TOP CHEF 2022. This evening, the Top Chef nominee is walking side by side with the M6 Cooking Show’s famous Black Box. Remind me of the rules before an important exam.
[Mis à jour le 27 avril 2022 à 18h] Tonight, M6 is airing the eleventh episode of Top Chef 2022. An opportunity for the show to celebrate the tenth appearance of Black Box, a mythical and no less difficult test of the cooking show. The candidates plunge into the dark and discover a dish cooked by a mystery chef. They then have a trial period to try to make a recipe they may not have actually seen. So we must rely completely on their other senses apart from sight. Smell, touch and distinctly taste are key weapons in trying to get as close to the secret recipe as possible.
This year, two pairs of candidates will be paired with two pairs of chef-jurors who will be able to help them realize their recipe. If candidates discover the black box first, the leader accompanying them can also enter the black box later in the show, and make corrections if necessary. Finally, at the end of the event, one candidate from each team will be able to look at the mystery dish in full light for 30 seconds in an attempt to get as close a look at the dressing as possible. The test is complicated but it will qualify a pair straight for next week’s episode. So the candidates have to give their all once again.

Since the creation of Top Chef, the show’s jury has evolved from season to season, with some chefs leaving the show and replacing them with new names from the French culinary scene. For the 2022 season, Philippe Echebest (Blue Brigade), Helen Daroz (Red Brigade) and Paul Pirate (Purple Brigade) are returning to the jury. For his part, Top Chef’s emblematic juror Michelle Sarran announced that he would not return to the show in 2022 by decision of production. He has been replaced by Glenn Weil, who has appeared several times on the M6 show as a guest conductor.
During a press conference introducing the new season of Top Chef, we were able to discover the role that Glenn Weil will play this year. The chefs of Ostau restaurant in Baumannier (Box-de-Provence) will train the orange brigade. Stephen Rotenberg commented, “He has every intention of blowing it all up. He arrived with energy and a willingness to do very hard”. Glenn Viall explains that he was not specifically asked to be on the jury of Top Chef 2022, he was approached by the production. “Bien évidemment, j’ai sauté sur l’occasion, se souvient-il. C’est un concours qui est bien perçu, bien vu, avec les plus grands chefs du monde qui vienent participer. J’ai été accueilli avec beaucoup de bienveillance et de gentillesse.”
Top Chef viewers discovered a new juror during the 2022 season. If Philippe Echebest, Helen Daroz and Paul Pirate are still present, Michelle Saran has been dropped from the program. The latter called for the production option without reason: “It was a bit violent, recalls the chef from Toulouse in an interview with Paris last September. I didn’t expect it at all. I wondered why his decision inspired me.” Did I? Did I do wrong? I got no answer.” He is replaced by Glenn Weil, who, according to Telly Loisir’s information, did not fail to contact his predecessor prior to filming for corrections.
During a press conference in January 2022, Stephen Rotenberg outlines the next season of Top Chef. He summarizes it in these words: “A new promotion astonishing in character on the one hand, and a pantheon of great cooks on the other”. In the guest chef already announced for this 2022 edition, we mention Alexandre Gauthier, Chef of the Year 2016, Claire Smith, the first woman to win three stars in the United Kingdom, Dominique Crain, the first three Michelin star chef. The United States, or even Pia Leone, was voted the best chef in the world in 2021.
On June 9, 2021, Mohamed Sheikh became the winner of Season 12 of Top Chef. The candidate, who conducted the entire contest under Helen Darroz’s mentorship, faced Sarah from Paul Pirate’s brigade during the final. He won 54.86% of the vote against 45.14% for Sarah, giving him a profit of 54,860 euros. At 28, this young chef has never hidden that he hails from a popular suburb of the Paris area (Fontaine-sous-Bois), and struggles to find a place for himself in the middle. , He has worked notably with several starred chefs such as Eric Frechon. He has also worked at prestigious restaurants such as Royal Monceau or Shangri-La. Since the start of the competition, Mohamed was part of Helen Daroz’s team.
