Tom Colicchio

Last Chance Kitchen takes Top Chef and strips it down. Ousted chefs from Top Chef compete head to head for the chance to, not only redeem themselves, but to possibly return to Top Chef, and win. In each episode, two or more chefs are pitted against each other in a single challenge, with judgment placed solely on Tom Collicchio.

Fifteen of the top up-and-coming chefs around the country have been asked to show off their culinary skills as they vie for the top prize, the title of Top Chef.
