Here's a preview clip from the first challenge of Top Chef: New Orleans. The preview finds host Padma Lakshmi with judges Tom Colicchio, Emeril Lagasse, and Top Chef Masters host Curtis Stone on a swamp boat. The cheftestapants have eight minutes left to finish cooking in the sticky heat, and Stephanie Cmar (No.9 Park, Boston) thinks Jason Cichonski (Ela Restaurant, Philadelphia) is "cocky." Is this the feud of the season? Top Chef: New Orleans premieres October 2. [EW]
