The series will begin production this month in London, with host Padma Lakshmi, head judge Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons. The 20th season is slated to premiere in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>This special anniversary season marks the first time that the flagship edition of <em>Top Chef<\/em>, which now has 29 international versions, will shoot an entire season abroad. From traditional pub food to modern Indian cuisines, the chefs will be cooking with the best ingredients the U.K. has to offer as they cook their way through globally inspired quickfire and elimination challenges. Throughout the competition, Lakshmi, Colicchio and Simmons will be joined by judges from the international versions, as well as global culinary experts.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Flynn, senior VP of current production at NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve always wanted to do a season of <em>Top Chef<\/em> with winners, finalists and frontrunners, but to take that concept for the 20th season one step further with cheftestants from localized versions across the world has been a dream come true. And what better place to host World All-Stars than London, a global stomping ground and renowned food city, offering our cheftestants access to the U.K.\u2019s exceptional ingredients and international flavors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Victoria Prentis, food minister for the U.K. Government, added: \u201cI\u2019m pleased that <em>Top Chef<\/em> has chosen London for its first-ever season outside of the U.S. We\u2019re rightly proud of our exceptional food and drink produced here in the U.K. From Scottish salmon\u202fand\u202fWelsh lamb to\u202fNorthern Irish beef and English sparkling wine, our food and drink is recognized at home and abroad for its great taste and high quality. As the U.K.\u2019s largest manufacturing sector, the passion, traditions and expertise of our food and drink industry make the U.K. a fantastic choice for the culinary competition series.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bravo\u2019s Top Chef, produced by Magical Elves, is slated to film a special World All-Stars 20th season in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":9130,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1368,2584,815],"class_list":["post-9129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bravo","tag-magical-elves","tag-top-chef","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Top Chef Heads to London for Special World All-Stars Season - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Top Chef Heads to London for Special World All-Stars Season - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bravo\u2019s Top Chef, produced by Magical Elves, is slated to film a special World All-Stars 20th season in London.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-02T14:55:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-02T16:59:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/Top-Chef-Bravo-0822.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/\",\"name\":\"Top Chef Heads to London for Special World All-Stars Season - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-02T14:55:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-02T16:59:00+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/top-chef-heads-to-london-for-special-world-all-stars-season\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Top Chef Heads to London for Special World All-Stars Season\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
