Wilfried eliminated summary and notes of episode 8

TOP CHEF 2022. The competition resumed in Top Chef this Wednesday, April 6, 2022, with a new elimination and a recomposition of the brigades. The recap.

[Mis à jour le 6 avril 2022 à 23h35] After the war of restaurants last week, the competition resumed in Top Chef this Wednesday, April 6, 2022. Each event competes individually on an event, and the loser of each finds himself in last chance. The first challenge launched by the leaders of Disfrutar sees Wilfried, Lucie, Mickaël and Sébastien compete. They must carry out an original cooking of a fruit which will be at the base of their dish. Lucie imagines cooking an avocado, which is particularly energy-intensive to produce, in compost to convey an ecological message. Despite her strong proposal, the candidate panics and loses her means. However, it can count on the support of Glenn Viel to swallow back her tears and finish her preparation. And with success, since it obtains the first place in the ranking and a favorite of the chefs. Mickaël and Sébastien also qualify, while Wilfried is sent as a last chance.

The second test of Top Chef episode 8 saw the return of a favorite chef of viewers. Pierre Gagnaire came to challenge Arnaud, Lilian, Thibaut, Louise and Pascal on the theme of salty meringue. Thibaut is particularly inspired, unlike Louise. For his part, Arnaud is particularly intimidated by the presence of the chef elected the greatest starred chef in the world in 2015. The candidate loses his means in front of him and does not fail to stutter so much he admires him, giving rise to comical situations. The candidate did not have to worry since he qualified, behind Thibault and Pascal and ahead of Lilian. Conversely, Louise is sent as a last chance against Wilfried.

The two candidates from Hélène Darroze’s brigade compete over a bite, on the theme of turkey breast. This last chance of Top Chef is particularly difficult for the candidates who have gone through the eight weeks of competition together and have come together like “a brother and a sister”. Finally, Hélène Darroze’s sentence is irrevocable: Wilfried is eliminated and leaves Top Chef. Following this episode 8, the composition of the brigades has been changed so that there are two candidates per brigade. Sébastien joins Paul Pairet’s brigade alongside Lilian, while Philippe Etchebest chose to keep Mickaël and Pascal under his wing. Arnaud and Lucie represent Glenn Viel’s brigade and Louise and Thibaut defend the colors of Hélène Darroze. Vote for your top contestant from this episode below.

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. He is replaced by Glenn Viel, who has appeared several times on the M6 ​​show as 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.
