Dave Grohl To Follow In Nuno Bettencourt’s Footsteps

You probably all know that Top Chef fires itself back up tonight (my TiVo is set, and I really hope the show continues using Cobra Starship’s “The City Is At War” as its theme), with a season set in New York City. Top Chef is no stranger to inviting on musicians, what with Billy Joel’s wife woodenly hosting the first season and Nuno Bettencourt appearing in the background of a dinner-party challenge during Season Two; the show’s dalliance with rock will continue two weeks from tonight, when Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters will judge a challenge. The remaining chefs will have to cook the band Thanksgiving dinner while they’re on the road in Rochester, N.Y–a feat that’ll be even harder than the undoubtedly crappy arena kitchen will make it seem, given that the show was apparently shot at the end of July.
