Mark your calendars: television chef Curtis Stone is coming to Southern Season on Nov. 15.

Stone, who is selling a new line of cookware, will be in the Chapel Hill store for a cooking demonstration at 11 a.m. Stone is the host of Bravo's "Top Chef Masters," and co-host of "Around the World in 80 Plates."

The event is free. The store is located at 201 S. Estes Dr. at University Mall.

I'm starting to feel like 'Top Chef Masters' and 'Top Chef All-Stars' have ruined regular 'Top Chef' shows for me. Luckily, Bravo isn't making me wait for my next fix. With the excellent 'All-Stars' finale only a week ago, the network is already serving up a new installment of 'Masters' tonight (11pm).

This incarnation has Chef Curtis Stone hosting (an improvement) and adds esteemed food critic Ruth Reichl as a judge. Food critic James Oseland returns for his third season judging.

In tonight's premiere, some of the nation's fanciest culinary geniuses are first tasked with making compelling dishes with ingredients like canned corned beef and marshmallows. It's a wake-up call for the participants when nearly half the teams can't finish the first quickfire challenge. And it's a testament to the size of egos we're dealing with (love it!) when one of the forfeiting chefs (Naomi Pomeroy, Beast, Portland, Or) says, "I've watched 'Top Chef Masters' but I absolutely did not expect it to be this hard."

Trump whittled the five remaining Apprentice contestants to four right off the bat tonight, and by the end of the show we were down to two. Who's still in it, out of Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne, Curtis Stone, Holly Robinson Peete, and Maria the wrestler (whose full name I still don't know, even after watching this show all season)?
