The season 4 contestants of Top Chef are Hugh Acheson, Angelo Sosa, Carla Hall, Paul Qui. The season premiere is on January 5th and the finale will be aired on March 29th.
This season features a new twist called “Quickfire Challenge,” in which chefs must create dishes using ingredients that they have never seen before, presented by host Padma Lakshmi. There will also be fewer episodes this season with 13 total instead of 16.
Quickfire Challenge isn’t new but they’re using ingredients from around the world instead of just the US. The season will have a total of 13 episodes instead of 16, which might be for the better because there’s less time to bore audiences with dishes that are too similar or inconsistent in quality.
Judges: Tom Colicchio (head judge), Gail Simmons, Hugh Acheson and Angelo Sosa.
Contestants: Kevin Sbraga, Jennifer Carroll, Jehangir Mehta, Sara Petersen.
Judges and contestants both have been previously featured on the show.
