Top Chef Amateurs is an American reality competition series which premiered on July 1, 2021, on Bravo.[1] It is a spin-off of the Top Chef television series, featuring home cooks instead of professional chefs.[2] In each episode, two home cooks compete head-to-head in challenges drawn from previous seasons of Top Chef.[2] Each amateur is paired with a past Top Chef contestant, who acts as an advisor and sous chef.[3] The series is hosted by Gail Simmons, who also serves as head judge.[3] The winner of each episode receives US$5,000.[3]
Production of Top Chef Amateurs began in October 2020 in Portland, Oregon, following filming for Top Chef: Portland.[2] The show was filmed under the same COVID-19 guidelines, utilizing the same kitchen set established at the Portland Expo Center.[3][4] The competitors were flown to Portland from across the United States, quarantined in their hotel rooms for several days, and tested several times for the coronavirus.[4] Similar to Portland, Amateurs features Top Chef alumni as guest judges, who rotate between cooking with the contestants and judging alongside Simmons.[3]
