4.0 out of 5 stars Great Start to a Terrific Show, November 18, 2009
I started watching Top Chef in season 3, so it was fun to go back and watch seasons 1 and 2. It's enjoyable to see how Top Chef has developed since the first season. The first couple of episodes are a little slow, but the show definitely gets better as it goes along, and the final five or six chefs could stand up against the chefs from any of the other seasons. Although it has its moments, Season 1 is less focused on personality conflicts than Season 2. I'd recommend it to any Top Chef fan!

1.0 out of 5 stars Glad this wasn't the first season I watched..., October 21, 2009
I first started watching Top Chef at Season 2 and have LOVED the show all the way to it's current season 6. I had never seen the first season and always wanted to but couldn't find it on DVD anywhere so now FINALLY getting to purchase it as a Video On Demand I was EXTREMELY excited. Having said that, I was VERY, frankly, DISGUSTED with this lack of quality from ALL aspects! I understand it was the first ever Top Chef and that undeniably it would probably have some flaws like all new shows, but disgust really sums it up for me. The quality of chefs on this season as compared to the other five seasons is CLEARLY sub-par and amatuerish. With all the later seasons you get a feeling of high intensity and refinement, with this season...FAR from it. Episode 2, I think, gives you the best representation of the "quality" of the show. It was a joke. My wife and I were literally angry after just the first 2 episodes and will just forget that this season ever happened. Having said all that Top Chef is my absolute FAVORITE show. Just prentend that this season doesn't exsist and start with season 2.
