steinhauer, about the agony of escargots and the sting of defeat.</p>
