On Wednesday night, Bravo showed a Top Chef rerun, leaving everyone in Seattle another week to wonder what's going to happen to our hometown competitors, Ashley Merriman (soon departing from Branzino) and Robin Leventhal (formerly of Crave).

In a recent interview with Seattle Metropolitan, Leventhal says the minute she got back from Vegas, she went to I Love Sushi. And as far as what's ahead:

Right now, I’m really trying to foster relationships, trying to bridge that gap between my community and my craft, and create the continuity in my life that will enable me to carry my creativity to the forefront. My fantasies are creating a product line that will give a percent donation to the Fred Hutch [Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center—Leventhal is a cancer survivor] to further my investment to finding a cure for lymphoma. I have a Masters in ceramics—I would like to design tableware. These are my fantasies.

Add that to the recent foreshadowing—all the grumbling about her by the other chefs selected for inclusion on the show, along with the poll on the Bravo website shown above—and it sounds like she's not long for the Top Chef world. And meanwhile, Belltown's See Sound Lounge—known more as a nightclub than a restaurant—is advertising the fact that Leventhal's the new executive chef.

I would call Leventhal for comment, but contestants are not allowed to speak to press without the Disembodied Voice of the Bravo Network present (see here).
