Lexus also is sponsoring the BravoNow iPad and iPhone application as well as "Rate the Plate," an interactive game on Bravotv.com, which gives fans the opportunity to rate the presentation of the dishes from each episode.

KitchenAid joins the "Top Chef Masters" team as the exclusive major and small appliance provider for "Top Chef Masters" Season 3. KitchenAid products will be featured via brand exposure across the series and will provide the winner of "Top Chef Masters" with the grand prize of $100,0000 that will be donated to the charity of their choice.

"Top Chef Masters" pits 12 world-renowned chefs against each other to see how well they fare in fierce culinary competition. Each week will whittle down the chefs until the finale where one winner is crowned "Top Chef Master" and receive the grand prize of $100,000 for the charity of their choice. With so much money at stake, the chefs are bringing more than their knives to the table; they're bringing their egos and stirring up the drama. The chefs must face off in some of the most difficult challenges to date - including the infamous restaurant wars - and they're serving up food for some master entertainers and celebrity guest judges including: Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, pop/rock group Maroon 5 and pop sensation Kelis, among others.
