Crains reports that the inn, which is Colicchio's first, could prove exciting enough to make the chef want to delve further into the hotel game. (And for our stomach's sake, we certainly hope so).

"In the meantime, he's hiring bellmen, housekeepers, valets and restaurant staff. Mr. Colicchio tapped veteran luxury hotelier Jeff Morgan, who has operated Caribbean resorts, to be the property's general manager."

Jeez, we thought being a hotel restaurant staffer was stressful enough. But having to work under a Top Chef judge? We think we might crumble under the pressure faster than a graham cracker over a pie tin.

Topping Rose House will open later this summer.
