Top Chef coming to Texas - including Austin!
http://www.bravotv.com/top-chef/seaso...
It’s a whole new ballgame for the competing chefs on Bravo’s Top Chef: Texas. For the first-time ever, season nine will boast a record 29 chefs -- almost double the amount of chefs in season’s past -- who will see if they have what it takes to become an official cheftestant and qualify to wear the Top Chef coat. Only 16 will go on to compete across the Lone Star State -- in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. In what will prove to be the most challenging season yet, some of the biggest names in food, music, and entertainment including Charlize Theron, Pee-wee Herman, Cat Cora, John Besh, Tim Love, Patti LaBelle will be featured this season on Top Chef: Texas. Returning to the Judges' Table is host Padma Lakshmi and head judge, chef Tom Colicchio, alongside judges Gail Simmons and new this season, famed chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse and critically-acclaimed chef Hugh Acheson.
So, when they come to Austin, I wonder if this is something that we can get in on, such as Restaurant Wars or the like?

They have already completed filming the season. Sorry to disappoint you.

Thanks for the info, and not really disappointed, because I still get to watch it. :)

Not only are they coming to Austin, but they've got two Austinites competing: Paul Qui from Uchiko / East Side King and Andrew Curren from 24 Diner.

Has anyone been to the Top Chef viewing parties at Uchiko on Wednesday nights?
