While the show “always” represented a professional chef, Simmons, 48, he noted that everyone was still “inventing a formula” in early periods. “And since then it is very rare to get the wrong food.” Remember that they are not home chefs who tried to be chefs … They are professionals at the highest level. And so these days – for the last few seasons, but certainly this season is no exception – it is not about removing the worst food in every episode. ”
Simmons that was part of Top Chef The team since the premiere at Bravo in 2006, said Our That the better the cooks, the harder it is to judge. “The food is always so good,” she said. “We don’t put up things.” At this point, things are rarely wrong because they are really talented. ”

In addition to showing the beauty of Canada, the new season brings a lot of talent. “The contestants are so confident, so clever, and they really come with a strong look, and that’s what we are looking for.” And we usually get only three quarters of the way in the season, ”Simmons continued. “This season from the gate really showed us who they are.” They are vulnerable, they are qualified. I think there is such an amazing range of cultures. ”
Stricter competition comes with a higher talent level. “These are real chefs and challenges are that they are claiming by design and I think what really goes through is how difficult they have,” Colicchio said Our. “In the middle of the season, the chefs only look at us,” we are exhausted. “It’s an endurance test (a) it’s a cooking skill test.”
As for why Top Chef was Hlara food television Almost 20 years? “It just improves and improves,” Colicchio added.
