Last week, metrocurean tipped us off that Top Chef is coming to our humble capital.  WASHINGTON, DC.  I can hardly contain myself!

It appears that the film crews will be heading to our fair city next week, and the contestants will follow around the beginning of April.

The hype is nowhere near that of the Real World DC last summer, though, so I don’t have many details yet.  We have no rumors of a home rehab for the cheftestants.  No photos of crews setting up a kitchen.  No leaks on which Whole Foods may be considered home base for the show.  This is quickly becoming a town of foodies, however, and I am fairly certain that the sightings will be flowing in soon.

Check back for more details as we get them!  And let me just say…Tom Colicchio is welcome to come to my house for a home-cooked meal any day.  You hear that, Tom?
