Update: Another source says some of her local restaurant clients had been in the running for Food Network’s Chefs Vs City. She suspects the cameras at A&O and Bastille may be related to that project.

If you happened to walk by Anchovies and Olives yesterday at around 8am, you might have noticed four or five cameramen (they were all men) setting up shop.

What were they doing? Ethan Stowell PR rep Kirsten Graham would tell me only that the cameras belonged to the Food Network.

Is chef Ethan Stowell, who is nominated for a James Beard Award again this year and who owns Anchovies along with three other Seattle restaurants, doing a Food Network show in conjunction with his cookbook New Italian Kitchen, scheduled for release in September?

You’ll know when I know.
