In honor of the Restaurant Wars epi scheduled to air tonite, I thought I'd share a little Top Chef news: First, there will be a Top Chef spinoff according to L.A. Eater, the same producers who brought you Top Chef will soon be serving "Top Chef: Masters," where the best of the best will be competing against each other for . . .even more money? gold? a lifetime supply of Calphalon appliances? I don't know. And who could be worthy of judging these Masters? Mmm.
Second (and this is a bit old), there will also be a Top Chef tourney for teens: "Top Chef Junior." According to Reuters, Chef Jean-Christophe Novelli will be opening a cooking school for teens in Los Angeles and the docu-series will be focusing mainly on the chef.
Last, but certainly not leasto, Top Chef Season 5 will be heading to the Big Easy for its season finale. It seems they had enough of the Big Apple and decided to kick it up a notch with Chef Emeril Lagasse as guest judge. According to Grub Street, "Season five will travel to New Orleans for the finale, where guest judge Emeril Lagasse will try to out-catchphrase Padma Lakshmi. Bravo’s PR machine tells us that there will be a “shocking twist” on part one of the finale on February 18, one that we hope will make the show interesting to watch again. Our unenthusiastic predictions:
- Stefan is actually from Delaware
- Everyone on Team Rainbow hated each other
- Hosea knocks up Leah"
In addition to this last bit, we were in touch with a certain Season 5 contestant from San Francisco last week when we received her out of office: "Thanks for your email. I'll respond when I get back." Hmm. . . I wonder where she could have been. Coincidence that we learned today of the finale's location? Perhaps not? Bon appetit!
