The Obligatory Top Chef Reunion Post
Editor’s Note: Frank and I are big fans of Top Chef and try to watch the new episodes together when we can. Frank didn’t want our first Top Chef post to be about the reunion show, so I’m (briefly) addressing tonight’s episode on my own.
The most recent season of Top Chef just ended last week, but Bravo is airing a reunion tonight. Now, I recognize that it’s taped in advance, so maybe the cast is ready to reunite. I understand, more importantly, why Bravo might not be ready to let go of the Top Chef audience that doesn’t care for most of its other programming, Frank and I included. Not enough time has passed, however, for me to miss the characters and I have no interest in actually watching a reunion episode. I want to know if Leah and Hosea are dating, but I’m sure I can read about that tomorrow morning.
I’m much more interested in speculating about where next season will take place. I’m pulling for D.C., St. Louis or Denver–where I live, where I’m from and where Frank is from, respectively. Where do you think the next season will take place? Where do you hope to see it? Post a comment below if you’re a Top Chef fan, too.
Update: In other news, Fabio is hawking frozen pizzas.

The only reason to tune in is to find out who the fan favorite is. I’m guessing Carla. I’m very bitter about this season because I thought Hosea was the weakest of the final 3 and, unlike other shows, I’ve always thought Top Chef had real integrity.
Anyway, next season is in Vegas… here’s to hoping it brings a better winner than Hosea (who is the worst winner since Ilan).

Yeah, I’d guess Carla is the fan favorite, too. I was torn about Hosea, but in the end, I’m excited he won just because Frank is from Colorado, so I can check out the restaurant where he works next time I’m out that way. Assuming he still works there, of course… Maybe he’ll start his own restaurant in Colorado? That would be equally cool. I really wanted Carla to win though because I wanted her to open a D.C. restaurant!
And PS: How did I miss the announcement about the next Top Chef? Not in one of my top 3 locales, but Vegas is still fun and all the best chefs/restaurant owners open places there!
