After suffering much Top Chef withdrawal from watching their masterful creations come to fruition week after week on Top Chef All Stars (Master's just doesn't have the same catty appeal) the only thing that will satisfy the hole in my heart is a cross country road trip to try these artists' food at the real Top Chef restaurants. From Midwest to the coasts, these Bravo stars have a hold in almost every major city. And it's a little strange that they put so little focus on where these magnificent gems are in America. So without further ado, your favorite chef-testant's livelihoods.

Richard Blais- Flip Burger Boutique, Atlanta, GA

The ever worrisome winner combined his chic molecular gastronomy techniques with down Southern home flavors. Believe it or not, his restaurant re-modernized the burger with homemade condiments and milkshakes made of liquid nitrogen (and yes, Krispy Kreme and Foie Gras are actual flavors).

Casey Thompson- Brownstone, Fort Worth, TX

The girl next door and America's favorite winner of season 3 got her training from celebrity chef Dean Fearing at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, working her way up from prep cook to sous chef before leaving to accept the executive chef position at one of Dallas' most popular Asian restaurants, Shinsei. Thompson returned to her native Texas roots in 2010 to serve as executive chef of Brownstone Restaurant & Lounge in Fort Worth, spokesperson for Terrazas wine and also serves as a culinary ambassador for the Bay Area Red Cross.

Jen Carroll-10 Arts Bistro & Lounge, Philadelphia

The once mild mannered East Coaster surprised audiences with her take no prisoners attitude this season. Carroll returned to her hometown of Philadelphia after working as Sous Chef at New York's Le Bernardin, under the tutelage of Michelin 3-Star Chef Eric Ripert. She returned with him to Philly to open 10 Arts Bistro & Lounge in the Ritz-Carlton, Philly.

Fabio Viviani- Café Firenze, California

It's no surprise that comedic and fan favorite, straight off the boat Fabio has his hands in not one, but two Italian eateries, Café Firenze in Moorpark, CA and Firenze Osteria in Toluca Lake, California. Viviani brings his Tuscan dishes and Florentine flair to Southern California and is also working on a line of signature gourmet food products, GoGourmet.

Stephanie Izard, The Girl and the Goat, Chicago, IL

The surprise hometown (and first female) winner of Top Chef, Izard opened her wildly popular gastrobistro the Girl and the Goat last summer. With patrons fighting for reservations 6 months in advance, she is in the process of opening her second restaurant, the Little Goat, a neighborhood diner/bakery later this year.
