'Top Chef: World All-Stars' in London

If you’re anything like us, then the minute that one season of Top Chef comes to an end, you begin counting down the days until the next one begins. Almost immediately after Buddha Lo was crowned the winner of Season 19 in June of last year, we were champing at the bit for information on Season 20.

Thankfully, there’s not much longer to wait until Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, and Gail Simmons return to our television screens. On Jan. 25, Bravo announced that Top Chef Season 20 would kick off on Thursday, March 9!

Not only will the show return to its former glory after having to follow strict COVID-19 protocols for the past two seasons, but it’ll be unlike any Top Chef season that we’ve ever seen before. For the very first time, the series takes place entirely abroad in London. What’s more, the cast features finalists and winners from previous international versions of Top Chef.

Dubbed Top Chef: World All-Stars, Season 20 brings together 16 talented chefs representing 11 Top Chef competitions from around the world. So, who are they and who has what it takes to win the ultimate Top Chef title? Let’s meet them!
