‘Top Chef’ season 21 premiere: How to watch, where to stream
The season 21 premiere of Top Chef will kick off on Bravo Wednesday, March 20 at 9/8c.
This season, a new batch of 15 talented, rising star chefs and James Beard nominees from across the country will vie for the coveted title, bringing their unique skillsets, culinary heritage and innovative flavors, according to Bravo.
During the season premiere, Top Chef heads to Wisconsin to meet these new chefs with new rules and new host Kristen Kish.
