084. Top Chef Season 22 Episode 11 Recap: "Calgary, Yahoo!"

Hold on to your chef coats—we’re jet-setting from cowboy breakfasts in Calgary to couture cuisine in Milan as Top Chef: Destination Canada cranks up the drama in Episode 11!

This week on Eat Your Content, I’m chopping it up with Top Chef Season 21 finalist Chef Savannah Miller as we unpack one of the most surprising announcements of the season: the finale is headed to MILAN. Yep, from hoecakes to haute cuisine, our remaining six chefs are on a world-class culinary rollercoaster.

But we’re not just here to fan out over the destination (OK, maybe a little)—we’re digging deep into the edit. Who’s getting that subtle "winner's edit"? Is Tristan cruising with quiet confidence toward the title? Or is Massimo's classic technique setting up a late-game surge? We get into all of it—the sneaky storytelling, the character arcs, and the juicy setup for what might just be a Top Chef finale for the ages.

Plus:
 🍳 Why the pancake Quickfire felt more like an elimination round
 🎭 The potential for a classic Top Chef face vs. heel rivalry (Tristan vs. Massimo, anyone?)
🧳 How the international finale raises the stakes—and the expectations

If you love food TV, production tea, and chef drama that actually matters, this is the episode for you.
