Sam Talbot, a semi-finalist on the second season of "Top Chef," is planning on a table for two from now on.

The fan favorite and his Colombian girlfriend, Paola Guerro, are engaged, reports People.

"I'm so in love it's unreal. We got engaged this weekend," Talbot says. "She's amazing. She's stunning."

Guerro, 30, is a model and T-shirt designer who met Talbot on his 30th birthday in Brazil last December.

Talbot is still in touch with "Top Chef" judge Tom Colicchio (Gramercy Tavern, Craft).

Tom and I talk all the time," Talbot says. "We're friends."

Talbot is the head of his new restaurant, The Surf Lodge, in Montauk, New York.
