“Top Chef: Seattle,” the tenth season of the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning series, premieres Wednesday, November 7 at 10 pm ET/PT. Famed chef and restaurant mogul Wolfgang Puck joins as a judge this season, alongside Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Hugh Acheson and Emeril Lagasse, with Padma Lakshmi returning as host. This season the competition goes back to the basics, as the 21 contestants compete in weekly challenges that test their mastery of a chef’s essential skills. The winner will receive $125,000, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, a showcase at the Annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and will earn the title of “Top Chef.”
