Top Chef - Season 7

The cheftestants for the Washington DC season have been announced. Bios are here (sorry, nothing easily quotable here).

Looks like Chicago won't be represented.

NIce trade up from Toby to Eric Ripert. I have a total man-crush on him. The way he handles the product on 'Avec Eric' is just, so ... precise

Still kinda bummed he hasn't been on TCM.
