Top Chef is about to get a taste of New Orleans.

Following its tradition of popping up in various cities around the country—Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, etc.—the chef competition show will spend its 11th season in the Big Easy.

"Bravo Media's Top Chef, in partnership with the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation and the Louisiana Office of Tourism, are pleased to announce that the new season of the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning show will take place in New Orleans," the network said in a statement Friday. "The vibrant food scene of New Orleans will be a welcome addition in the 11th season of the series."

Perhaps we'll see the chefs cooking up some gumbo and other Cajun grub soon?

Bravo has yet to release a premiere date for the season, so we'll just have to wait and see.

(E! Online and Bravo are part of the NBCUniversal family.)

For the Real Housewives of New York salary dispute, it's all over but the shouting.

Presumably the shouting begins when filming resumes for stars Carole Radziwill, Ramona Singer, LuAnn de Lesseps, Heather Thomson, Aviva Drescher and Sonja Morgan who have signed their contracts, Deadline.com reports. (Calls to Bravo's reps and the reps of the stars for comment have not yet been returned.)

Sources exclusively told E! News that while the show wasn't in danger of getting yanked, its stars had reportedly been anything but silent about their salary gripes.

NEWS: Behind the Real Housewives of New York salary standoff

After stalling negotiations briefly this week, the cast reportedly settled for modest raises coupled with increased budgets for hair and makeup.

All the better to tear each other's hair out, right?
