This week, Bravo announced its next culinary competition “Top Chef Amateurs.” The TV series will be hosted by Top Chef Judge Gail Simmons and as the title suggests, the show focuses on a new type of talent: home cooks.
While the newcomers sharpen their knives and get their bearings in the Top Chef kitchen, old friends and winners from the Top Chef family are scheduled to return, including Italian-American Chef Joe Flamm, who won Season 15.
“Can’t wait to make some new friends, see some old ones, and cause enough problems to never be invited back,” he wrote on Instagram. Chef Flamm, formerly of Chicago’s Spiaggia Italian Restaurant, is expected to open his own Croatian-Italian restaurant next year.
Before the program rolls out in 2021, Bravo and Top Chef Winners have asked fans to weigh in on their favorite cooking-themed challenge: Seven Deadly Sins or Aphrodisiac recipes.
