086. Top Chef Season 22 Episode 13 Recap - "Viva Milano!"

Rich Herrera Episode 86

We’re nearing the end of Top Chef Season 22, and the final four chefs just landed in Milan for one of the wildest episodes of the season. And yeah—it delivered.

In this recap, I’m joined once again by friend of the pod and S21 finalist Savannah Miller to talk about everything from Tom Colicchio’s extremely passive-aggressive risotto meltdown to Bailey’s redemption arc in the Gorgonzola round. We cover the highs, the “what were they thinking?” moments, and what it means when two chefs show up to a risotto challenge and don’t even cook rice.

We also get into the strategy behind the elimination challenge’s three-round Olympic-style format, how a grocery shopping partner can make or break your headspace, and why Tristan might be the quiet favorite heading into the finale.

Plus: Savannah shares what it’s really like to take a long break between episodes, and how it can completely throw off your game.

🎯 Whether you're Team Risotto Purist or just here for the Olympic cameos, you’ll want to catch this one.
