Top Chef Judges Argue On-Location Filming Makes Show Emmy-Worthy

The long-running Bravo cooking competition is nominated for four Emmys this year, including best reality competition program, after last winning in 2010. Judges Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons contend the show's on-location production, involving building kitchens and moving a large crew, is more challenging than studio-based competitors. They also note that season 23 was particularly difficult to shoot, with one contestant leaving due to an injury.
