'Top Chef All-Stars': Bravo confirms cast of fan-favorite season
The rumors are true. So if the "Top Chef: DC" finale annoyed you as much as it did most everyone else, you'll be pretty thrilled to know that the next season of Bravo's culinary competition is bringing back your favorite alums from the first seven outings.
During the "DC" reunion, in which the case of the stolen pea puree was finally settled (not guilty!), Andy Cohen confirmed that Season 8 will bring the series back to New York for "Top Chef: All Stars."
The cast of 18 alums includes plenty of fan favorites and a few baddies. Let's break them down:
Tiffani Faison, Season 1, San Francisco
Stephen Asprinio, Season 1, San Francisco
Elia Aboumrad, Season 2, Los Angeles
Marcel Vigneron, Season 2, Los Angeles
Casey Thompson, Season 3, Miami
Tre Wilcox, Season 3, Miami
Dale Levitsky, Season 3, Miami
Richard Blais, Season 4, Chicago
Antonia Lofaso, Season 4, Chicago
Dale Talde, Season 4, Chicago
Spike Mendelsohn, Season 4, Chicago
Carla Hall, Season 5, New York
Fabio Viviani, Season 5, New York
Jamie Lauren, Season 5, New York
Michael Isabella, Season 6, Las Vegas
Jennifer Carroll, Season 6, Las Vegas
Angelo Sosa, Season 7, Washington, DC
Tiffany Derry, Season 7, Washington, DC
The new season starts Wesdnesday, Dec. 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET, and, personally, we can't wait. Carla, Fabio, Tiffany and a few others definitely warrant another shot at the "Top Chef" crown.
Who will you be rooting for?

Tiffany, Tre, Jen would be a great final three.
Wouldn't mind seeing Carla, Fabio, or Antonia in there too.
My top three are Richard Blais,
Fabio & Angelo Soza. I also like
Tiffany Darry & Dale Livitsky.
I don't know why they keep
bringing back Stephen Asprinio
& Marcel back for these specials.
They were not that good the first
time. Also, why did they give
Trey a second chance? He was the
only chef ever to be kicked off
It doesn't make sense to give him
another chance. It will be interesting to see what happens
between Marcel and Trey.
I loves me some Fabio!
Tiffany Derry, she should have won
Tiffany & Trey all the way!!!!!
Rooting for an all girl final, Tiffany, Jennifer, and Carla
Tiffany Derry all the way. All Girl final would be great too. Tiff Derry, Carla, and Jenn. SPeaking of Tiffany Derry.. I actually had lunch today at her restaurant, Very Yummy.
NOTE: Spike was on Chicago. You have the right season number, but mistakenly put New York instead of Chicago!
As a long-time viewer who's watched every season of Top Chef from day one, I think this is a stellar cast and I'm excited to see all of them back in the kitchen. Definitely looking forward to some serious competition and excellent food!
Uh, Helen--Cliff is the one who was sent home because of the 'prank' with Marcel--NOT Tre.
