Las Vegan pockets $100,000 as ‘Top Chef: Just Desserts’ victor

No doubt about it, Christopher Hanmer can keep a secret.
On the finale of "Top Chef: Just Desserts" on Oct. 26, Hanmer, 33, was announced as the Top Chef -- and the winner of the $100,000 top prize. But because the show is taped, he knew the outcome this summer, including when he was interviewed for a show-premiere story that appeared in the Review-Journal on Aug. 24. Because of Bravo's airtight secrecy precautions, Hanmer couldn't utter a word. (Two other contestants with Las Vegas ties -- chefs Carlos Enriquez and Craig Poirer -- also competed in the show.)
