Atlanta represents in Bravo's 6th season of Top Chef

Kevin Gillespie of Woodfire Grill
Hector Santiago of Pura Vida
Eli Kirshtein of Eno

It's official, Bravotv.com has announced the contestants for Season 6 of Top Chef and three contestants are repping Atlanta proving that when it comes to culinary innovation and foodie trailblazers, Atlanta makes the cut (really bad pun intended).

We all followed Atlanta chef Richard Blais as he rose through the ranks on Top Chef 4, knocking off contestants one liquid-nitrogen-infused bite at a time all the way to the finals.

Do you think these three have the chops to out-maneuver the other contestants?

Are these the 3 chefs you would have picked to rep Atlanta if you were the casting director?

Well, I like Pura Vida.

Interesting choices. I've been wanting to go to Eno for a long time.

I think the cooks at Ecco, Agave and The Shed are good, too. Maybe they'll be picked next time!

Thanks for posting the info.

Woodfire Grill rocks! They completely support the local movement and sustainability. Eno always has a great menu.- I love the new chef at The Union in Alpharetta!

All three kick butt and can compete on a national scale.

Eli and Kevin are two of my favorite chefs in ATL.

They are worthy!

The only thing that bugs me, is that it takes a TV show to bring these guys local respect...
Woodfire is 10x better w/ Kevin running the kitchen... Eli has made me some of the most ridiculous food I've had (anywhere).

I can't wait to see how they perform. Anyone else plan on tuning in?

Agree with Hardy/Dirty comment about it taking a tv show...we all know Atlanta is up there in the foodie world!
