087. Top Chef Season 22 Episode 14 Recap - "Finito"

Top Chef gave us Da Vinci and fine dining in Milan… and last season, a cruise ship and some suspicious blue drinks. Chef Savannah Miller is back with me to break down the glow-up from Season 21 to Season 22. We recap the finale of Top Chef Season 22, dish on each chef’s four-course menu, and talk about what went right (and wrong) on the road to the title.

Savannah gets candid about what it’s really like behind the scenes of a Top Chef finale, from the rush between courses to what it feels like walking out food you know isn't perfect. We talk about Tristan’s powerful, unapologetic approach to Afro-Caribbean cuisine, Bailey’s big swing that didn’t quite land, and whether Shuai’s ambrosia salad was brilliant or bonkers.

We also get into:

• What it meant to see Tom, Gail, and Kristen cook for the finalists
• Why choosing your sous chef can make or break you
• The editing tricks that kept us guessing till the end
• And yes... that sad, weird, blue cocktail from last season

🎧 Press play for one last Top Chef Season 22 recap—and make sure you follow, because next week we’re diving into NBC’s new cooking competition Yes, Chef! and it’s already got thoughts.
