Top Chef Outtage

Not the most official of confirmations, but a few emails came in claiming that Restaurant 15's chef Alex Eusibio really is a Top Chef contestant this season: One person heard it while dining in the restaurant, another just "thinks" he's on the show, which sounds like nothing. But maybe it's something. According to his bio, before coming to LA Eusibio was the sous chef at Calle Ocho in New York, and then exec chef at Cuba Cuba which won "Best of Denver" awards and was recognized by Hispanic magazine. If he is on Top Chef and the producers stick to their classic type-casting ways, Eusebio could be this year's Memo. Remember: We'll take any confirmation right here in the tipline.
