'Top Chef' Alum Return ... But Why?

Stefan, CJ and Josie are back, but for how long?

By Mike Hess


Well, hello, old friends!

As you can see from the above photo, Top Chef alum Stefan Richter, Josie Malave and CJ Jacobsen will be back on tonight's episode. Padma's got a big old smile on her face introducing them to the current cheftestants -- but why?

Let's just say that there's a twist you've never seen before in Top Chef history, and that Stefan's cockiness has only grown since his time on the show where he just barely lost out on the TC title. Oh, and someone says he looks like a thumb -- but we digress. The twist is sure to shake things up in the Top Chef world, and you'll just have to tune in tonight to see what it's all about.

Pour yourself something nice, grab a tasty snack (salty > sweet) and tune in at 10p EST.
