Checking in on the Top Chef Winners: Where Are They Now?

TV is about to get tastier because Top Chef is finally back!

Season 19 of Bravo’s hit culinary competition series premieres tonight, Thursday, Mar. 1 and we can’t wait to see the 15 new chef-testants battle it out for the top prize in Houston, TX.

In addition to returning host Padma Lakshmi and judges Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons, this season will once again feature a rotating dining and judging panel comprised of Top Chef winners and finalists. Some of the fan favorites returning will include Richard Blais, Gregory Gourdet, Kristen Kish, Brooke Williamson, Kwame Onwuachi and many more.

With so many past Top Chef stars returning for season 19, we thought we’d check in will all of the past 18 winners of the Emmy-winning series. So what have all the other Top Chef winners been up to since their stint on the show?

Scroll down for updates on everyone from season one’s Harold Dierterle to season 17’s Melissa King before tomorrow night’s premiere!
