About Bravo's Top Chef Masters Season 4:

"Top Chef Masters" pits 12 world-renowned chefs against each other to see how well they fare in a fierce culinary competition. Based at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, each week will whittle down the chefs until the finale where one winner is crowned "Top Chef Master" and receives the grand prize of $100,000 for the charity of their choice. The chefs are bringing more than their knives to the table; they're bringing their egos and stirring up the drama...all for charity.
