It's almost here! Top Chef's Season 16 premieres on Thurs, December 6, and we are uber thrilled.

This year, Top Chef is goin' southern-style and will be taking place in non-another than Kentucky, USA.

Maybe they'll have a "frankfurter" food competition in Frankfort! Eh?

We're can't wait to see the upcoming celebrity chefs that will guest star in Season 16, like Lena Waithe & Lily Aldridge!

As we learned at PaleyFest, for the first time ever there will be 3-team Restaurant Wars. Things are bound to get heated...

FYI: Padma Lakshmi will host a cereal-centric baking competition Dec 12. So, our breakfast wishes have been fulfilled.

S16 is finally here so now is the time to catch up on all your Top Chef PFNY moments on the Paley Center YouTube Channel!
