Pack your knives: Auditions for Top Chef in SF

Bravo TV, home of Top Chef, will hold an open-audition casting call on Sunday in San Francisco, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Parlor, 2801 Leavenworth St., according to www.sfist.com.

It's the first stop on a seven-city swing through the country by the show's producers to find chefs for Season 7 of the program.

Bay Area chefs have done well in past Top Chef seasons, and one San Francisco chef, Left Coast Catering owner Laurine Wickett, remains in the current competition.
