Top Chef - Filming in DC

Top Chef is currently filming in DC for the next season, as of today!!  No huge developments in terms of specifics, but Tom Colicchio has confirmed via Twitter that he is in DC and filming has started. 

Rumors have been swirling as to which Whole Foods they'll be shopping at (P Street location seems to be the majority guess online), which chefs will be involved.  As far as guest judges, notable chefs that have restaurants in DC include: Eric Ripert, Jose Andres, Michel Richard, Wolfgang Puck, Charlie Palmer, Art Smith, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and probably so many more I'm forgetting, as well as Bryan, Carla, Mike, and Spike from previous seasons.  Fingers crossed for a sighting, or an invite to the Restaurant Wars!! (Hey, it's my blog, I can dream)...  Let the Top Chef Stalking begin!
