A new “Top Chef” season begins Wednesday night with Baltimore chef Timothy Dean among the contestants, and I have the inside scoop on the first episode, courtesy of a rough cut that Bravo distributed to the media. I’m sworn to secrecy when in comes to who’s eliminated in the first show, but I can tell you this much: alpha males dominate, a statement that should require no spoiler alert given the outsized personalities of chefs in general, and aspiring TV chefs in particular. One of the contestants flatly states that he wants his competitors to size him up and conclude, “This guy is truly the alpha male.” As I write in a profile of Dean that appears in Wednesday’s Sun , the Prime Steakhouse owner does not come off as having the biggest ego of the bunch

There was quite a to-do this afternoon when the folks behind Village hotspot The Lion —which resides in and capitalizes upon a very historic 1839 space—appeared before the Landmarks Preservation Committee . Here’s why: Last November, the LPC approved some changes to the building at 62 West 9th Street. But they never approved the faux ivy that now covers the facade nor did they okay the plywood planter box above the awning which holds small lights, is a planter for real ivy, and holds up the awning
