Sign up to be a diner when ‘Top Chef’ films in Charleston

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t mind eating food prepared by sweaty, nervous chefs, I have really good news for you.

Bravo announced yesterday that it’s looking for diners to help in the season 14 production of “Top Chef,” which is set to starting filming in Charleston in the next week or so.

You can sign up to eat what the chef-testants prepare by emailing TopChefCharleston@gmail.com.

If you get picked, please tell me because I want to hear EVERYTHING. I’m not signing up for this because one time I went to a fundraiser and a local TV reporter there filmed me eating barbecue looking like a prisoner and I will never get over that ... or forgive her. But I’m sure your on-camera experiences will be much more dainty. It is Charleston after all.

By the way, there’s no chance the “Top Chef” cameras will be venturing south to Beaufort County. I already checked ... womp womp.
