Top Chef DC

Not sure if you know by now, but last month, it was confirmed that the next top chef would be in DC. Well they started filming now. I think this is pretty cool and it would be better if I got to sneak into one of their "restaurant wars" episodes. Especially if I got to eat good food and meet Padma and Gail Simmons. Well I'll leave Padma to Web and his Indian Girl Fetish.

From Wiki:

The show will bring 17 contestants, similar to prior seasons, but this time one of the contestants will be a Top Chef "veteran", who participated in one of the prior editions (and didn't win). It has been also reported that classic episodes such as Restaurant Wars and Wedding Wars will return. The Finale is planned to happen in Montreal, Canada. It will bring five chefs and will be comprised of three episodes (instead of two).

DC is an up and coming restaurant city but has plenty of catching up compared to NY and SF. But the fact that Top Chef is in DC gives us a promising future for more awesome restaurants.

Well if you want to stalk where they are, here's a google map of where they're staying and where they have been to so far. (Been there's everywhere!)

Also some other DC restaurant links to waste some more time.
