Turn on the oven, the Season 22 cast of Bravo’s “Top Chef” reality series is ready.
It’s heating up in the kitchen once again as 15 new chefs have joined the competition series with a mission to win the biggest prize in the show’s history — $250,000 and a $125,000 flight credit to spend on travel. In addition, the winner will be featured in Food & Wine Magazine and appear at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.
Kristen Kish, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons return as the cast’s coaches, as this season spotlights the local food scene of Canada, including Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and Prince Edward Island.
There’s a lot cooking, so here’s your guide to the Season 22 chefs.
