'Top Chef: The Tour' Stops at Hollywood & Highland Thursday

Bravo hits the road again with a customized Top Chef 18-wheeler semi-truck destined for Los Angeles, in partnership with Time Warner Cable, as part of the network’s highly-anticipated fifth annual “Top Chef: The Tour.”

The 15-city tour brings the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning cable food show to fans and foodies nationwide. Back by popular demand, the tour will feature a quick-fire show-down between two former Bravo Top Chef’testants Richard Blais (Seasons 4 & 8 Winner) and Hector Santiago (Season 6) who will compete in a live, interactive cook-off in front of Top Chef fans with a panel of local judges and audience members.

Thursday, June 21: Three live competitive and interactive shows are open to the public at 10:30 AM, 12 PM & 1:30 PM at the Hollywood & Highland Center at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard.

The free event, taking place at Hollywood & Highland Center, offers fans the opportunity to meet and greet the Chef’testants they’ve come to know and root for, hear Top Chef show “secrets,” and, for the first time ever, step into the judges shoes and rate their favorite Chef’testants’ food.

Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of on-site activities, including: a Top Chef-themed Cornhole Toss; Tip the Scale, where fans will be tasked with putting items in order of weight; and a Top Chef Horseshoe Toss. Attendees will also have the chance to win prizes in an affiliate-sponsored challenge, presented locally by Time Warner Cable.

Additionally, visitors can purchase Bravo and Top Chef merchandise on-site. “Top Chef: The Tour” is brought to you locally by Easy Life Furniture. For more information, visit www.bravotv.com/thetour.
