Yesterday, we linked to a blog post over at metrocurean reporting a rumor that Bravo’s popular culinary competition, Top Chef, would likely be heading to D.C. soon to film its next season. And now today, the Washington Post’s Joe Yonan is saying the same thing.

Both of those stories are citing unnamed sources, and as the Washington Business Journal reports, Bravo has not yet announced its Season 7 location, and has declined to confirm the rumor. This also isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor.

Still, with two well connected D.C. food writers feeling comfortable enough with their sources to share the news, the odds appear to be fairly good. Until we can get official confirmation, we anxiously await our first Padma sighting.
