Napa?

So far, 42% percent of people who responded to our finale location poll think that the TC6 finale is being filmed in Napa. According to some rumormongering by Eater, that's looking to be a good guess. Mattin, Hector, Ron, and Mike were spotted lunching there on Friday, and I've seen photos that include Laurine and Preeti as well.

Thomas Keller is listed as a guess judge on the official Bravo press release, so it seems like another good guess that his French Laundry will feature in the finale. And how about Top Chef Masters finalist Michael Chiarello? TCM competitors have been guest judges throughout the season....

The Latest: Bravo's own Andy Cohen tweeted yesterday that he was on his way home from Napa, so I guess that makes it official. Unless his being there was just a giant coincidence. :)

If I were Chiarello, I wouldn't have anything to do with Top Chef. I was used for ratings in that whole Dale deal.

Really? You think Dale got bigger ratings for the show? Highly doubtful.

And any opportunity to plug oneself and one's business - while most likely getting paid for the opportunity - should be taken.

If anyone knows the ins and outs of TV it's Chiarello. I doubt he holds anything against TC for how he was portrayed. Actually, I respect him more for what he did on TCM than anything he did on Food Network.
