NEW YORK – February 26, 2013 – Bravo Media will have you fall back and spring ahead as the network moves into March with compelling finales, dramatic reunions and premieres of new and returning docu-series. The excitement begins when it’s woman against woman on part-two of the “Top Chef” finale on Wednesday, February 27 at 10pm ET/PT. After Kristen’s comeback from winning Bravotv.com’s transmedia competition series “Last Chance Kitchen,” each finalist will cook the best five dishes in their culinary arsenal live in front of a studio audience that includes their friends, families and all previous nine “Top Chef” winners. For the first time in franchise history, it’ll be the battle of the females to determine who will be crowned Top Chef… Will it be Kristen or Brooke? Hugh Acheson, Emeril Lagasse and Gail Simmons join head judge Tom Colicchio and host Padma Lakshmi.
