While we're talking Beard Awards and new ventures by big-name chefs and all, we just had a very visceral reaction to this post over on Grub Street -- a bunch of chefs will guest-star on this week's episode of Treme on HBO. And not just any bunch, but Eric Ripert, Tom Colicchio, Wylie Dufresne and David Chang.

Anyone else loving the new show? We're not ashamed to admit it -- we're schoolgirl giddy, we like it that much. And we've never even been to New Orleans. Treme airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on HBO.
