Bravo makes cheftestapants sign some hardcore nondisclosure contracts that include potential one million dollar lawsuits if they leak information. Washington City Paper talks to locals like Carla Hall, Bryan Voltaggio, Spike Mendelsohn, and Mike Isabella, who says: "They take everything away from you: your whole identity, your wallet, your license, your phone. No books, no newspapers, no TV, no music, no nothing." Even after cheftestapants lose they're locked down in a "holding house" — "If you go out, they go with you." [WCP via Eater DC]
