Top Chef US

Top Chef heads to Canada with 15 new chefs. Upon arrival, the chefs draw knives, splitting them into groups of three and head to the Top Chef kitchen where they are greeted by Kristen, Tom and Gail, and their first Quickfire Challenge. The chefs pick an ingredient from the pantry and are tasked with preparing a dish while also incorporating the judges' surprise ingredients.

Actor Sarah Levy joins Kristen and Gail for the Quickfire Challenge, tasking the chefs to put their spin on Canada's famous poutine. For the Elimination Challenge, Daniel Boulud joins the judges' table as the chefs team up to create a maple-soaked brunch that pays homage to Sugar Shack traditions.

In this week's Quickfire Challenge, the chefs must make their own version of a Jamaican patty. Canadian hockey star Natalie Spooner assists Kristen in presenting the Elimination Challenge, where the chefs are put on thin ice and must create dishes best served cold.

Actor Michael Cera joins Kristen in the kitchen for this week's Quickfire Challenge, where the chefs' trivia skills are put to the test. For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs must put their own spin on some of Canada's most iconic confections.

There is no Quickfire Challenge as the chefs are taken by surprise when a Last Chance Kitchen chef joins the competition. After breaking into pairs and spending time at a local restaurant, the chefs are informed that for this Elimination Challenge, they must create a dish inspired by their time on the line.

Top Chef Masters alum Susur Lee and his son Jet Bent-Let join Kristen for the Quickfire Challenge, where the chefs must create a dish using a limited amount of ingredients. For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs must create dishes that highlight pickles. The judges are joined by season 21 winner Danny Garcia and Clare Reichenbach, the James Beard Foundation's Executive Officer.
