TOP CHEF

CONCEPT

For the 16th season of the competition, Top Chef and the Michelin Guide are joining forces around their shared ambitions: to reveal the gastronomic talents of tomorrow, promote culinary excellence and creativity, and enhance the culinary profession! This is a first in the history of Top Chef: the winner of this season’s event will open a pop-up restaurant the day after the finale and will have the opportunity to obtain the ultimate reward: a first Michelin Star. For this unique season, the inspectors of the famous red guide will regularly come to judge the candidates as they do in a restaurant, right up until the finale! The historic chefs, the judges Hélène Darroze, Stéphanie Le Quellec, Philippe Etchebest, Paul Pairet and Glenn Viel, will retain their key role and will be responsible for recruiting, advising and selecting the candidates to bring them to the finale.
