Will Eve Aronoff survive round 2 on "Top Chef" tonight?

By Bob Needham

Eve Aronoff of eve restaurant in Ann Arbor made it through the first round of Bravo's cooking competition "Top Chef: Las Vegas." But it was a bit of a close call, with judges ranking her dish the bottom on her team of four competitors.

So 16 chefs remain as the second episode premieres at 10 tonight on Bravo. This week, it's a battle of the sexes as the women compete against the men to cater a poolside bachelor-bachelorette party. Guest judge is restaurateur and James Beard award-winning chef Todd English.

Will our hometown heroine make another cut?

Dunno...I'm a "Hell's Kitchen" gal myself. As far as Ms. A. not watching "Top Chef" before the competition...well, we're into season 6 of HK and STILL getting chefs who don't know how to make a risotto or sear a scallop, so...(shrugs).

I felt so bad for Eve. How embarassing. She said that she never watched "Top Chef" before the competition. May be that would have helped.
