In just a few short weeks, Top Chef Chicago will hit the airwaves and we're counting down the days to the March 12 season premiere. In addition to placing the city's restaurant scene at the forefront of the series and the backdrop for the competition, there are three chefs with local ties competing for the title of "Top Chef."
Stephanie Izard is best known in local restaurant circles as the former owner/chef at Scylla (the space that now houses Takashi), which she closed in August in order to travel abroad and further study the art of cooking. Enjoy as she explains why she wants to be the next "Top Chef."

It kind of bothers me to see her on this show. I don't know, I always felt like the original intent was to give up-and-coming chefs a chance, and she's already run a successful restaurant. it just kind of seems like cheating.
Dale Levitski wasn't exactly a rookie...
I believe many of the contestants currently work as executive chefs -- Izard's additional cred as "owner" doesn't give her any sort of advantage in my opinion.
most if not all of the cheftestants on TC come from top positions
TC is more about taking them to the "next level" This is not American Idol, then again AI is not exactly for amateurs either...
