Season 2

Top Chef Masters is back for Season 2. Once again the judges' table are turned, and viewers see what happens when world-renowned chefs compete against each other in a series of weekly challenges and revert back to basics.

Only one chef will make it to the finals to compete for the title of "Top Chef Master" and a prize for the charity of their choice.

Food journalist Kelly Choi returns as series' host, alongside renowned restaurant critic Gael Greene, culinary expert James Oseland and food critic Jay Rayner who are all back on the Critics' Table.

Top Chef series judge Gail Simmons also serves as a judge this season on Top Chef Masters.

Each episode of Top Chef Masters holds two challenges for the chefs. The first is a Quickfire Challenge which tests their basic abilities. Each quickfire challenge is judged by a blind taste test and a five-star system, similar to fine dining reviews.

The second challenge is a more involved Elimination Challenge designed to test the versatility and invention of the chefs as they take on unique culinary trials such as working with unusual and exotic foods or catering for demanding clients.

The food is tasted and evaluated by the judges and a wide range of tasters for whom the challenge is aimed, whether it is patrons at a five-star restaurant or a room full of hungry kids – the food has to appeal to the diner as well as the critics if the chef is to survive.

Top Chef Masters is produced by Magical Elves for Bravo, with Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz serving as executive producers.
