'Top Chef' contestants set to return to New Orleans. Again.
Top Chef: York" blew into town in January to film the final two episodes of the hit series on Bravo. And now it's as if the show won't leave New Orleans alone.
Four of this season's contestants will participate in the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience, the culinary festival being held this year May 19 -23. Jamie Lauren, Leah Cohen and Jeff McInnis will all be participating in Saturday's Grand Tasting, according to N.O.W.F.E. spokesperson Liz Goliwas Bodet.
They will be joined by Hosea Rosenberg, the season's eventual winner, who will also be a featured chef at FEASTiVAL, a new N.O.W.F.E. event taking place May 21 at Harrah's New Orleans Theatre.
I only saw a few of the episodes, but given how much it was blogged about, I feel duty-bound to mention Rosenberg and Cohen shared an on-camera "showmance" over the course of the season.
Tickets for N.O.W.F.E. are available at nowfe.com.

Culinary students work with 'Top Chef' winner
About 10 Lansing Community College culinary students got to work with a pro today.
Stephanie Izard, fourth-season winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef” reality TV show, spent the afternoon with the students as they prepared food in the kitchen of the Lansing Center.
Izard will use the food Saturday during cooking demonstrations at local libraries.
“It would have been a lot of work by myself. I would have been here until very late this evening,” she said this afternoon, as she shaved pieces of fennel that she’ll mix into a salad.
Lansing Community College culinary student Craig Foster stood beside her, breaking stems off mushrooms and separating them into two pans.
“As a culinary student, it’s always nice to be able to work with really good chefs,” said Foster, 33, of Lansing. “It’s nice to see someone who started out as a student. It just shows you how far you can go up in the business.”
Izard will appear at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Okemos Library, 4321 Okemos Road in Okemos, and at 3 p.m. at the Holt-Delhi Library, 2078 Aurelius Road in Holt.
