The ninth season of Bravo's hit franchise, 'Top Chef,' brings something new to the kitchen with a cutting-edge transmedia play sponsored exclusively by Toyota, allowing viewers to follow story lines across multiple platforms.

Go big or go home - that's the motto for season nine of the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning No.1 food show on cable, 'Top Chef,' as it heads to the state that does everything bigger - Texas. Possibly the worst kept locale secret in this moment's culinary universe, the new season of 'Top Chef' will heartily embrace the Lone Star State's adage that all things are bigger as, in a series first, the production will head to three cities within the season - Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. Season nine will also showcase many surprising twists and turns and never-before-seen challenges and events. Returning to the judges table is host Padma Lakshmi and head judge, chef Tom Colicchio, alongside judges Gail Simmons and new this season, famed chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse and critically acclaimed chef Hugh Acheson. 'Top Chef: Texas' will air later this fall.

MSG Entertainment and Lincoln Center have announced a new partnership and combo package of two of its behind-the-scenes tours.

'Top Chef' headjudge Tom Colicchio wants Bravo's Emmy-winning reality series to get the Broadway treatment, according to a recent article in NY Magazine. Andy Cohen revealed at opening night of Broadway's THE NORMAL HEART: 'Tom Colicchio has been pestering me to do Top Chef, The Musical! He thinks he has a great idea about doing something like that ... I told him I'm not so sure, but he's trying to convince me!'
