World Food Day is celebrated every year worldwide on 16 October in honor of the date of the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. In conjunction with the celebration of World Food Day, this Sunday DIVA Universal brings you out on a three-hour yummy-licious escapade with Top Chef Marathon.
4 Star All Stars @ 2.30pm
To kick-start season 3, this episode reunites eight chefs from the previous seasons to compete against each other for $20,000 for their team’s selected charity, and Season Three’s contestants are introduced. In QuickFire Challenge, the chefs are asked to cook perfect eggs with one Hand behind their back. Then in the Elimination Challenge, they are required to create a four-course meal using scallops, lobster, duck and Kobe Beef. The cook-off concludes with the two teams serving their meals to “Top Chef 3 Miami’s” 15 new chefs.
Watch What Happens @ 3.30pm
Miami may have taken a week off, but the drama didn’t stop. In this special episode, Bravo’s Andy Cohen sits down with past and current contestants to explore their experiences in the competition. Favorite chefs from all three seasons, the judges and Watch What Happens ringleader Andy Cohen all come together for an hour of answers to fan-submitted questions, hysterical montages and never before seen footage.
Top Chef: Holiday Special @ 4.30pm
The Holiday Special brought back many of the ghosts of Top Chefs past as CJ, Marcel, Tre, Betty, Josie, Sandee, Stephen, and Tiffani came back to compete once more – this time in Chicago. After opening some gifts and reminiscing, it was back to business. In the Quickfire the chefs were greeted by Padma and a mystery Santa, who turned out to be none other than the delicious Eric Ripert. The chefs had to create a dish from one gifted ingredient, which were
chosen through a game of “Dirty Santa.” Ultimately, CJ won the Quickfire, which gave him a limited advantage in the Elimination Challenge. For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs had to create a three-course meal, and would be judged through every course head-to-head, meaning that two chefs would be eliminated each round. Because CJ won the Quickfire, he could get a free pass in any of the courses, except the last. After three courses for the esteemed panel of judges, it came down to Tre and Tiffani. While both chefs got help completing their final dish of leftovers from the other chefs, Tiffani was victorious.
