For its fifteenth season, Top Chef pulled out all the stops. Some of the fundamentals of the famous culinary competition were thus turned upside down. Instead of the usual four brigades, there were only two: the first led by Philippe Etchebest, Paul Pairet and Glenn Viel, then the other with Hélène Darroze as guides, Stephanie Le Quellec and Dominique Crenn. A team of chefs that worked well! But one of them leaves the mystery hanging as to his return at the next edition.
Stéphanie Le Quellec was first a candidate – she even emerged as the big winner of the second season in 2011 – before making her return to Top Chef as a member of the jury in 2024. An experience that worked for her since her candidate Jorick Dorignac was crowned winner of the fifteenth edition. But that does not guarantee a return… On the airwaves of Europe 1, she was questioned on the subject.I actually coached in season 15, my candidate won, so I was actually excited to come back.” she says. And adds about the sequel: “It is possible, perhaps, that a season 16 is taking shape..“Faced with this somewhat mysterious response, the Europe 1 team tried to find out a little more.”That seems like a yes.“, we can hear. But there is no question of the wife of David Le Quellec, also known in the industry, expressing herself further.
Top Chef: Already several changes in the jury!
Let us recall that since the launch of Top Chefviewers have witnessed several changes in the chefs. Jean-François Piège, Ghislaine Arabian, Thierry Marx and Cyril Lignac thus launched the first season of the program. Other figures from the gastronomic world like Michel Sarran have also officiated as brigade chef in the show. For the sixteenth and next season, nothing seems to be signed yet. However, the public is certainly expecting to see the historic Hélène Darroze and Philippe Etchebest again, present since the sixth season. To be continued…
