Top Chef: Chicago - rising stars set to get cooking.
Knives and spices at the ready, season four of ‘Top Chef’ is to begin and my inner foodie says yum! This season was filmed in the Windy city late in 2007.
Returning for another season are Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons and Ted Allen along with a few guest judges along the way.
“This season the chefs bring a diverse wealth of talent and skill to the table that we’ve not seen before,” said Colicchio. “The title ‘Top Chef’ has proven to be an amazing opportunity for these chefs to make a name for themselves in the competitive culinary world.” bravotv.com
