Top Chef: Magical Mystery Tour

Alllll aBOARD!

Top Chef is literally packing its knives and going next month when it kicks off a coast-to-coast tour that will include 21 stops, meet-and-greets with different TC talent in each market, sample food tastings, gourmet cooking tips, show secrets (so really, who DID burn Lisa's rice?) and cheftestant autographs (because who doesn't want Howie's John Hancock scribbled across their left breast). Here's the skinny from Bravo's PR team:
"Today, Bravo announced the official third annual kick-off for its highly anticipated and widely successful "Top Chef: The Tour," a 21-city tour, that for the first time ever expands to the Pacific Northwest with stops in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon ... The annual tour brings the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning, No. 1 food show on cable, "Top Chef," to fans and foodies nationwide, beginning Wednesday, April 14th, with its first stop at Soulard Farmers Market in St. Louis, Missouri. This year's tour will feature an updated, restaurant-style format with table seating for 64 guests, bringing fans a fuller, more enjoyable culinary experience as they interact with their favorite chef'testants."
