It’s official: “Top Chef” has started filming in the Carolinas. Though we don’t know exactly when production will pop up in Greenville, we’re keeping our eyes peeled on Whole Foods.
According to our sources, production details are on lock and cloaked in secrecy — but we have good news. Former “Top Chef” contestants, “Chopped” champions, and other chefs that have shared their skills on the screen will be in town for euphoria. Here’s where to find them.
