Since Top Chef Season 5 starting filming in New York in late July, it has been the goal of many a TC fanatic (ourselves included) to figure out who exactly made it into this season and how and when they got axed. So far, we've received intel on about eight of the suspected 16 cheftestants. To keep all the info in order and easy to digest, welcome to Eater's Great Top Chef Map, a look at where the rumored and confirmed cheftestants hail from, how they were outed, and what their experience was prior to the show. As always, if you have any new intel of more info on the chefs, send it our way.
