Live
20:23 – Yann Couvreur as an ephemeral juror this evening
It is chef Yann Couvreur who will judge the candidates on the white box test this evening. On the occasion of this flash passage in Top Chef, the famous pastry chef confided in this experience as a judge with Le Figaro: “I wanted to mark my “Top Chef” event with something that looks like me. It was something completely new for me and very fun and playful. There were some good surprises.” Asked whether he would see himself as a full-time juror of the show, Yann Couvreur indicated that he was rather tempted by “The best pastry chef” and that he had even passed the casting to be a juror: “I think that at the time, I didn’t have the profile they were looking for at all. I imagine that this show will evolve and maybe there will be a place to take? We will see if there is an opportunity or not. »
19:59 – What is the white box, new test of the competition?
Tonight, 6 candidates still in the running will have to pass the white box test. This new test ranks a notch above the black box where candidates had to reproduce a blind dish. The white box appeals to the 5 senses since the guest chef, in this case Yann Couvreur, will eliminate the dish that he liked the least olfactorily speaking, another that did not seduce him by the sound made by cutting, a another whose aspect will not suit him and finally, a last one after analysis of the textures. It is therefore a mountain of criteria that the chefs will have to take into account to make their dessert tonight!
19:29 – Special evenings organized by Bistrot Top Chef
Do you want to taste the cuisine of one of the candidates from season 14 of Top Chef? The Bistrot Top Chef, which is located in Suresnes in the Paris region, will offer every Wednesday evening to taste a starter/main course/dessert formula from one of the participants of the season. Danny Khezzar, currently competing in the hidden brigade, will be the first to offer his menu at 39.99 euros from April 5, 2023. It is also possible to follow the show during its live broadcast on M6 from the restaurant, while enjoying the menu. The two finalists will also be present on the last evening to offer a special menu. It is possible to book from March 24, 2023.
19:05 – JoeyStarr in Top Chef tonight
The Top Chef qualification test will ask candidates to revisit a guilty pleasure of the French in a gastronomic way. For the occasion, the 12 participants in the running will be judged by François-Régis Gaudry. The latter will also be accompanied by well-known personalities from the small screen: comedians Pablo Mira and Nora Hamzawi as well as singer and actor JoeyStarr.
6:32 p.m. – What events are on the Top Chef program tonight?
As has been the case since the launch of season 14 of Top Chef, two events will punctuate episode 4 tonight: the qualifying event will ask the candidates in the running to revisit, in a gastronomic way, a guilty pleasure of the French. During the second round, eliminatory this time, they will have to make a “perfect dessert”, which calls on the five senses. For this, they will discover the white box, little sister of the famous black box, in which the five senses will be exacerbated.
18:03 – Who is still in the running in Hélène Darroze’s Hidden Brigade?
In parallel with the Top Chef competition, a secret competition entitled “The hidden brigade” takes place. Last week, Gaston, last eliminated, faced Danny there. However, the ex-candidate of Philippe Etchebest beat him and keeps his place in this parallel contest. The cook-rapper therefore retains a chance of integrating the quarter-finals in the red brigade, and will face this evening the candidate who will be eliminated at the end of episode 4.
17:31 – Which candidates are still in competition in Top Chef?
They are still twelve candidates competing in Top Chef at the start of episode 4, broadcast this Wednesday March 22 on M6. Philippe Etchebest’s brigade is made up of Albane, Carla, Sarika and Hugo. In the team of Glenn Viel, there are still Jérémie, Mathieu, Alexandre and César. Paul Pairet’s purple brigade is finally made up of Victor, Léo, Jean and Jacques.

Since the creation of Top Chef, the show’s jury has evolved from season to season, with some chefs leaving the show to be replaced by new names from the French culinary scene. In 2023, the jurors of the previous season are back. Philippe Etchebest, Hélène Darroze, Paul Pairet and Glenn Viel return. Note, however, that Hélène Darroze has a very special role. There is no red brigade this year, but a secret parallel contest that will save a candidate for the quarter-finals.
Louise Bourrat is the latest winner of Top Chef. Hélène Darroze’s candidate faced Arnaud Delvenne in the final on M6 on June 15, 2022. She won the hearts of the jury and Red Cross volunteers with 56.19% of the vote against the Belgian competitor who, he collected 43.81% of the vote. Thanks to her victory, Louise from Top Chef won a check for 56,190 euros, which she intended to invest in her establishment. The 26-year-old candidate at the time of her participation is the chef of her own restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal.
