December 3 - 9, 2017 WHATS UP! T7 BY ANDREW WARREN TV Media U npack those knives and settle in for a sat- isfying meal. Bravo's "Top Chef" is back with a tantalizing 15th season that's taking the culinary compe- tition to new heights — literally. The long-running cooking competition returns Thursday, Dec. 7, with a new group of cheftestants who are all ready to test their culinary mettle against their peers. Unlike, say, Fox's "MasterChef," the competitors here aren't amateurs — far from it. Instead, they're all culinary professionals, some fairly new to the culinary world and others wizened veterans who own their own successful restaurants. Each season of "Top Chef" whisks the competition off to another location where most of the season is set, and this itera- tion is no exception. This year, the judges are trading in last sea- son's sunny coastal city of Charleston, South Carolina, for the crisp mountain air of Colora- do. It isn't just a change in scen- ery, though. The culinary tradi- tions and local ingredients al- ways play a big part of the chal- lenges the cheftestants face, and the Centennial State's altitude could definitely force some of the chefs out of their comfort zones as well. Model and cookbook author Padma Lakshmi returns to host — a role to which she's brought a touch of class since the series' second season. Five-time James Beard Award-winning chef Tom Colicchio is back as head judge, with chefs Gail Simmons, Rich- ard Blais and Graham Elliot also returning to their seats at the judges table.
