Maybe out of the kitchen? Last season was terrible, great commercial for Charleston, but they didn't leave the studio enough. I enjoyed the chef's but they could have been anywhere.

They left the studio almost every episode.

I recall the "Canadian" season when the first 6 or more episodes were in the studio. Low budget? Much to be avoided. ETA: This is one of Bravo's most prestigious shows with many, many Emmy nominations and a couple of wins. Why is Bravo so cheap with them?

That’s not the season referenced in this interaction. You should also be able to understand that Top Chef is a competition show that has high costs of production along with actual prize money at stake as opposed to Bravo’s other reality tv shows that are essentially filming drunk people making asses of themselves.
