NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- Bravo said Thursday it has renewed its U.S. competition series, "Top Chef Masters," for a second season.
"Once again, the judges' table will be turned, and viewers will see what happens when world-renowned chefs compete against each other in a series of weekly challenges and revert back to basics," the network said in a news release. "Only one chef will make it to the finals to compete for the title of 'Top Chef Master' and a prize for the charity of their choice."
Frances Berwick, executive vice president and general manager of Bravo Media, made the announcement about the show Thursday.
Food journalist Kelly Choi is to return as the series' host, alongside renowned restaurant critic Gael Greene, culinary expert James Oseland and food critic Jay Rayner, who will sit at the Critic's Table.
"Top Chef" series judge Gail Simmons will also serve as a judge this season on "Top Chef Masters."
"In its freshman season, 'Top Chef Masters' resonated with viewers and critics alike, as the best of the best faced each other in fiery competition," Berwick said in a statement. "This season we're adding to the pot throwing in more acclaimed chefs. Let's see if they can stand the heat."
