Canada is home to lots of celebrity chefs. It’s no wonder as this is one nation that appreciates what it means to eat well. Like everyone else, Canadians not only love to talk about food. They also love to watch it on television. Food is as much entertainment as it is nourishment. Food is very much on the minds of Canadians as they cope with the restrictions imposed on their society as COVID-19 has carved a swath through many communities. One of the most popular of all Canadian food show is that of Top Chef. Like the American version it also has a huge audience.
Season Nine
Top Chef Canada has been coming to Canadian viewers for eight seasons. The new season is currently underway. Like the previous seasons, this one continues to attract a great many viewers. Canadians like the fact that the show demonstrates to the world just how much their culture has to offer when it comes to enjoying all forms of dining. They also appreciate that many Americans and others around the world are also watching along with them. Episodes are available to viewers here as well as to all those interested in other places.
Varied Challenges
Just like the American version, the new season of Top Chef Canada also has the standard set up of a fast challenge followed by a much longer challenge. These challenges are intended to show the breath of the contestant’s skills and their ability to think on their feet. A recent challenge had Mandel Hitzer as the guest judge. He was there to help determine who could best make use of oats. This is the kind of product that so many Canadians choose to use in their own homes when it comes to cooking for their families.
Diverse Talents
Another thing that many Canadians appreciate when they are watching Top Chef Canada is just how diverse the cast members are on this show. This is true of the new season. Many of the contestants featured on the show have a background with different kinds of food culture. For example, chef Andrea Aldridge looks to her roots in Jamaica and The Philippines for inspiration when it comes to working within the parameters of the show’s challenges. She is delighting judges and viewers alike with her own personal take on many classic Canadian dishes each time.
