Top Chef
Top Chef is one of my favorite TV shows. It is on Bravo and is a competition between chefs to win the title of “Top Chef” (along with money, magazine spreads, cool prizes, etc)… We are currently on season 6 of Top Chef…. Thre is a dominant competitor thus far. But first, I want to give you a breakdown of the past seasons.
Top Chef Background: Every episode involves 2 challenges:
- Quickfire Challenge: Usually a fast, 30 minute challenge or so, with a twist or a restriction on ingredients. The winner of this usually gets immunity from elimation for the night.
- Elimination Challenge: The winner usually gets a great prize and the loser gets kicked off the show.
Here are some stats from previous seasons:
Season 1 “Top Chef”: Harold
- 2 Quickfire Wins
- 2 Elimination Challenge wins (including the finale, which won him the title)
Season 2 “Top Chef”: Ilan
- 1 Quickfire Win
- 3 Elimination Challenge wins
Season 3 “Top Chef”: Hung
- 4 Quickfire Wins
- 2 Elimination Challenge wins
Season 4 “Top Chef”: Stephanie
- 2 Quickfire Wins
- 5 Elimination Challenge wins
Season 5 “Top Chef”: Hosea
- 1 Quickfire Win
- 3 Elimination Challenge wins
Now, before I get to our current season (which is not over), let me say… In season 5, there was a dominate leader, Stefan. Stefan finished the competition with 4 quickfire wins and 4 elimination wins… He just didn’t win the finale… Stefan was the most dominant competitor we had ever seen…. Until…….
Season 6 Leader after 10 Episodes: KEVIN
- 4 Quickfire Wins
- 4 Elimination Challenge wins
There are still many episodes left and Kevin has already racked up this many wins?!?!
I love this show.

He went on to become a Restaurateur owning his own restaurants, trying crazy new flavors and things.
