Boston Will Apparently Not Be Home to Top Chef for Season 10

It appears that the possibility of a food-based reality show coming to Boston are quickly fading.

The Boston Herald is reporting that attempts to bring Top Chef to Boston have apparently failed, with the show likely coming to Seattle or Portland, OR, instead. The article mentions that there was not enough cash raised for the show to come to the city, nor was there a sufficient sponsorship deal. The office of Mayor Menino had no comment, according to the Herald.

Over the past winter, word had been going around that Boston might be able to bring Bravo's cooking competition show to the city for Season 10, with Portland being another top possibility.
