Top Chef: Just Desserts (10pm, Bravo) - This delicious "Top Chef" spinoff debuts after the D.C. finale. Check out our review.

Bravo hopes to keep America drooling long after tonight's finale of "Top Chef: Washington, DC," launching a new spinoff that will send viewers to bed with Willy Wonka dreams of chocolate ganache, caramel buttercream, and raspberry coulis.

"Top Chef: Just Desserts" has the exact same premise as the regular "Top Chef" -- a group of hopefuls compete in quickfire and elimination challenges, are judged by a panel of accomplished foodies, and one is eliminated each week until a winner remains.

The glaring difference, judging by the first episode (at least in comparison to the most recent season of "Top Chef"), is that this particular group of chefs seem to skew significantly more insecure and slightly more, um, psycho than their arrogant counterparts.

Tonight is part one of a two-part finale, and the four remaning chefs -- Angelo, Ed, Kelly, and Kevin -- square off in Singapore. If Angelo (right) keeps making love to his dishes, he will most likely win the whole thing.

Haughty Angelo started strong but Tiffany (right) is my favorite. I think it's Tiffany and Kevin (or Ed?) in the finale. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Tonight, baseball players Adam Dunn, Matt Capps, and John Lannan make appearances. The guest judge is chef Rick Moonen.

It's all going down in D.C. so is there any surprise we have a scandal?

You "Top Chef" fans know what I'm talking about. Check out Andrea Weigl's take on last night's Pea Puree-gate over at the Mouthful blog.

So Top Chef fans, do you think he stole that pea puree?

I'm talking about last night's episode of Bravo's competition cooking franchise.

Chef Ed, who I like because he's not arrogant like Angelo, made a pea puree for the elimination round while prepping back in the Hilton's kitchen. However, when they get to the off-site restaurant kitchen for the challenge, Ed's pea puree can't be found in any of the coolers. But Chef Alex is wandering around with a pot of pea puree. Bravo keeps things interesting by showing no footage of Alex making his pea puree. Alex's pea puree clinches him the victory in last night's elimination challenge, raising eyebrows all over the kitchen.  So what do you think? Did Alex steal the pea puree or was it just a coincidence?

For more fun, go on Twitter and follow the debate using the #peapuree hashtag.
