Here's a nice skewer! In the stands of the Parc des Princes, four seats were awarded this Wednesday, November 6, to the “Top Chef” jurors. If the Champions League is in full swing, so is filming for the sixteenth season of the cooking show. Since October 14, the “M6” chefs have been back behind their plates to judge the new candidates.
Coming to support PSG (or Atlético Madrid, who knows?), Philippe Etchebest appeared with his famous newsboy cap alongside chef Paul Pairet and chefs Stéphanie Le Quellec and Hélène Darroze. The only thing missing was Glenn Viel, the chef of the Oustau de Baumanière restaurant in Les Baux-de-Provence.

For this new season, the casting of the jury has been slightly modified by production. The “ancestors” of the program, Philippe Etchebest and Hélène Darroze will return for the eleventh consecutive year. Now accustomed to “Top Chef” aprons, Paul Pairet is preparing to sign his sixth season and Glenn Viel, his fourth.

Stéphanie stays, Dominique leaves
For the fifteenth season of “Top Chef”, Dominique Crenn was part of the jury, his first participation in the show. But this year, Dominique Crenn will not be a member of the jury for the new season of Top Chef. It is on the poster of a completely different cooking show that she will distinguish herself: “The Best Chef”, a competition ranking the 100 best chefs in the world. For her part, Stéphanie Le Quellec happily agreed to join the “Top Chef” jury for the second time.
Last June, Dominique Crenn and Maria Bello said “yes” to each other in Mexico. Since then, the chef has enjoyed happy days in San Francisco, at the head of her restaurant Atelier Crenn. To this day, she is the first female chef to have won three Michelin stars in the United States.

In the columns of “Parisien”, she confided on this subject: “I never hid, during the broadcast, that I had taken great pleasure and that, without going out of my way, I would be delighted to return. When the broadcast was over, the production asked me if I wanted to do another season, I said yes, it happened naturally”
