Top Chef, the ground breaking culinary reality show that made Tom Collichio a bonafide star and the phrase “Thrown under a bus” my most hated cliché since douche bag, is winding down its sixth season on Bravo. Last summer we saw the terrific spin-off Top Chef Masters and now they are creating Top Chef: Just Desserts. Do you think you’ve got what it takes to be on the Sweet Sibling, or the flagship? They’re holding an open casting call in DC on Wednesday, 10am – 2pm at the Occidental Grill.
I won’t be there but I am certain that hundreds will – maybe I will post just to watch what happens, but I doubt it. I am not the kind of chef who would do well in that environment (though I am pretty damn positive that I could cook Robin under the table with provisions from a 7-11 and a bunsen burner.) Good luck to anyone who does audition.

p.s. special thanks to the little birdie who gave me the heads-up about this.
i absolutely can not cook under pressure. i can’t even have others around me chatting while i cook. i’ll add something twice, over cook it, or forget it all together. you can sit and watch, have a glass of wine. i’ll look up, smile and wink at you every few minutes. but shussh.
8 points for saying “bunsen burner”.
