According to the Bravo press release, each competitor will put their skilled “take on iconic regional dishes” while also involving the “ethnic diversity” coming from Houston, Texas. Top Chef season 19 will incorporate various challenges, including Nigerian cuisine and an elimination challenge assigning contestants to serve Houston residents an Asian-inspired dish at an Asian Night Market.
The other challenges will feature the Lone Star state’s main foods like barbecue, biscuits, and fajitas. In the show’s trailer, which was first released on Jan. 24, a contestant opens up about the common side effects they were experiencing with COVID-19. They claimed, “I lost my sense of smell and taste. I am terrified.”
