Jack Nicholson, and eight friends, took in Wednesday’s episode of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” at 10 Arts Bistro & Lounge by Eric Ripert at the Ritz-Carlton. 10 Arts chef de cuisine is “Top Chef” contender Jennifer Carroll, a Somerton native. Nicholson stopped into the kitchen where he said hello to Carroll and the rest of her staff. The screen legend went for a rib-eye steak and ordered two small birthday cakes for members of his party. He'll be in town through the end of the month shooting the annoyingly-untitled James L. Brooks comedy. 10 Arts hosts screening dinners each week for the show, which airs at 10.

Any word on whether Philly will be playing "Washington, DC" in this movie?

Hey dan, I get the feeling you're annoyed that the movie shooting her is untitled. You should let us know in every post you write.

what's more annoying... this movie in production not having a title or Dan always needing to refer to it as the "annoyingly untitled James L Brooks movie"? I think the answer is obvious.
