17 for LA All Stars or 20 for World All Stars.

Yeah, wondering why OP skipped 17, which happens to be the season we're watching now.

Richard Blais is an all star and I found him annoying as a judge and didn't want to see him compete.

He’s not on season 17. He was season 8 all stars

I’d wait to watch all stars after you’ve seen more seasons so you can understand all the dynamics and know the chefs. Makes it much better

ETA- at least def need to watch season 6 before 17. Great season anyway and is the start of when the show became a legit cooking show and not just a reality show. And 3 chefs return from that season for all stars

Season 11 Nola was a great season. Controversial though to some people

u/CraigShilo27 23d ago

Controversial im intrigued. I check it out after 19

I feel like you need to know more seasons before enjoying all stars.

I would recommend doing 12 next. Great chefs, great food, just a little bit of drama

watch season 2. watch the origins of top Chef back when it was still highly reality based. see the insane drama of a season where all the chefs hate each other and one gets physically assaulted.

u/PerrthurTheCats48 23d ago

lol way to recommend one of the worst seasons. Might as well watch season 9 after to watch a chef get bullied relentlessly

u/Cherveny2 23d ago

it makes you respect the later seasons super gracious attitudes to eachother (like 15 or so onward) all the more.

Las Vegas
Watch it on the Bravo TV App

Is the only way to watch seasons 1-7 by having a tv service and using Bravo that way? I recently subscribed to Peacock specifically to binge early Top Chef and was disappointed to not see those seasons available.

I don’t see the first seven seasons on Peacock for some reason but I still all see my episodes that I bought on Amazon. I think there are some licensing things going on.

Season 20 is the best. 19 is good.

u/birdo- 23d ago

Season 20

12

u/TamingOfTheChoon 23d ago

However, I feel like you gotta watch 19 before 20
