Top Chef Is Coming to Kentucky

A popular TV cooking competition is coming to the commonwealth.

Bravo has announced that its next season of “Top Chef” will be filmed in Kentucky.

The show will focus on locations in Louisville, Lexington, and the Lake Cumberland region.

Bravo says filming will begin this spring, with the season airing later this year.

The network is still accepting applications from chefs to compete on the program.

According a post on the Daily Dish, Shari Lavine, Executive Vice President of Current Production at Bravo Media, Kentucky offers some geographic diversity. 

"We are always looking for rising culinary destinations and are looking forward to planting our flag in Kentucky and soaking up a diverse region of the country that we haven't yet explored on Top Chef. Kentucky has a strong food identity and we know our incoming chefs will be inspired by the bourgeoning culinary scene."
