Top Chef VIP takes the basic premise of Top Chef, and adds the twist of global celebrities as the culinary contestants – and these are the featured cooks for season 3. Premiering on Telemundo, the show features a grand prize of $200,000, adding high stakes to the already intense kitchen battles. Hosted by the popular Colombian actress Carmen Villalobos, the show also includes expert judges like Antonio de Livier, who ensure the celebrities are judged on their cooking abilities, not just their star power.
