Ariana Gunderson and Carolyn Mason are back with some off-season Top Chef content! They sit down with historian L. Sasha Gora to discuss her new book, Culinary Claims: Indigenous Restaurant Politics in Canada, and the representation of Indigenous food and culture on Top Chef Season 22 in Canada.

Ariana and Carolyn sink their teeth into a discussion of Episode 2 of the Great Soul Food Cook-Off on Max. They analyze the mix of pride and disgust on display at a 'low on the hog' challenge and break down who really committed to the bit in creating dishes honoring iconic Black trailblazers.

Carolyn and Ariana pull up to the table to discuss a new show: The Great Soul Food Cook-Off, now on Max. This episode is full of hot takes, as we interpret the show's definition of soul food, call out some interesting gendered patterns in who cooks what, and make our winner picks.

Ariana and Carolyn go out with a BANG in their recap of the final episode of season 22 of Top Chef. They relive the highs and even higher highs of three incredible finale meals, discuss the winners, and the politics of a food narrative.

Ariana and Carolyn stir the pot in their recap of the penultimate episode of Top Chef Season 22. Cheftestants face perhaps their greatest fear in a risotto quickfire, and then battle head-to head to flaunt local ingredients: polenta, beets, and Gorgonzola. Bizarrely, Paralympians and Olympians are also there.

Carolyn and Ariana root around for all the tastiest tidbits on this week’s episode of Top Chef. The Cheftestants must forage for their ingredients in a mountaintop forest and cook over an open fire to determine who will move on to Milan.

Ariana Gunderson and Carolyn Mason say YAHOO as the Top Chef contestants travel to Calgary for episode 11 of season 22. Join us as we discuss flipping chuckwagon pancakes for 50 diners and pairing berries with steak to honor the intercultural impact of the Calgary Stampede.

Things heat up as Ariana Gunderson and Carolyn Mason discuss Episode 10 of Top Chef Season 22. The chefs take shopping local to new heights, as they explore sustainability and seasonality in this week's Elimination Challenge.
