http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/ We the undersigned believe that Ted Allen, - food and wine specialist on the Emmy Award winning NBC/Bravo hit "Queer, Eye” - author of several wonderful books - spokesman for Robert Mondavi Private Selection wines - contributing editor to Esquire magazine should be named Bravo’s Top Chef Season 3 mentor. Ted Allen is not only a specialist in this field, he is articulate, intellectual, and would be both amusing and helpful.

I think his presence in the kitchen would lend itself to a little less snark and a little more class. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3151612 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Ted is so great!!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3092894 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The sense of humor and innate grace and style of Ted Allen would make season 3 watchable http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3079826 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We Need Ted http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3079083 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It would certainly redeem the show! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3065402 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Ted Allen gives great, constructive critique in a professional way. I will definitely watch Season 3 of "Top Chef" if he is involved. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3059217 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I believe that after the "group think" situation that Betty, Ilan and Sam pulled the entire group into. This show definitely needs a Mentor to help the contestants stay on track about the food. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3055211 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST While I am unsure the pace of cooking lends itself well to a Tim Gunn presence, Ted Allen's inclusion in some capacity has always enhanced the show in the past. He would be a great asset as a permanent presence. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3042048 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3040106 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST We could use a little class next season, after screeching Betty, stalker Ilan, and the Clipper Clique. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3035279 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST If Ted were willing, his personality and demeanor would bring back the public respect of the show that was somewhat lost as a result of TC2. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3031880 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The show's already great; Ted would make it FAB! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3031795 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Yes, please! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3026770 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I know Bravo's against having a mentor, but Ted would elevate this show back to where it needs to be. He's the only one who could get me to watch S3 at this point. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3022784 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Fair, decent, kind, perfect! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3017431 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST The show would be better if they had a mentor figure who could challenge them, offer advice, and expect professional kitchen behavior. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3017329 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Yes, he would make the perfect mentor! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3008664 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST AMEN - Fair, and succinct and honest http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3006120 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I'm always interested to hear Ted's opinion of the food that the chefs cook. He should be on every episode of Top Chef! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/tcmentor/#sig3004496 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I think Ted should replace Padma.
