Life After Top Chef: Season 1, Episode 1

1 - 1:

If you thought the pressure let up after leaving the Top Chef kitchen, think again. In the premiere episode of Life After Top Chef, viewers catch a glimpse into the personal and professional lives of memorable former cheftestants -- Richard Blais in Atlanta, Jen Carroll in Philadelphia, Spike Mendelsohn in D.C., and Fabio Viviani in Los Angeles. Top Chef: All-Stars champ Richard Blais is beginning construction on a new restaurant, but will his demanding career take too great a toll on his family life? Spike Mendelsohn was born into the restaurant business, and his outrageously opinionated family never lets him forget it. With two successful restaurants, the family empire is expanding, meaning a whole new slew of family feuds.
