'Top Chef" taps Chicago talent
OK, "Top Chef" fans -- start sharpening your knives. BravoTV announced the new season (filmed in Chicago) will debut March 12. Confirming long-standing rumors, 31-year-old Stephanie Izard (above), the chef-owner of Bucktown's recently closed Scylla (now the home of Takashi Restaurant), will be a contestant. She will be joined by two other chefs with Chicago connections, Valerie Bolon, 32, a Kendall College grad, and Dale Talde, 29, (another Dale!), who worked with Shawn McClain and Carrie Nahabedian before moving to New York to work at buzz-spot Buddakan. For info, check out the NBC Universal Web site.
DID YOU DINE AT SCYLLA? DO YOU THINK IZARD HAS A SHOT?
