This story about “Top Chef” first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
For its milestone 20th season, “Top Chef” headed across the pond to London, the first time an entire season of Bravo’s culinary competition show was set overseas. In addition to highlighting talented chefs, the show also showcases the cultural and historical sites of its host cities, of which there was no shortage in London.
“From very early on, we talked about the location for that first intro being the Tower of London and us wanting to make this feel as big as it possibly could,” director Ariel Boles said of the season opener, which introduced the 16 “World All-Stars” and saw them meet host Padma Lakshmi in a nearby park. “Seeing all of these chefs from around the world for the first time in this iconic place and being able...

Top Chef has found its new host — and it didn’t have to go far to do so.
Kristen Kish, who won the 10th season of Bravo’s culinary competition and has served as a guest judge several times since, will take over for Padma Lakshmi in season 21. Top Chef will set up its kitchen in Wisconsin for the coming season, focusing on Milwaukee and Madison. Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons will once again sit at the judges’ table.
Lakshmi, who has hosted Top Chef since its second season in 2006-07, announced June 2 that she’s leaving the show. “Having completed a glorious 20th season as host and exec producer, I am extremely proud to have been a part of building such a successful show and of the impact it has had in the worlds of television and food,” she said. “After 17 years, many of the cast and crew are...

During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Top Chef judge Padma Lakshmi admitted that she and the other judges have sometimes identified winners early in the competition.
“There are seasons,” Lakshmi said. “I’m not going to tell you which one, but I’m going to say it was a very recent season. But not this one!”
Casey Kriley and Jo Sharon, Co-CEOs of Magical Elves, the production company behind Top Chef, told Showbiz Cheat Sheet that while they don’t tend to guess who will win, they will often have a top four in mind – and usually end up surprised in the long run.

Inside the Unprecedented Effort to Film ‘Top Chef’ Through Covid, Protests and Wildfires (Exclusive)
The “Top Chef” Quickfire Challenge was about to start filming, and Padma Lakshmi — the Bravo show’s longtime host, judge and executive producer — was being fussed over by people wearing masks and face shields.
“This is a lot of copy to get through,” said Lakshmi, who would soon have to describe a complicated “Black Box” challenge — one imported from “Top Chef: France” — to the show’s five remaining contestants on this Sunday afternoon in mid-October. In the Quickfire, the cheftestants (to use the “Top Chef” fans’ term of art) would enter a lightless box one at a time for five minutes to try to replicate a dish before them in the pitch black. With a night-vision camera, viewers will see the chefs tasting, smelling and feeling the food in order to figure out its ingredients, and how it was cooked. The dish was created by a local star from the Portland,...

Bravo has greenlit “Top Chef Amateurs,” to be hosted by longtime “Top Chef” judge Gail Simmons. Production on the show will begin later this month in Portland, Ore., where the next season of “Top Chef” has been filming under Covid-19 protocols. “Top Chef Amateurs” will be produced in a similar production bubble, and will premiere next year.
On each episode of “Top Chef Amateurs,” two home cooks will compete against one another, duel-style, in famous challenges from previous seasons of the original show. There will be an interactive component this week, in which fans can vote on Twitter, tagging @BravoTopChef, to decide whether the classic challenge seven deadly sins (a seven-course meal inspired by the sins) or the aphrodisiac challenge will be featured in the new competition show. Voting takes place Tuesday through Friday, and the winning challenge will be announced on Oct. 26.

Earlier this week Bravo announced that reality heavyweight “Top Chef” had started production on its 18th season in Portland, Oregon— it’s just the latest culinary competition to head back to work since “The Great British Bake Off” returned last week on Netflix.
It’s difficult to imagine that nearly 15 years has passed since Bravo first introduced the world to its merry band of cheftestants and a culinary competition that would take the world by storm. It changed the tide of reality TV, from a genre that perpetuated tawdy shock-and-awe spectacles to one that allowed for storybuilding and empathetic characters.
But empires aren’t built overnight and “Top Chef” was no different, not adding signature host Padma Lakshmi, with her warmth, withering looks, and witty repartee until Season 2 and continuing to fine-tune the series long after that.
The attention to detail and pursuit of excellence is likely why “Top Chef...

Tom Colicchio wants to tell me a story.
The year is 2007 and Colicchio has just opened Craft LA. Having been in the restaurant business for a while, the chef had established a friendly rapport with Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic and Los Angeles icon Jonathan Gold, and yet hadn’t received a review for the restaurant from the writer, then working at L.A. Weekly.
So Colicchio waited. For years. And not only did Gold never review Craft LA, but it never appeared on his list of 100 best restaurants in L.A. The restauranteur was flummoxed.
“Finally, after years of this, I called him up,” Colicchio said during a recent phone interview. “I called him up and I said, ‘Jonathan, what happened here? Did something happen?”
The answer was yes. Something had happened. And here’s what it was:

Doneen Arquines is at the top of the team behind “Top Chef,” but the executive producer wasn’t always leading the ship of the hit Bravo reality competition series.
In 2005, Arquines’ story was a fairly typical one for entertainment industry hopefuls: She was a new Los Angeles resident, relatively fresh out of college, and looking for work. Arquines heard about a new cooking series that was on the hunt for behind-the-scenes talent and ended up scoring a job interview via her college connections.
Arquines didn’t know much about the show and was a picky eater at the time—her words—but was told it was essentially a food-themed “Project Runway,” a show she loved. And so, Arquines became a production assistant for “Top Chef,” which the team hoped would become a hit in the (at the time) largely uncharted genre of reality competition TV.
Fourteen years and 16 seasons later,...

Movies made by women directors were snubbed by the Producers Guild of America when they announced the nominees today! Both "Selma" by Ava DuVernay and "Unbroken" by Angelina Jolie were left in the dust. I agree with not nominating the latter movie (sorry Ms. Jolie but "Unbroken" is too earnest for my taste) but "Selma" deserved a nod! It's a profound movie aided by DuVernay's skilled directing and David Oyelowo's fine performance as Martin Luther King Jr.
You know who I'm blaming for this? Paramount! The studio did not send screeners to Academy voters. Heck, they did not sent one to us, the Broadcast Film Critics Association. But after begging, they did send a link so I could watch "Selma" in time for our Critics' Choice Movie Award nominations.
"Selma" is a "late to the party" entry that is gaining momentum dashed by the PGA! If you remember, Clint Eastwood...

The Producers Guild of America (PGA) added to the industry mix Monday morning with a list of 10 nominees to keep the awards season grist mill churning. "Gone Girl" popped up again, and it shouldn't be a surprise. It's one of the year's biggest hits. And speaking of hits, I had a hunch "Nightcrawler" would find a place after becoming such a well-liked, profitable success. There it sits. The question for both of these films is whether this on-going industry/guild love ends up translating to Oscar recognition.
