Lucky number Season 13 of Top Chef debuts tonight on Bravo with the largest number of DC cheftestants ever. The
California-based episodes will feature Garret Fleming (Barrel), Kwame Onwuachi of the upcoming Shaw Bijou, and Marjorie Meek-Bradley, the toque behind Ripple, Roofer’s Union, and future pastrami palace Smoked & Stacked.
Washington toques have made a strong showing in the past, with repeat visitors like Top Chef All-Stars Mike Isabella, and Kapnos chef George Pagonis, who made it to the final four in season 12. Tune in over two nights at 10/9 central to see how this year’s crew of DC cheftestants fares, and check back with us tomorrow for an update.
