Padma, Tom, and Gail go to London for a World All-Stars edition. Contestants from the US show, including season 19 winner Buddha Lo, will compete against winners and finalists from Brazil, Thailand, Germany, Canada, and other countries.

Starts Thursday, March 9 on Bravo.

Sounds interesting.

Seen every season, can't wait.

Buddha absolutely ran away with last season, will be interesting to see the competition this year

Loved the show.

Just can’t watch with smug no talent woman as the host.

Great show, but I can't stand that chick either.

I don’t care for Padma at times but Gail Simmons is an angel.

Told this story on here before but my wife and I were at an event with her where she was at our table (not on the show). She is unbelievably beautiful and kind in person. Gave me a hug when she left long enough to make my wife jealous.

what really? of all the reality show hosts she is probably one of the more knowledgeable of the thing she is hosting and is fairly down to earth.

I had the honor of pouring a drink for her at Austin Food + Wine several years ago.

She is a lovely, gracious woman, and even more beautiful in person. I always liked her, but she has been my woman crush ever since.

As for Season 20, I'm still salty about them bringing Dawn back over Shota. She gets on my nerves, and I hate that she slid through to the finals on her season when she couldn't even put a complete plate together.

I actually liked Sara Bradley on her season, so I'm glad to see her back. Amar is very talented, and of course Buddha is a stud, so interested to see how far they get.

Still getting a feel for the international cheftestants, but it's clear they are a very talented group.
I'm looking forward to seeing how they adapt to the format, since the US version is different.

Chabral impressed me in the elimination challenge, I love onions so I would have gobbled up his dish.

I wish we could see more of shota too, but Dawn was putting together some outstanding dishes the second half of her season... For the ones she could plate

I love how Food Network is going so heavy in to former Top Chef contestants on all of their shows (as contestants, judges and hosts)

That sums it up for me. She piggybacks on Tom and Gail's knowledge and she's got a strange, tryhard smug persona. But my wife likes her. Maybe it's only something men pick up on.

I like DDD, but goodness he is over exposed. His kid is bad, it has to be part of Guy's contract no way he test well.

They’re trying to push the kid into stardom but he doesn’t have it. And I’m sure those chefs that are forced to interact with him loathe that they have to kiss his arse

I doubt this. His dad is highly respected by chefs (why so many high level ones work with all of his projects), so I imagine they've grown up with the son

As cheesy as he may seem, by all accounts, Guy Fieri is a great guy. He raised a ton of money for service industry workers during the pandemic, and those who work for and with him really respect him.

I like Guy, but I also like Padma

I do too, but when he's forced into his schtick he is annoying. I really enjoyed his ranch kitchen show.

It really says something about the popularity of Guy considering this is a top chef discussion and he was never on that show.
I like guy
I like Tom
I like Padma ( • )( • )
I like Gail.

I even like the Italian chic that gets invited on when the finale starts.
