'Top Chef' couple headlines Boston Pride

Chefs Jen Biesty and Zoi Antonitsas, recent castaways from Bravo's "Top Chef 4" in Chicago and an openly gay couple based in San Francisco, will present a cooking demonstration at Macy's Kitchen from Noon-2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10.

The duo, who announced on national TV that they were in a committed four-year relationship, will headline a series of events called "Out In Downtown" scheduled for Boston Pride 2008.

"I think I was silent when I first heard," Antonitsas tells EDGE Boston about her recent stint on "Top Chef."

Antonitsas continues, "I was in shock. We never even dreamed it would be possible we would both be picked. We knew there had never been a couple on the show."

"Our first reaction was we were very excited for the opportunity," Biesty says. "Then we wondered what it would be like as a couple." Nothing like a weekly elimination cook-off challenge with 13 other chefs to put a strain on a four-year relationship. "When we got past that is when we decided it would be fun," she adds.
