What do these top chefs have in common? (background is risotto). Pictures of five chefs: Lee Anne Wong, Howie Kleinberg, Tre Wilcox, Manny Barella, and Bailey Sullivan.
They made risotto multiple times on Top Chef (background is risotto). Here's how they did: Lee Anne Wong Season 1: Low (for a risotto paella cake), Eliminated. Howie Kleinberg Season 3: Low, Safe. Tre Wilcox Season 3: Win, Safe (risotto cake). Tre Wilcox Season 8: Eliminated. Manny Barella Season 21: Safe (esquites risotto), Low. Bailey Sullivan Season 22: Safe, Safe. Read (for free!) the full details of the risotto curse on packyourknives.com (or link in bio).
Last week's #TopChef ep showed the chefs making risotto. I've got a post on the risotto curse on #PackYourKnives. Here's some fun trivia before you head to packyourknives.com!

Will there be a chance for Tristen or the other chefs to crack the top 10 earners?

True true. I do think Mary would respect strategic play, given her confessionals after talking to Joe. But yeah, 3/8 is a scary position.
Are we about to lose a front runner on #topchef tonight?

I feel like only Eva, David and Joe are going to be voting based on honor. Shauhin and Kyle have it in them to make more cut throat moves ...it feels like Joe and Eva have a strong hold on people, even if they're only going to be a couple of the jury votes (assuming they're on jury)
Is Top Chef a young person's game?

Infographic of the rankings of Top Chef contestants four elimination challenges and four quickfires into Season 22. From 1st to 12th: Katianna, Shuai, Tristen, Vinny, Corwin, Cesar, Lana, Kat, Massimo and Paula (tied), Henry, and Bailey. How were the most recent winners ranked at this stage of their seasons? Buddha in Season 19 was ranked 3rd and in Season 20 was ranked 2nd; Danny in Season 21 was ranked 5th. Don't miss out: packyourknives.com has more! Who was ranked 1st in past seasons, four quickfires and four eliminations in? How was the winner of S18 doing? How do the scores of season 22 compare to past seasons? Methodology on next page.
Methodology: Chefs receive points based on their performance in challenges. To compare between seasons, the scores are calculated keeping constant the number of quickfire and the number of elimination challenges. In this case, four of each. Elimination win = 7 pts Quickfire win = 4 pts Elimination high = 3 pts Quickfire high = 2 pts Quickfire low = -2 pts Elimination low = -3 pts Elimination out = -7 pts. Sudden Death Quickfires & Quickfire Eliminations are considered Elimination challenges. Qualifying challenges and Last Chance Kitchen challenges are not included. The points are the same for individual as team challenges.
These were the rankings heading into the double elimination of this week's #TopChef episode. Would you rank the chefs differently? What point system do you use in your fantasy league?

#JamesBeard award nominees were just released, and it made me wonder - have we seen a change over time in the number of Top Chef contestants w/ this accolade?
