Knives have been sharpened, white jackets have been embroidered and fires are lit: returns for a seventh season, and the new class of 鈥渃heftestants鈥� has been revealed.
This season, Top Chef Canada features an impressive roster of talented 麻豆传媒映画and B.C. chefs among the 11 initial competitors (in a new twist for this season, three chefs will compete separately to earn the 12th spot).
Representing Canada鈥檚 westernmost province are Paul Moran of Tofino Resort + Marina, Dennis Peckham of Metro Vancouver鈥檚 Fraiche Sheet Foods, Phillip Scarfone of Nightingale in Vancouver, and Max Straczek of Fable in Vancouver. That鈥檚 one third of the field representing B.C. 鈥� those are some great odds!
On the other side of the table are the hosts and judges, and the panel remains the same as last year. Host Eden Grinshpan is joined by head judge Mark McEwan, and resident judges Chris Nuttall-Smith, Janet Zuccarini and Vancouver鈥檚 Mijune Pak.
This season the cheftestants will be 鈥渓ighting up the kitchen with some incredibly competitive challenges and cooks for panels of world-renowned chefs, all in a bid to win this year鈥檚 grand prize: a $100,000 cash prize from INTERAC, a design-inspired Caf茅 kitchen, a culinary tour of Italy for two from Air Transat, and $5,000 worth of Cuisinart products,鈥� according to Food Network Canada.
The talented field of competitors vying for the coveted title of 鈥淭op Chef Canada鈥� include chefs from all areas of the culinary field, from secret supper clubs to food delivery services, and even some who have worked for past TC Canada contestants.
