It’s a Pack Your Knives’ tradition like no other: The annual Top Chef fantasy draft. 

Team Tom has deployed its scouting and data analytics departments to scour the field of cheftestants for the sure bets and hidden gems.

Since Kevin got a glimpse of the field of remaining chefs at a mid-season challenge, Pack Your Knives’ Chef’s Table founding members aggregated their draft boards and chose on Team Kevin’s behalf.

As always, producer Anthony Mayes is at the podium for the proceedings.

Brew City wastes no time throwing its first beer-focused challenge at the Season 21 field.

Nobody seems excited about cooking with hops in the Quickfire challenge, but the chefs who go sweet win favor with guest judge, Top Chef champion, and Friend of PYK, Joe Flamm.

The chefs then split into teams to prepare a progressive dinner in the historic Miller Caves of dishes inspired by salty bar snacks — which Tom and Kevin rank.

The team with more fine-dining, tweezer-head chefs struggles against their opponents, whose sensibilities are more rustic.

Tom takes issue with the judges’ final verdict, while Kevin celebrates the winning chef’s bold risk.

The Kristen Kish Era of Top Chef has arrived! Top Chef Season 21 is here, and Tom and Kevin like the new look.

This 'inverted' premiere episode has immunity up for grabs in the Elimination Challenge at the beginning, while a Quickfire cook-off has the loser packing their knives.

Tom digs the 5-chef divisional battles, each with their own judges' table. Kevin believes that soup is a 'high-floor, low-ceiling' challenge, while a stuffed pasta challenge is designed to kick a chef's ass.

Tom and Kevin agree that Michelle Wallace has serious potential as both Top Chef and fan favorite, winning an 'away game' with her lobster ravioli.
