Before taping the first episode of "Top Chef Masters," Michael Schlow did some prep work, watching a compilation of quick-fire challenges from "Top Chef." Boy, was that ever a mistake. "It's nerve-racking enough watching once a week," Schlow said yesterday. "Watching 25 in a night...I had a panic attack. It was gut-wrenching." The celebrated owner/chef of Via Matta and Radius is one of 24 culinary kings and queens competing on the "Top Chef" spinoff, which debuts on Bravo June 10. (The gaggle of gourmands includes Christopher Lee, Cindy Pawlcyn, Douglas Rodriguez, Rick Bayless, and Hubert Keller.) During a conference call yesterday with a few of his fellow foodies, Schlow said he was flattered to be asked on the show. "It's an honor," said Schlow, who's competing for the Cam Neely Foundation. "We get to showcase our talents and do it in a fun setting with friends."

So chef schlow is this why BU just closed Great Bay Restaurant?? Cause you have been absent from your contracted agreement with Boston University!
Ya dont worry about the 40 employees that are loosing there jobs because you didnt do yours chef schlow!
It's too bad you're blaming Schlow for the problems that Great Bay had from the start. His job isn't to be in the kitchen at Great Bay every day, that's the Chef de Cuisine's job. Great Bay's food is great, always has been, but that location sucks. The new decor is great but that placed looked like a sterile cave up until it was redone. So perhaps you also would like to blame Christopher Meyers, who is responsible for the decor? Get your facts straight and take your anger out on someone else. I'm assuming you work there and are losing your job, so why aren't you partially responsible? Were you not working hard enough?
