Top Chef All-Stars Drinking Game

One of the great things about Top Chef All-Stars is that you can be sure events from past seasons will be referenced and that certain behaviors will happen over and over again. But to make that more fun, I decided to make a drinking game out of all of it!

Of course, I must insert a disclaimer that I in no way endorse drinking to the point of excess or underage drinking or yada yada yada. Drink responsibly. If you don't drink, use water, soda, or whatever you've got around. And of course, 1 drink is subjective. It can be a swig, a sip, or a drop. Whatever you want.

If you've got suggestions, put them in the comments below, and I'll update the post regularly.
