Reality TV just got a little sweeter.
To celebrate the September 15 debut of Bravo’s Top Chef
spinoff, Top Chef Just Desserts, OpenTable.com is offering free dessert with meals purchased at more than 30
restaurants in Dallas and Fort Worth. Make your reservation through
the online service at one of the participating spots and you’ll get
one free dessert for every two diners at your table. This list
shows at which meals the restaurants are offering the dessert
freebie. Among them is Fort Worth’s Brownstone Restaurant, where
Casey Thompson, a Top Chef veteran, is pastry chef.
Top Chef: Just Desserts (10
p.m., Wednesdays) will follow the format of its predecessor. Twelve
contestants will compete in a series of challenges, including the
dreaded “quickfire.” Winner gets $100,000 furnished by Godiva
Chocolatier, a feature in Food
& Wine magazine, a showcase at the Annual
Pebble Beach Food & Wine Festival and a 2011 Buick Regal.
Judging the contestants will be Top
Chef host and judge Gail
Simmons, famed French chef Hubert
Keller, Restaurant Jean George’s executive pastry
chef Johnny Iuzzini
and Dannielle Kyrillos,
editor-at-large at DailyCandy.
The competing pastry makers include
37-year-old Morgan Wilson of Dallas, currently the Ritz-Carlton’s
executive pastry chef. Meet the rest of the cast here.
Small print warning: The free dessert
offer cannot be combined with any other offer, event, discount or
promotion. And not all restaurants on OpenTable are doing Free
Dessert Day. You do still earn your usual OpenTable points on
these reservations.
