Who Were Your Favorite Top Chef Judges?

It’s a tough call, we know. Week after week, month after month and season after season, you sit watching food be made, smelled, tasted without ever knowing how the actual flavors would wash over your own palate. Of course you have to rely on the judges’ opinions. But who do you really trust?
