At the beginning of every Top Chef episode, Padma Lakshmi reminds viewers that the winner will make a special appearance at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, so it's no surprise that much of the events at the festival are devoted to all things Top Chef. Take Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio's demonstration, entitled "In the Kitchen with Top Chef," for example. The two culinary minds created dishes (her: a strawberry lychee cocktail and shrimp pea pasta; him a lobster pea ravioli), provided tips on how to cook more like a top chef, and best of all, revealed details from the upcoming season that recently finished filming in Las Vegas.

At this very moment in Los Angeles, NBC is hosting a press conference for its reality TV shows. While the upcoming Top Chef Masters was discussed, the most exciting information comes from a tweet by Kate Aurthur of the Los Angeles Times: Confirmed: The next season of Top Chef will take place in Las Vegas and will begin filming next week.There's been much speculation that Vegas might be the setting for season 6, but earlier this week when we wondered where the culinary competition would take place, most of you hoped it would be New Orleans.
