| S23 Ep 8: Restaurant Wars | 29 Apr 2026 | 01:22:33 | |
A loaded recap episode this week tackles all the happenings on Top Chef’s iconic Restaurant Wars episode with a special boots-on-the-ground report from Tom, who attended as a takeout guest.
Sara and Tom break it all down and rehash Sara’s Restaurant Wars history and whether she’d prefer to be dine-in or takeout. Sara disagrees with the choice of which chef went home while Tom questions the kitchen jobs of the Tierra Reina team. Is a welcome drink a waste of time? Did immunity save a certain chef? Is a Bloomin’ Onion the worst takeout food of all-time?
We also had a Last Chance Kitchen finale to recap. We welcome back the LCK winner and look forward to the show’s next stop in the Carolinas.

After Top Chef welcomes back an eliminated contestant from Last Chance Kitchen, Kevin and Tom dive into Episode 6's drama -- or lack thereof. The competition show brings in trailblazing women to honor trailblazing women and the chefs deliver satisfactory meals, but hardly anything transcendent. With the help of producer Anthony Mayes, Tom and Kevin try to untangle their feelings about this season of their beloved Top Chef and wonder if its recent softness is a symptom of a broader cultural shift.
