077. Top Chef Season 22 Episode 4 Recap: "Top Chef Trivia"

It’s getting real spicy in the Top Chef kitchen, and we’re here for all the drama, dishes, and deep cuts. In this week’s recap of Top Chef Season 22, Episode 4, I’m joined once again by the amazing Chef Savannah Miller — finalist from Season 21 and all-around culinary badass — to break down one wild ride of an episode.

We kick things off with a Quickfire Challenge that takes an unexpected turn — a full-on food trivia showdown, judged by none other than Michael Cera (yes, that Michael Cera). Then it's onto a super niche, high-stakes Elimination Challenge: creating savory desserts inspired by classic Canadian treats. And trust us — this one threw everyone for a loop.

We dish on who nailed the challenge, who struggled to find their footing, and which creative risks paid off big time. Chef Savannah shares insider insight on how pastry pressures really hit different in the Top Chef kitchen — and which cheftestants she thinks are quietly building momentum.

Then, we head straight into Last Chance Kitchen, where Episodes 4 & 5 bring intense one-on-one battles, surprise comebacks, and a dish that had us both screaming “REDEMPTION!” from our couches. Chef Savannah breaks down the technical skills, mental game, and the wild comeback energy that’s making LCK must-watch content this season.

Whether you're a casual Top Chef viewer or a diehard fan tracking every microplane and mise en place, this episode delivers bold flavors, hot takes, and plenty of behind-the-scenes context you won’t find anywhere else.
