Do not fuck with Bravo or they'll sic judges on you. Because Top Chef was probably/maybe/definitely shooting in Seattle, Seattle Weekly's famously unanonymous critic Hanna Raskin talked to and ran quotes from a Bravo spokesperson. That did not go well. Writes Raskin: "After my last post, [PR rep Tory] Brody vowed Top Chef would never 'work with' the Weekly again (read: take my calls), because... real reporters know instinctively to never publish a spokesperson's name. When she failed to scare me or my editor into removing her name... she had a Top Chef judge ring me up to plead her case." [Seattle Weekly]
