Poll question: What city should Top Chef Season SIX take place in? |
|
So far they've been in San Fran, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and NYC. Where should they go next? perhaps a European city? A full season in New Orleans?

I was looking around for it and only managed to find notices for the casting call.

12. apparently it's still a rumor |
|
I only saw it mentioned on one website and as a rumor. A hotel off the strip wants the attention of tourists so is trying to get Top Chef to film there.

4. I voted New Orleans, but now I'm not sure. |
|
One problem with New Orleans is that the cuisine overshadows the cook. Seattle, Austin, Miami, wherever, all have a wide variety of cuisines and fusions, even if they have one or two predominant styles. New Orleans has a lot of lesser cuisines, but the primary one is so dominant that it would be hard to get away from it. Plus, some outsiders do it poorly. Way too much spice, not enough flavor, sometimes.
Austin is an interesting mix. Vegetarian to BBQ, a wide variety of oriental cuisines, Mexican and Tex-Mex and European fusions--but no one real style. It would give a lot of room to experiment. That's probably true of Seattle, too. I live in Austin, but I don't think of it as a great chef capital. There's a lot of creativity, but not a lot of genuine greatness. Kind of like the music scene here.
Then again, I've never seen Top Chef, so I don't know how much the local scene actually affects the competition, so my opinion is useless here. Doesn't stop me from giving it. I'm narcissistic like that.

8. Emeril Lagasse is an "outsider" |
|
the name may be French, but he not Cajun. He's from Fall River, Mass., presumably of French Canadian extraction.

Honolulu for season 7. Mahalo (thank you) for thinking of us. And there'd be two ways to go with that: Pacific Rim cuisine as exemplified by Roy Yamaguchi, Alan Wong, etc., and island-style "comfort food" featuring some things you wouldn't expect to find this far afield, like hamburger steak, beef stew, chili, and yes, Spam.
