“Top Chef” may not have filmed in Colorado for its upcoming season (Kentucky had the honors this time around), but two of our hometown season 15 cheftestants will be back to compete on Last Chance Kitchen, the show’s digital companion series.
Carrie Baird (Bar Dough) and Brother Luck (Four by Brother Luck) packed their knives and headed to Louisville to battle it out for a chance to get back on the popular cooking competition. Baird said she was surprised by the “Top Chef” call asking her to return, but even more surprised when she learned that Luck would be her rival again.
“We didn’t know we were both there until we walked on stage. They (the show’s producers) kept the secret pretty well. I knew there would be other past contestants, but I didn’t know who,” Baird said.
The two chefs represented Colorado when “Top Chef” filmed here last season. Luck made it to episode six, when a sub-par German challenge sent him packing, while Baird made it all the way to the final four.
“It’s a big commitment,” Baird said of the decision to re-join the “Top Chef” world. “If you get back on you have to go for the whole time. Like last time, it’s a gamble.”
Both the Bravo TV show and Last Chance Kitchen — which includes season 14 contestant Jim Smith as the third competitor — filmed in Louisville this past summer. Last Chance Kitchen will be available on bravotv.com after the season premiere of “Top Chef” on Thursday, Dec. 6.
Want to watch with Carrie? Bar Dough will be hosting “Top Chef” Thursdays, where it will air the show followed by Last Chance Kitchen. You know, just in case you failed to get your Carrie selfie last season.
“That’s the best part about it. People come to see me and eat at Bar Dough. It’s really fun. It has not gotten old, and I like it very much,” Baird said.
