TOP CHEF 2022. Top Chef will soon be back for its 2022 season. Several new features have already been announced, including guest chefs.
[Mis à jour le 17 janvier 2021 à 14h43] The broadcast date for the next season of Top Chef has not yet been announced, but fans should find the culinary competition soon on M6. Each year, the cooking show returns to the sixth channel from February, for a final scheduled for June. Still a little patience for the fans who yearn to find the culinary show presented by Stéphane Rotenberg!
The big change in season 13 of Top Chef comes in the jury. M6 has decided to renew the team by replacing Michel Sarran by Glenn Viel, juror seen as a guest chef on several occasions in the culinary competition. He will coach the orange team: “I obviously jumped at the chance. We had a lot of fun discovering these young talents who show that French gastronomy still has a bright future ahead of it”. Philippe Etchebest, Hélène Darroze and Paul Pairet will be back as jurors in 2022.
During a press conference in January 2022, Stéphane Rotenberg sketched the outlines of the next season of Top Chef. He sums it up in these words: “a new promotion surprising in character on the one hand, and a pantheon of great chefs on the other”. Among the guest chefs already announced for this 2022 edition, let us mention Alexandre Gauthier, elected chef of the year 2016, Clare Smyth, the first woman to win three stars in the United Kingdom, Dominique Crenn, the first three Michelin star chef in the United States. United, or even Pia Leon, elected best chef in the world in 2021.
Among the events of Top Chef 2022, viewers will be able to find great classics, such as La Boîte Noire or La Guerre des Restos. New events will also be presented to the faithful of the program: they will have to commit to a cause through a shocking visual, or even imagine a living dessert. Season 13 of Top Chef promises many surprises.
On June 9, 2021, the last season of Top Chef ended with the coronation of Mohamed Cheikh, candidate for Hélène Darroze’s brigade, against Sarah Mainguy. The 2022 edition has been preparing since. For the time being, we do not know the date of Top Chef 2022, nor the composition of the jury. If we are to believe last year’s schedule, and if production goes like that of previous seasons, Top Chef could be back on M6 at the beginning of 2022, during the month of February, for a final broadcast at the beginning of June. However, we will have to wait for the official confirmation of the broadcast date to know exactly when Top Chef will return to the screens in 2022.
Fifteen candidates have been selected to compete in season 13 of Top Chef. Among them, there are notably 12 men, three women, including 3 Belgians. Some were highlighted during a press conference organized in January 2022. This is the case of Louise, chef of her own restaurant; Thibault Spiwack, chef of the Anona restaurant in Paris, which stands out for its eco-responsible cuisine, Sébastien Renard, chef in Hauts-de-France; Elis Bond, who won the title of young talent by Gault et Millau (2019); Lilian, manager of a supermarket who was unable to open her own restaurant due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Top Chef 2022 candidates will all be announced soon, as will the broadcast date.
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. For the 2022 season, Philippe Etchebest (blue brigade), Hélène Darroze (red brigade) and Paul Pairet (purple brigade) are returning to the jury. For his part, Michel Sarran, emblematic juror of Top Chef, announced that he would not return to the show in 2022. He is replaced by Glenn Viel, who has appeared several times on the M6 show as guest chef. .
On June 9, 2021, Mohamed Cheikh became the winner of season 12 of Top Chef. The candidate, who did the whole competition under the advice of Hélène Darroze, faced Sarah, from Paul Pairet’s brigade, during this final. He won 54.86% of the vote, against 45.14% for Sarah, which gives him a gain of 54,860 euros. Aged 28, this young chef has never hidden that he comes from a popular suburb of the Paris region (Fontenay-sous-Bois), and that he had to struggle to find a place for himself in the middle. . He has notably worked with several starred chefs, such as Eric Fréchon. He has also worked in prestigious restaurants, such as the Royal Monceau or the Shangri-La. Since the start of the competition, Mohamed has been part of Hélène Darroze’s squad.
