My neighbor was going to the bank and noticed the vanity plate on the car that pulled in front of her in the parking lot: TOPCHEF.
The guy who got out of the car was not the one who won the "Top Chef" season finale last night. (And you won't get the winner's name out of me! I learned my lesson last time. If you want to know -- and only if you want to know -- check out The Sun's Reality Check blog.)
It was Timothy Dean.
Bad enough for Dean that he did not come out on top on the show, which sent him packing early on.
But just hours after someone else was crowned Top Chef late Wednesday, Dean's Prime Steakhouse is scheduled to be sold in a foreclosure auction.
Dean's lawyer is insisting that the auction, scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, isn't going to happen.
