Top Chef is back! Season 21 invites 15 of the best chefs nationwide to partake in one of the biggest culinary competitions in the world. Season 21 is packed with innovative challenges, higher stakes, new rules and a new host. Top Chef Season 10 winner Kristen Kish steps in as host for Season 21 and joins Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons on the judging panel. As a former cheftestant, Kristen knows what it takes to beat out the competition, so don’t expect her to take it easy on this new batch of cheftestants.

How to Watch

Watch Top Chef on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

For 20 seasons, Top Chef fans have been wowed by elevated dishes and incredible techniques. There's also a fair amount of handy kitchen gadgets and products that fill the Top Chef Kitchen and help makes a masterful meal. Have you ever watched an episode of Top Chef and wished that you could just reach into the T.V. screen and grab what you wanted? Well, if no one wants to go first...Guilty! Who doesn’t love a Vitamix, right? Now you can do just that...sort of. Top Chef fans have the unique and exclusive opportunity to watch Season 21 episodes and shop for the products inspired by those specific episodes. So whether you're seeking a sweet new apron to cook in style or some Spice House seasoning to add the perfect kick to your favorite dish, here’s how you can get in on the fun: 

How can I shop for products inspired by Top Chef Season 21?

Head to Top Chef Bravo Shop each week after a new episode of Top Chef airs. On the site, you’ll find an array of must-have Top Chef-inspired products, like food prep items, aprons, or, yes, a Vitamix. The products inspired by Season 21 come from well-known culinary brands like Viking and Fortune Favors, and will give you the confidence needed to create a breathtaking elimination challenge-worth dish of your own. Fortunately for you, unlike the Top Chef Kitchen, you won’t be eliminated if your dish doesn’t quite cut it. On the other hand, you will have to deal with the critiques of your family and friends.

After longtime host Padma Lakshmi announced her departure from Top Chef in June 2023, Kristen was announced as the host for Season 21. "Top Chef is where I started my journey,” she said at the time. “I’m thrilled to sit alongside Gail and Tom as we get to know new incredible chefs and see what they cook up. It feels like coming home.” In addition to her time on Top Chef, Kristen returned to the series as a guest judge over the years and appeared on Top Chef Duels. "There is something very valuable to having Kristen on our side of the table because she has so much empathy; she’s been there before," Gail told BravoTV.com in 2023.   

In addition, for the first time ever, Top Chef is headed to Wisconsin as its season location. Quickfire and Elimination Challenges will specifically be taking place in Milwaukee and Madison. Expect farm-fresh ingredients and cheese-related challenges (Wisconsin is home to the Cheese Capital of the World, after all). "We are honored to be able to welcome Top Chef to Wisconsin for its upcoming season. We’re proud to be known here for our rich food culture, talented chefs, and exceptional local ingredients,” Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers said in a statement. “I know our diverse culinary traditions will help inspire the participants, captivate viewers, and showcase all of the great things Wisconsin has to offer.” And based on the Season 21 trailer, you can also expect familiar faces stopping by the Judges' Table.
