It’s time to unpack your knives and stay, Charleston-style! The Top Chef Judges Roundtable is back at Reality TV RHAP-Ups! Hosts Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro), Curt Clark (@CurtClark), Josh Wigler (@roundhoward), and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) cover each episode of the Top Chef season, giving their takes on all dishes delicious and disgusting. This season of Top Chef goes down south to Charleston, and brings in a new format by pitting eight new chefs against eight returning players from seasons past. The guys give their takes on the theme, talk about who is sticking out so far among both sides of cheftestants, and reminisce perhaps a little too long on Heroes. They then finish the podcast by doing their traditional “winner take all” draft of the contestants left. Make sure you subscribe to Reality TV RHAP-Ups and the Top Chef feed to hear from the panel weekly throughout the season!
