Our program on Feb. 28th was our fellow Rotarian, Joy Cardin, formerly with WPR, interviewing Lindsay Christians, the Cap Times Food editor, regarding the long running, 21 years, food competition, Top Chef, filming this season’s series which is totally dedicated to Wisconsin Chefs and Wisconsin food. Lindsay said Wisconsin was chosen, not for its gourmet restaurants but for its culinary and food cultures. While the Top Chef winner will receive $250,000 and huge exposure, the state will receive immeasurable positive publicity throughout the nation. She enumerated the intricacies of filming the competition around the state as well as her brief role as a dishwasher for the production. The first episode is March 20th on Bravo or Peacock.
The CapTimes included an article about Lindsay’s appearance at our Rotary meeting, and here is a LINK to the article if you’d like to read more about Top Chef Wisconsin.
