'It's going to be a beautiful, interesting season if we're cooking like this,' Padma adds in the trailer. Padma will be joined by head judge Tom Colicchio as well as Gail Simmons, who all return for Season 19 as 15 cheftestants put their culinary skills to the ultimate test while vying to be named Top Chef. As host Padma Lakshmi notes in the trailer for the new season, above, Houston is 'one of the most diverse cities in the nation' - and these cheftestants are ready to mess with Houston, one dish at a time.
Pack your knives and get ready to go to Houston, because Bravo's Top Chef Season 19 premieres on Thursday, March 3 at 8/7c with a supersized episode.
