A tipster told us this morning that the two “well known” Philly chefs with a “history together” that were supposedly tapped for Top Chef Season 9, are sister and brother Marcie and Evan Turney. Marcie is one half of the dynamic duo behind the 13th Street empire that includes Barbuzzo, Lolita and Bindi. Brother Evan helms the kitchen around the corner at Varga Bar. Marcie confirmed via text earlier today that the show’s producers reached out to both she and her brother last year for Season 8, but she was too busy preparing Barbuzzo for its launch. The two have been called back to meet with the producers following next week’s month’s open casting call. Whether or not Marcie agrees to do it remains to be seen. All she’s saying now is, “We’ll see.”
