Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth of Top Chef production company Magical Elves tried to get the Obamas to be on an episode this season, but were turned down; White House chef Cristeta Comerford and some "pretty well-known politicians" will appear in their stead, however. Cutforth also mentions he would be surprised if Bravo did Top Chef, Jr. at this point and that Top Chef Just Desserts is "an awesome show." In: dessert. Out: precocious teenagers. [HR]
