Top Chef Tour Comes to Chicago

The Top Chef Tour is in its 3rd incarnation; the promotional tour for Bravo's hit show is stopping at 21 different cities. Tomorrow and Friday, Top Chef's 18-wheeler semi will pull onto East Illinois (at N. Michigan Avenue) and bring with it enough gear to set up an impromptu restaurant-ish space with table seating and the personalities of two former Top Chef contestants. Season Six's Mike Isabella (remember that snickery giggle of his?) and Kevin Gillespie (whose beard has a facebook fan page) will be the featured chefs.

You'll be able to meet Mike and Kevin, sample some food, get some cooking tips and, naturally, hear some of the inside scoop on what happens behind the scenes of Top Chef (we were impressed with Bourdain's take on that).
