Since last year, the culinary program has been enriched with hits broadcast throughout the episodes. A novelty that pleases fans and creates a very special atmosphere.
The biggest international stars now appear in the program at a rate of ten to thirty hits per episode. In all, 200 different songs (songs, songs, songs) have been added to the show's playlist. The musical selection of episodes from season 15, currently broadcast on the channel, is more explosive than ever. The show's editors allowed themselves more freedoms, but the real shift took place in 2023 and is becoming even more pronounced this year. "Today, the kitchen is dusting itself off. We see more and more daring candidates. Cooking as it was done fifteen years ago is no longer the same. The great chefs have made this shift themselves. They are much more rock than before," explains Tiphaine Gauchet, post-production artistic producer of the program. "We allowed ourselves to modernize this program much more by including hits, something that was not there before. A desire linked to the renewal of gastronomy." Key moments are now accompanied by well-known, exciting, or darker tunes. The arrival of the guest chefs is also accompanied by hits. To vary the pleasures, artistic producers choose reorchestrations and reinterpretations of hits. The producers don't hesitate to play the humor card either. They thus orchestrated the portrait of Clotaire, who traveled the world in a camper van, in the first episode of "Top Chef's" 15th season. "We believe that viewers become more attached to the candidates because we have created a whole universe for them and that also involves the music," says Tiphaine Gauchet, artistic producer of "Top Chef's" 15th episode will be broadcast on Sunday, September 14. The final will take place on September 17, 2017. The winner will be announced on September 18. The show will be shown on Channel 4. For more information, visit www.topchef.com/topchefs.
