“Back in our July 28th e-mail, we told you that: “Top Chef Season 5 is now filming in New York City. You do not want to miss this season! Why? I can’t tell you yet. But, I recommend, highly, following the blogs about the filming this season. It could be turn out to be very interesting.”

Well now, two months later, filming is basically finished, and word is leaking out. There are sixteen cheftestants on Top Chef this season. One of the best food blogs, Eater.com, has received intel on eight of them.

Among this eight, is one of our favorite chefs, from right here in Baltimore.
