NEW YORK March 13, 2008 Bravo's Emmy-nominated culinary creative competition series "Top Chef" fired up the competition last night by premiering once again as the No. 1 rated food show on cable across all demographics, according to Nielsen Media Research. With significant growth from its last cycle, the season premiere attracted 1,475,000 adults 18-49 and 2,256,000 total viewers.

Season to season, "Top Chef" premieres have grown, continuing Bravo's hallmark of increasing viewership with each original franchise cycle.

I have researched sriracha and ras al hanout, so it's time for everyone reading this thread to know what they are too.

Sriracha is a generic name for Thai hot sauce. It is composed of hot peppers, garlic paste, vinegar, salt and sugar. It comes out a bright red and is found in small bottles all over the Southeast and to a lesser extent in California and rest of the United States. I am going to try some soon, as I love hot sauce.

Ras al hanout is a mix of typically over a dozen herbs and spices including cardamom, mace (spice), nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground chili peppers. Some recipes include over one hundred ingredients, some quite unusual, such as ash berries, chufa, Grains of Paradise, orris root, Monk's pepper, cubebs, dried rosebud, and the potentially toxic belladonna and insects. Ras al hanout is believed to be an aphrodisiac. No doubt this is why Richard used it, trying to curry favor with the judges.
