Top Chef All-Stars Announced Tonight, Bourdain Will Judge

If you fell off the Top Chef wagon after this less-than-exhilarating season, don't worry because Top Chef All-Stars is being announced tonight. Bravo Digital Media senior editor Monica Reyhani revealed on her blog today that season eight will in fact be an all-stars show and that Anthony Bourdain will share co-judging duties with Gail Simmons alongside Tom Colicchio and Padma. The season will begin on Dec. 1 and the cheftestants will be announced tonight by Andy Cohen on the Top Chef D.C. reunion show. We have a sneaking suspicion that a certain Chicago chef will be back for the action.
