It seems like forever, but within only a month the fourth season of Top Chef will hit the airwaves. From what I am hearing the show will air the first week of March.
From Bravo:
Let the flames begin. The newest crop of 16 rising chefs from across the country take on the windy city of Chicago. Returning to the kitchen, cookbook author, actress and host Padma Lakshmi presides over the judge’s table alongside head judge Tom Colicchio, renowned culinary figure and chef/owner, Craft Restaurants, judge Gail Simmons, of Food & Wine Magazine and judge Ted Allen, food and wine ambassador for Robert Mondavi Private selection wines. In what will prove to be the most exciting season yet, some of the biggest and most respected chefs will guest star on “Top Chef: Chicago.”
The 16 “Top Chef: Chicago” cheftestants will be skewered down week by week as they compete to out-flavor, out-cook and out-do their competition. The winning chef will receive $100,000 in seed money to help open a restaurant, furnished by the makers of the Glad family of products, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, a showcase at the Annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, a gourmet dream vacation in the French Alps, and will earn the title of “Top Chef.”
I have been searching for any interesting news on the contestants…one fun scoop is that according to some insiders over at Bravo, there are no openly gay men firing the flames on the show this season. Ted Allen will, of course, hold the torch for many, but….hey…maybe that will be that will be the drama that unfolds in the upcoming season, a cheftestant comes out of the closet….eh, probably not.
