Top Chef going on the road

by Kristin Sample, posted Jun 16th 2008 4:26PM
Tom Colichio American Idol does it. So You Think You Can Dance does it. Dancing with the Stars does it. And now, Top Chef will hit the road on a nationwide tour. Top Chef? Really? It's true. Beginning June 21st, the popular Bravo show will embark on a twenty-city tour. The tour will begin on Long Island at the Whole Foods market in Jericho. Top Chef on wheels will feature a customized 18-wheeler semi-truck and "will offer Bravo's passionate fans and cable affiliate partners with the unique opportunity to experience the hit series in their hometowns."

Here's how it will work. In each city, select "chef-testants" from the hit show will do cooking demonstrations, give out gourmet tips, share show secrets and offer food tastings all from the monster truck which includes a state-of-the-art kitchen and can accommodate 38 guests per seating. Every one else can watch from HD screens.

Tour dates are after the jump. Top Chef might be pulling up to a farmers market or food festival near you. What do you think? Does this sound like something you'd go to?

Sheesh, no TX. WTF!

How is that Des Moines makes it on the list, but not Austin or Dallas or even freaking Houston?!

Most of the other cities make sense...I am shocked not to see Seattle.

We may love BBQ here, but we definitely enjoy some good food too.

Nothing for Portland or Seattle? Tsk, tsk Bravo. Here's to hoping there's an update with more dates and more love for the Northwest

This is something I would totally go to, but alas not a single Texas tour stop.

I'm close enough to Jericho that I might swing by on Saturday just to give a look-see, but that's probably it.
