UPDATE: Chris Cosentino Responds To Our Post About His Anti-TV Stance
When an interview Zagat conducted with Chris Cosentino went online yesterday, we wondered aloud whether his participation on Top Chef Masters contradicted the firm anti-TV stance he held in the interview.

We’ll give you that, Chris. The Michael J Fox Foundation does good work in promoting awareness of Parkinson’s Disease and funding research for a cure. At the same time, would he have done a far more humiliating show on a certain food-related channel if it were also for charity? In any case, now we feel like Larry David in this all-too-appropriate clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm:

Chris did a pilot for a show called Chef Unleashed but it was never picked up by any networks. Too bad. It was brilliant TV. I wish Food Network or someone else would pick it up. It’s what food TV should be. Here’s a link to Chris’ vimeo site: http://vimeo.com/25542150
