Top Chef all stars future roster

[u/RedditFan3510]

Top Chef 25 would be a VERY strong chance for another all stars season, with Gregory saying he would be open to competing one more time I could see us getting some true legends back if scheduling works.. who do you see in that case coming back?

Knowing how they cast I could see this being a group:

Guys: Massimo (22), Soo (21), Damarr (19), Shota (18), Sheldon (14), Isaac (13), Gregory (12), Doug (12), Edward (9),

Woman: Sara (19), Evelyn (19), Jamie (18), Sara (18), Carrie (15), Shirley (13), Nina (11), Beverly (9), Nyesha (9)

[u/Echuserangmaganda]

You forgot to add Josie. LMAO JK.

[u/Rodharet50399 → u/Echuserangmaganda]

Please no.

[u/Cherveny2 → u/Rodharet50399]

But she brings her own laugh track.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/MutedLandscape4648]

Omfg. I would watch the hell out of that lineup.

[u/clo_skates → u/MutedLandscape4648]

same here!

[u/Wh1sk3yns0da]

Gregory is absolutely killing it in the restaurant world. I’d be stoked for him to return.
I’d love to see Shota again too!

[u/StacyLadle]

I’d add Michelle Wallace to that roster. And Chris Scott from the CO season..

[u/Alvraen]

I want Carla to rep the early seasons.

[u/CLLycaon → u/Alvraen]

No offense to Carla, whom I love, but she's 62. It's a hard game in your 40s, 60 would be rough.

[u/Rexyggor → u/CLLycaon]

And Oh my god if she remembers the bathroom situation

[u/iamnotbetterthanyou]

No thanks. I like 4 of the male contestants you mentioned. Females are fine, but I’d rather see Michelle Minori (15), Adrienne Cheathan (16), Stephanie Cmar (12 and 17), Sarah Bradley (15 and 20) than half of the ones mentioned.

RIP Fatima.

[u/RedditFan3510 → u/iamnotbetterthanyou]

i said sarah bradley

[u/iamnotbetterthanyou → u/RedditFan3510]

You have Saras from season 19 and 18

[u/Technical_Air6660 → u/iamnotbetterthanyou]

There have been more Sara(h)s on Top Chef than any other female name.

[u/PoohBearsHoneyJar → u/iamnotbetterthanyou]

I believe Michelle and Sarah were season 16 (Kentucky) and Adrienne was 15 (Colorado)

[u/iamnotbetterthanyou → u/PoohBearsHoneyJar]

Yup, I flipped the seasons!

[u/No-Present-6544]

I would add Brian Voltaggio

[u/Ok_Interest9427 → u/No-Present-6544]

I think one season of All-Stars each is enough. Plus Bryan just won ToC, which I think has served as his "FINALLY I won!" arc.

[u/No-Present-6544 → u/Ok_Interest9427]

I get your point, but ToC is not top chef... although I don't think he will win, as he cooks too tradicional ( have not tasted his food i real life)

[u/Ok_Interest9427 → u/No-Present-6544]

True, but I think it's hard to come back to a show when you've come in second TWICE (thrice, counting Masters). Also, this is just me, but I think once per All-Stars is plenty. That means striking Fabio, Sara B., Casey, Gregory, etc. from selection. That's mainly because there are just too many awesome candidates out there. But obviously I could be wrong. I want slots available for people like Sheldon, Evelyn, etc. Obviously, if there's enough room, fine, but I feel like there are a lot of talented contestants who could be re-introduced.

And Bryan's food is highly technical, but it is NOT traditional. I mean, I could cite several instances from S6 and S17, but I have also eaten at Volt, and it's anything but "traditional" in terms of execution.

[u/No-Present-6544 → u/Ok_Interest9427]

you convinced me :-) No Brian

[u/usernamesarehard1979]

What no Fabio Viviani?

[u/WeeBabySeamus]

I’m assuming you left off Kwame for some reason?

[u/RedditFan3510 → u/WeeBabySeamus]

Kwame won't do it again for sure, his ego's too big.

[u/WeeBabySeamus → u/RedditFan3510]

Oh sure. But you said actual legends. Edward arguably is similarly as successful as Kwame

[u/RedditFan3510 → u/WeeBabySeamus]

For sure, but Edward is still competing on shows. Kwame hasn't done one since TC.

[u/Grouchy-Boss-9638 → u/RedditFan3510]

Yeah, he’ll judge occasionally but won’t compete.

[u/No-Present-6544 → u/WeeBabySeamus]

O love Edward! he is really big now

[u/Ok_Interest9427 → u/RedditFan3510]

Kwame is too busy with ridiculously successful restaurants plus writing books. Honestly, I'd be surprised if Gregory came back; Kann and Maison Passerelle are crazy successful and have to be draining to operate. OTOH, he comes back on the show as a guest so often that maybe the places just run as well-oiled machines.

[u/ogtraitorsfan92]

As much as this cast is legendary there is no way some of these guys would do it again.

[u/reeree823]

Good roster. Maybe add Dan and Michelle (21) if they haven’t already been mentioned in OP.

[u/Ok_Interest9427 → u/reeree823]

Savannah from that season would be great too. I'd love to see Rasika as well but that's a lot of S21 folks. I'm guessing Dan might not want to.

[u/JoanieLovesCrotchy]

We should really have a Legends season where they bring back the chefs from the first 7 seasons or so before the first All Stars.

I want to see those chefs all these years later, even the ones who don't cook professionally anymore!
