Competitions such as "Chopped" or "Top Chef" can get our adrenalin pump- ing, making us stand up and cheer when our favorite con- testants pull off a stunning dish or sit seething with an- ger when the show's villain (there's always a villain, isn't there?) says or does some- thing especially nasty. The more straight-up cook- ing shows can make us feel like we're back in school — in a good way! — as they teach us delicious new recipes and advanced techniques to make our dinner parties and family meals extra special. Really, though, there aren't a lot of food-related shows out there that really get in- side our brains and make us think. That's what makes PBS's "The Mind of a Chef" such a treat. The rest are all wonderful in their own myri- ad of ways, but "The Mind of a Chef" is something special indeed. The third season of the James Beard Award-winning series premieres Saturday, Sept. 6 (check your local PBS station's listings), and if it lives up to the precedent set by the first two outings, it's bound to be a real pleasure to watch. Executive produced and narrated by well-known chef Anthony Bourdain ("Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations"), "The Mind of a Chef" does exactly what its title sug- gests: it cracks open the brain of some of the world's most renowned chefs and tries to figure out just what it is that makes them tick. For this sea- son, two of the world's most creative culinary masters, Ed- ward Lee and Magnus Nils- son, will be the subjects of our curiosity. Of course, there's no actual lobotomies being performed here. No, instead we get the privilege of tagging along with the specimens as they walk us through what moti- vates them — their pasts, their interests, their inspira- tions — a bit of everything, really. It's this realness, I think, that makes "The Mind of a Chef" so great.
