What's Cookin'?

Each season on Top Chef Padma Lakshmi sees seventeen contestants through a series of Quickfire and Elimination Challenges which involve quick, on your feet, creations of dishes. The contestants have to do everything from cooking relay races to Restaurant Wars. Judges, including Tom Colicchio, get to sample all the creations and evaluated the dishes. One contestant gets sent home each week and in the end there is only one "Top Chef."

Airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 10PM ET
