The Top Chef Texas Florida Connection

Working at Moto in Chicago isn't the only thing Top Chef Texas contestants Chef Chris Jones and Chef Richie Farina have in common. Both have roots in the Sunshine State!

The tweet Chef Jones sent me...

Now you just have to choose whether or not you're going to cheer on Chris who hails from Fort Lauderdale and has family in Tallahassee or Richie who's a Tampa Bay boy - Riverview to be specific!

The tweet Chef Farina sent me....

Meanwhile, I'm heading to Open Table to make Moto reservations for my next trip to Chicago! Good luck guys!

PS. If you aren't following @JeffHouck, the Tampa Tribune food editor on Twitter during Top Chef, you aren't really enjoying the show to it's full extent.
