Bravo will cook up a meal in London as Top Chef season 20 will be shot entirely in the city. This move marks the first time the series will be set overseas, away from its home in the United States. Production begins this month and will aim to release in 2023.
The next outing for Top Chef will be hosted by Padma Lakshmi, head judge Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons. High-performing contestants from other shows within the Chef-verse will compete in London. The World-All Stars season sees finalists and previous winners from 29 international iterations with a total of 16 chefs of the cooking series who will duke it out in the kitchen to see who is the “Top Chef.”
Other international judges and experts will join the three judges to oversee the performance and outcome of the dishes prepared by the competitors, thus deciding who goes home between every episode until they have whittled down who is the best.
Top Chef season 20 goes to London
The reality cooking series debuted its first season in 2006. In that time, it has had plenty of Emmy nominations. Most recently, it was nominated for Outstanding Competition Program, Outstanding Casting for a Reality Program (Samantha Hanks, Ronald Mare Jr.), Outstanding Directing for a Reality Program (Ariel Boles), and Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program (Lakshmi). In 2010 and 2008, Top Chef won Emmys for its editing and standing as a reality competition series.
Top Chef is produced by Magical Elves and Casey Kriley. Jo Sharon, Doneen Arquines, and Hilary Olsen as executive producers. It is licensed by NBCUniversal Formats.
No specific release date has been set for Top Chef season 20. It is aiming for 2023 as it gears up for production later this month. Meanwhile, season 19 wrapped in June. The latest and other previous seasons can be watched on Bravo.
