mike and i are sort of hooked on bravo tv's competition shows. we watch project runway, top chef, the dance one, the supermodel one... just generally hooked. we've mostly been cured of this simply because for one reason or another our tv stopped receiving bravo as a channel.

sigh.

today, though, when we were walking to the bus, mike thought the guy walking some 20 feet in front of us might be one of the celebrity chef judges from top chef.

we weren't quite sure, so we watched him carefully as we walked.

the hair was definitely right... it must be him.
he stopped to look at a pile of trash to see if there were any good furniture rejects... not him.
he pulled out a really expensive cell phone... must be him.

eventually, mike tried to run ahead to see for himself, but the guy turned the corner and we just never got a good look at his face.

celebrity sighting? perhaps. but i think this says more about us (the couple who stalked him for a block or two trying to figure it out...) than it does about the celebrity himself.
