Hey Top Chef fans: Season Four is poised to start filming here in Chicago, per technical coordinator (and former almost-Top-Chef) Lee Anne Wong and the Stew. Though judging from the report of this eagle-eyed LTHer, who spotted former contestants Marcel, Sandi, Josie, and Tiffani waiting for a table at Frontera Grill last week in full TV makeup, the cameras appear to be rolling. In this instance, however, it sounds like the chefs were just trying to get lunch, not judge some huitlacoche challenge.
No word on the Bravo site yet as to when Top Chef 4 will air. It'll be great if they can truly mine the culinary range of the city (south-side v. west-side BBQ challenge!) but I fear a stuffed pizza Elimination and a make-your-own Chicago dog Quickfire. Maybe, if we're lucky, they'll set the cheftestants loose in the kitchen of Moto with the laser?
What Chicago-inspired challenges do you think would do us proud?
2)Some kind of pizza challenge, hot dog and braut....
3)They'll have Achatz, Moto, maybe the Schwa guys, Graham Elliot Bowles of course the chef of all chefs Charlie Trotter..and u have to believe Lettuce Entertainment Restaurants will be included...so maybe a hand at making at station at the Mighty Nice in Water Tower..
4)They'll have some kind of steak challenge....
5)Will probably do their shopping at Dominick's...
6)Maybe a challenge at Fox and Obel...
7)China town and Devon Avenue Indian restaurants
8)Definitely a Green market Challenge....
They will have Ditka as a guest judge for sure...
