Top Chef: All-Stars L.A. | Season 17, Episode 5 Recap: “Bring Your Loved Ones to Work”

Please unpack your knives and stay! The Top Chef Judges’ Table is back on Reality TV RHAP-Ups to cover season 17, Top Chef: All-Stars L.A.

The all-star line up of Haley Strong (@hstrong_), Josh Wigler (@roundhoward), Emily Fox (@emelette), Curt Clark (@CurtClark), Antonio Mazzaro (@acmazzaro) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) return to the podcast this week to discuss “Bring Your Loved Ones to Work,” the fifth episode of season 17. In their conversation, the panel discusses the ways in which Top Chef bakes family into their challenges this week (not literally we hope), and — as always — cooking recommendations for the listeners.

The Top Chef podcast records on Saturdays, send any and all feedback to the hosts on Twitter.
