Table 5 with Lindsay Luttrell – Details, episodes & analysis

Tiffani is a chef, restaurateur and fierce culinary competitor. She's competed on shows like Top Chef, Tournament of Champions and Chopped. We dive deep into fun stories from her childhood and teen years. We talk about the experiences she had from growing up a military brat. We talk about her start in restaurants as a busser,  the setbacks that made her stronger and what she still hopes for in her career. You’ll hear her say she has a reputation for being tough, but I’m excited to share with you this softer side of her, which is the version of her I know best.
