Get a taste of "Top Chef" in Madison on Aug. 27

That's right, "Top Chef" is coming to town - er - well, the state, anyway.

Bravo TV's "Top Chef: The Tour" will stop in Madison on Aug. 27. (a Wednesday) for four live interactive shows -- three for the fans and one for cable affiliate partners. Check with Bravo's Web site for more details as the date approaches (no doubt we'll post about it here, too).

A more detailed press release with the entire schedule is also posted on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch TV Blog.

No word yet which of the chefs from this season or seasons past will be present, but here's hoping Fatty McDooragerton won't make an appearance. Personally, my votes are for pretty-boy Sam from season 2 and either of the Dales (season 3 and 4).
