"How much does it cost to make one episode?"
Does anyone have any inside information about what it costs to make one episode of Top Chef?

I am an independant documentary filmmaker who has been asked to produce a documentary that will be similar to Top Chef and I was wondering how much to charge. I thought that knowing the production cost for TC might give me a place to start.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

http://www.hotel-online.com/News/2007_Sep_05/k.MIT.1189009359.html gives some numbers for how much hotels and the tourism bureau paid to off-set production costs. I assume that didn't cover all the costs.

ETA:

http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2001-08-09 has a men.tion on the costs per episode for a drama vs a game type reality show.

You can probably find more info with google, took almost nothing to find out that informaiton

Not bad! It's a start, anyway. I Googled for an hour and didn't come up with anything.

Thanks.
