Chef Tom Colicchio's high profile has only heightened thanks to his association with Top Chef, yet how much do fans of the show really know about Colicchio and his rags-to-riches rise to culinary glory? Find out by exploring the untold truth of Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio. While serving as a judge over the course of more than a dozen seasons of Top Chef, Tom Colicchio has tasted a lot of food, and not all of it has been worth tasting. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Colicchio revealed what happened when something he sampled was so vile that he literally couldn't keep it in his mouth, saying: "There were only two dishes that I spit out [...] We were in the desert in Las Vegas, and it was about 110 degrees. We were served more-than-room-temperature raw fish. It was pretty gross." The other time he spat out a dish wasn't actually captured on camera. He said: "It was a clam, and it was kind of warm, as well, with lychee, and something about it just made that gag reflex go off." However, he insisted that the show's overall track record for amazing food has been pretty near impeccable.
