Not Lost, but Lost-related

So how exactly are we supposed to fill the time between seasons? You could always read Doc Jensen's overly thought-out theories at Entertainment Weekly, but that's only a few hours a week.

Fortunately, there are a few outlets...just need to know where to find them.

Hot on the heels of Ace of Cakes' episode where they made a cake for Lost's 100th episode, Bravo's Top Chef Masters did a Lost-themed challenge on Wednesday night's episode.

The four chefs had to create that would be appropriate to be served on The Island, using meats that would be found on a tropical island (fish, seafood, boar) and canned and preserved ingredients off a Dharma-approved list. The guest judges were Team Darlton and the entire writing staff of Lost. Niiice.

I won't spoil the results, but unlike the regular Top Chef, these are really good, award-winning chefs competing for charity. Bravo replays their episode all the time, so just search for it on your DVR. I think it was called "The Lost Supper" (heh heh).

The other option, though not as entertaining, is this collection of Lost-themed videos that are on YouTube right now. They answer the age-old question, "What if Lost were a 1990s sitcom?"

One warning: The Friends one is not very good at all. The rest of them are pretty well-done, particularly if you were obsessed with ABC's Friday night lineup back then. Look for lots of footage of Charlie and Hurley, particularly the golf course episode.
