There is a new episode of “Top Chef: Charleston” coming up in a matter of hours on Bravo, and judging from the new sneak peek below, there is going to be one culinary showdown during the episode that makes a particular group of fans rather happy: The superfans that have watched the series for years.

Last Chance Kitchen 14 review, Top Chef
Tonight on “Top Chef: Charleston,” we saw Annie Pettry become the latest chef sent home in what seemed primarily to be an issue about preparation. She didn’t step up quickly enough to pick her meal of choice, and then struggled with the timing of it given that she tried to make a tart when it […]
Last week, we saw the premiere of “Top Chef: Charleston,” and it was a pretty exciting hour of TV! We had a quick showdown that brought you the first elimination of the season, but at the same time, we didn’t get a proper challenge beyond an opening quickfire and a showdown between two chefs. Much […]
Following the end of “Top Chef: Charleston,” we saw a moment where it looked as though we were about to lose John Tesar from the competition. Judging from the preview for what is still to come a little bit later this season, the show really should be thanking its lucky stars that this didn’t happen […]
The premiere of “Top Chef: Charleston” has now officially come and gone — and what a premiere it ended up being! While we still don’t love the concept of newbie chefs facing off against returning ones, this episode did at least give us a good sense from a storytelling point of view as to why […]
On Bravo tomorrow night, the latest season of “Top Chef” will premiere on Bravo; while we were hesitant about the whole newbies vs. returning chefs premise at the center of it, we’ve enjoyed watching some of the trailers and previews and feel like the essence of the show you know and love is still very much […]
We’ve already made one thing clear about the format for “Top Chef” season 14: We don’t like it. While we’d love to have a season stuffed to the brim with returning contestants (we’re really fond of the All-Star season), a season with half returnees isn’t anywhere near as good on paper. That means you’ve got […]
Earlier this month, we first learned that “Top Chef” season 14 is adopting a twist relatively similar to a “Fans vs. Favorites” from “Survivor,” where chefs new to the competition are facing off against people who have been there before. Personally, we don’t love the idea since it feels obviously slanted towards the returning players, […]
Is “Top Chef” doing a “Fans vs. Favorites” format similar to “Survivor”? While it may be wrong to designate it in precisely that manner, this does appear to be reasonably close to what the show is doing entering season 14. Bravo announced today that their latest season will begin on Thursday, December 1 at 10:00 […]
American Ninja Warrior, Emmys, The Amazing Race, Top Chef
We’ve made it no secret over the years that we hate the way that the Emmys handled the Reality Competition Show category. Specifically, there are times in which it feels like they don’t even bother to watch many of the shows that are nominated. We really hope that this is the year that voters turn […]
