Professional chefs, judges who accept nothing less than perfection, unexpected twists — and one ultimate goal: the title. That’s Top Chef Season 9 in a nutshell.
Season 9 kicks off with the new roster of contestants and the arrival of the signature “Mystery Box”, but this time there is a twist and the chefs are in for a surprise.
The remaining 14 chefs are split into two teams, where each team is tasked with cooking 7 completely different dishes using Abu Kass rice.
The chefs are tasked with cooking three fine-dining dishes using a very limited budget of 120 Saudi riyals.
Four teams of three compete to craft three dishes centred around one of four ingredients, beetroot, dates, potatoes and sesame, with special guests Chefs Akrame Benallal and Faycal Bettioui.
Featuring the Top Chef Auction, the contestants must bid on different ingredients and pair them as part of a culinary challenge that tests their creativity and strategic choices
Teaming up in twos, the chefs hash it out in the kitchen to come up with the best street food recipes. Two will be eliminated, but what will the takeaway be from the judges?
The two immunity holders face off in a high-stakes showdown, but only one gets to keep the advantage. Later, two teams of five battle to deliver dishes with the ultimate crunch.
In this episode, the power of three takes over: three-member teams, three olive oils, three bites. Who will come out on top?
In this season’s 9th episode, the chefs go all in, turning their life stories into flavour-packed menus of four dishes that reflect their visions.
The chefs are thrown their sweetest curveball yet—a savoury dish using chocolate as the main ingredient! Will they rise to the challenge or crumble under pressure?
In a heartfelt tribute to the late Chef Greg Malouf, a recurring guest on the show, the contestants are challenged to create a dish using his favourite ingredient.
The semi-final heats up as the remaining chefs put their tastebuds to the test—and bring to the table the perfect re-creation of Chef Vauxion’s iconic dish.
In a fiery finale, the chefs battle it out in three knockout rounds but only two will make it to the final cook-off. Who will take this season's Top Chef crown?
