player ready...If the ending of “Top Chef: Texas” has you starved for Chicago chefs on TV, you’ll get your fix on a new cooking-centric Bravo show coming later this spring.
“Around the World in 80 Plates” is set to fill that 9 p.m. Wednesday void starting May 9. Curtis Stone and Cat Cora host this travel/cooking show that has been described as a combination of “Top Chef” and”Amazing Race.”
The cast of 12 features three Chicago-based chefs: The Drawing Room executive chef Nick Lacasse, Table Fifty-Two executive sous chef John Vermigilo and private chef Gary Walker.
