Top Chef Masters (Bravo)
common sense media says
Famous chefs compete for charity in milder spin-off.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this Top Chef spin-off is significantly milder than its parent series -- perhaps because the competitors are already famous and are vying to contribute to their charity of choice rather than a lucrative personal prize. That said, the chefs do occasionally lose their cool, and there's some strong language (the iffiest words are bleeped) and plenty of brand/product placement. Also, alcohol is frequently used as an ingredient, served with dinner, and enjoyed by relaxing or celebrating chefs.
Positive role models:
The chefs like to boast about their talents, but ultimately they are working hard to raise money for charity.
Violence:
Some chefs lose their cool under pressure and argue with or yell at sous chefs.
Sex:
Some very mild sexual innuendo, including a reference to a shower scene after one chef steams pasta in a bathroom.
Language:
Words like "hell" and "damn" are audible, while words like "s--t" and "f--k" are "bleeped".
Consumerism:
Brands like Glad, Lexis, and other sponsors are prominently featured in each episode. Each chef owns a restaurant; their eateries are often talked about, and restaurant names are featured on their uniforms.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Wine and hard liquor are sometimes used as ingredients in dishes. Wine is usually served with dinner. One chef wants to have a shot of tequila to calm his nerves down. Wine and champagne are often waiting for the chefs after they stand before the judge’s table.
