TOP CHEF 2022. Paul Pairet may have regrets! Sending his protege Logan as a last chance “for the win”, he saw one of the candidates of his brigade eliminated in episode 4 of Top chef 2022. The summary and the notes of episode 4.
[Mis à jour le 9 mars 2022 à 23h35] Broadcast this Wednesday, March 9 on M6, episode 4 of Top Chef 2022 once again put the candidates in the face of major challenges. They were only 12 left to qualify for the rest of the competition. They are only 11 left at the end of the episode. But before that, during the first event of the week, it was Alexandre Mazzia who asked them to express themselves in the making of a dessert with unusual combinations (mustard + blueberries, banana + avocado, melon + capers or even bacon + chocolate). The team was contested as a team, brigade by brigade (Elis joined the Orange Brigade after Tania was eliminated last week). And if the different groups first scratched their heads to find out how to design a balanced dish with these ingredients, all seem to have done well.
Keen to show what she was capable of to the boss she chose to leave after he offered her a job, Lucie gave her all during this ordeal but was not always able to calm her emotions. It was Arnaud who took over the brigade. After the ordeal, Lucie went to apologize to the chef for leaving his restaurant “like shit”. At the end of the first round, chef Alexandre Mazzia chose to qualify the blue brigade as Philippe Etchebest directly for the rest of the adventure. We will therefore find Sébastien, Pascal and Mickaël in episode 5 next Wednesday.
The rest of the brigades had to return to the kitchen and face the Spanish chef Andoni Luis Aduriz who asked them to surprise him with a cold-themed dish. Impressed by the international reputation of this chef, the candidates were not, however, discouraged. The chef also said he was very impressed by the level of the competition: “frankly, I was amazed. To make a dish in this register is very difficult, it can take me weeks. There is a general level very high”. In the end, it was Lilian who was named the winner of this second event.
During the last chance test, the leaders of the three brigades still on the ballot chose to nominate one of their candidates. Paul Pairet, confident, selected Logan, trusting him for the victory. He was facing Lucie and Wilfried in a final test offering them to imagine a dish with salty red fruits. If none was unworthy, Logan’s dish is the one that has been criticized the most. The young Belgian candidate claims to have failed to contain his anger well at having been sent a second time as a last chance. Logan is eliminated from Top Chef 2022 at the end of episode 4.

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. On his side, Michel Sarran, emblematic juror of Top Chef, announced that he would not return to the show in 2022 by decision of the production. It is replaced by Glenn Vielwho appeared several times on the M6 show as a guest conductor.
During a press conference presenting the new season of Top Chef, we were able to discover the role that Glenn Viel will play this year. The chef of the Oustau restaurant in Baumanière (Baux-de-Provence) will coach the orange brigade. “He has every intention of blowing it all up, commented Stéphane Rotenberg. He arrived with energy and the will to do very hard”. Glenn Viel explains that he did not specifically ask to join the jury of Top Chef 2022, he was contacted by the production. “Of course, I jumped at the chance, he recalls. It’s a competition that is well perceived, well seen, with the greatest chefs in the world who come to participate. I was welcomed with a lot of benevolence and kindness.”
Top Chef viewers discovered a new juror during the 2022 season. If Philippe Etchebest, Hélène Darroze and Paul Pairet are still present, Michel Sarran has been removed from the program. The latter evokes a choice of production, without knowing the reasons: “It was a little violent, remembers the chef from Toulouse in an interview with Parisian, last September. I did not expect it at all. Why me What prompted their decision? What did I do wrong? I didn’t get an answer.” He is replaced by Glenn Viel who, according to information from Télé Loisirs, did not fail to contact his predecessor before filming, for correction.
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.
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 was part of Hélène Darroze’s squad.
