How to watch Top Chef 2022 online without cable tonight

Knives out! Are you ready to watch Top Chef 2022 online? The new season is here, so you can watch from anywhere even if you don't have cable. Season 19 takes the cooking competition to Houston, the country's most diverse city and left off the list of towns featured in the Texas-themed ninth season.

Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons return to the judging panel, along with a rotating selection of Top Chef alums and other acclaimed chefs. The alumni include last season's runner-up Dawn Burrell as well as Tiffany Derry, Hung Huynh, Stephanie Izard, Melissa King, Kristen Kish, Kwame Onwuachi, Sam Talbot, Brooke Williamson and Claudette Zepeda. 

Season 19 is introducing a new twist: For the first time ever, the cheftestants are allowed to bring homemade ingredients to the Top Chef pantry. They can also request specific items for the production team to purchase. According to Top Chef executive producer Doneen Arquines, the result is dishes "you likely haven't seen or heard of before."

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Top Chef 2022. Plus, check out the trailer below:
