The ‘Top Chef’ finale in Mexico isn’t until January 28, 2015, but ‘Top Chef: Last Chance Kitchen’ returns on December 10.
‘Last Chance Kitchen’ is the show’s digital series that pits chefs eliminated from the show against each other for the chance to return in January. This year’s prize for winning ‘Top Chef’ is $125,000 from Healthy Choice, a feature in FOOD & WINE magazine, and a showcase at the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen.
Historically, fan-favorite reality show contestants would have to wait until reunion episodes or seasons to make a return, but Bravo has solved this problem by giving them a chance to re-enter the show in season. ‘Last Chance Kitchen’ would likely do well if aired on linear TV, but Bravo has the opportunity to drive viewers to bravotv.com to watch the digital-only series, which is hosted by Tom Colicchio.
The series can be seen on desktop, mobile, and tablet, as well as iTunes, Amazon, VOD, Google Play, connected TVs, Xbox and Hulu.
