Bravo Announces Seventh Season of Top Chef, Casting Calls

The sixth season of Top Chef is just underway, but the Bravo Gods have just announced that they've green-lit a seventh season of the Emmy nominated cooking show. Oh, but that's not at all: casting calls are very, very imminent (as in this month; see post-jump for more specifics) and taking place across the country, meaning that there's a very real possibility that filming for the Season Seven could possibly take place while Padma is in full-on miracle pregnant mode (!).

But where oh where will the next season take place? So far, the Bravo Gods have landed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, New York and Las Vegas. For what it's worth, the casting calls are taking place in all the aforementioned cities (sans Vegas), plus Washington DC and Dallas. Curious. In any event, let's hear those rumors and speculations down the comments, please. And as always, the tipline is very much open.
