Is the trailer for the 11th season of Top Chef in New Orleans "a parade of cliches" as one author described it or a fun promotional piece for a reality show that positively promotes the city? Opinions are mixed. In an article recapping the first episode, Grub Street wrote, "This season, Top Chef goes to New Orleans! And from what we see in its premiere, generally makes the mistake that most of us outsiders do, which is to conflate the New Orleans experience strictly with what goes on in the French Quarter. Are you worried that you won’t immediately see beads or masks or be told to let the good times roll? Don’t worry, cher, you totally will. Reducing a diverse and vibrant city down to its most marketable elements is Big and Easy." http://www.grubstreet.com/2013/10/top-chef-season-11-episode-1-recap.html
