Harold Dieterle Confesses What He ‘Loathed’ About Top Chef

Season one winner Harold Dieterle may not have “any regrets” about doing Top Chef, but that doesn’t mean he enjoyed the experience.
In an interview with Serious Eats New York, Dieterle reveals:
It’s sold to you as a cooking competition but you’re spending maybe an hour a day cooking and twelve hours a day on camera with them prodding you with booze. So it was not so much cooking and a lot of reality, and that’s the part that I loathed. I just didn’t want to play that game.
Which means that during the “downtime”, he’d curl up on his backpack and go to sleep. Note to future cheftestants: this might be a good tack to take.
