Draw Knives : A Top Chef Recap Podcast

Our hosts are joined by @carly.sue.bear to recap the final episode of the season. Our three finalists cook the 4 course meal that will define their fate on Top Chef all while trying to impress a prestigious judging panel including culinary icon Emeril Lagasse. Who will Kristen Kish announce as the winner of Season 21? Listen to the recap to find out!

What do an Iron Chef, lionfish and gouda all have in common? They all make appearances in this recap! In the penultimate episode of the season, one chef finally wins a Quickfire and some cash, while the Elimination Challenge has the chefs creating a multi-course menu together with very mixed results. The first half of the finale starts now!

Last episode in Wisconsin! We discover one chef tongue scrapes (and maybe it's an advantage?!) and another chef continues their dominance. The time away from home is getting to some of these chefs. Who will go home this week and stay there? And who will end up going to the finale! Tune in to find out!

This week's ep is a doozy. The LCK winner returns. The chefs have 24 questions to ask Tom about a dish he made for Kristen and Gail for the Quickfire. The Elimination challenge has the chefs plating their entire dish on a table for the judges to eat directly off of. A season favorite ends up packing their knives for a bad table of food, but they remain in our podcast hosts' hearts forever.

This week the chefs enjoyed two of Wisconsin's food traditions: meat raffles and fish boils. And if that wasn't enough, they had to do the latter with Art Smith and former Top Chef contestants among the judges. One competitor cuts themselves, while another gets sent home for an uncharacteristically unfocused dish. And then our hosts recap the two part LCK finale and reveal the winner.

Mega episode alert! This week our hosts invite brilliant Top Chef data nerd @carly.sue.bear to help recap this week's episode! Carly reveals her Mount Rushmore of Top Chefs before diving into this exciting episode featuring gorgeous native ingredients. Corn smut, anyone?

Oh boy. The most anticipated episode of every Top Chef season is upon us: Restaurant Wars. Our hosts break down what went wrong in this episode and recap the wildest LCK episode yet. Buckle up! Our hosts have some thoughts!

A high reward two part Quickfire awaits our chefs in the Top Chef kitchen this week, along with three time runner-up chef Bryan Voltaggio. The Elimination challenge features a lot of sausage and eliminates a chef for committing a cardinal gaffe: cooking risotto. LCK finds one early favorite in the competition eliminated for a tactical misfire. This episode is fully loaded! 

Dessert and chaos dominate this episode of Top Chef. Guest judges Christina Tosi and Matty Matheson inspire the contestants this week, while an early favorite gets sent packing.

Unusual sauces and a supper club challenge are at the heart of this Top Chef episode. Another team challenge shows one chef to have high emotional intelligence, while another chef gaining a reputation for selfish behavior. This season is heating up!
