The Most Famous Top Chef Contestants Who Never Won The Show 

Carla, Antonia, Nyesha and the Voltaggio Brothers. What could be better!

Poor Bryan, losing is one thing, but being 3 for 3 as runner-up can be brutal is it’s own way.

First 3 seasons for S Tier Competitive show and literally paved the way for what food network has become today.

Wait a sec... Where are: Tiffany Derry (S7 &S8) Casey Thompson (S3, S8, S14) Jen Carroll (S6, S8, S17) Karen Akunowicz (S13 & S17) Erik Adjepong (S16 & S17) Dale Levitski (S3 & S8) Angelo Sosa (S7, S8, & S17) Sheldon Simeon (S10 & S14) Edward Lee (S9) Fabio Viviani (S5 & S8) Shirley Chung (S11 & S14) Stephanie Cmar (S10, S11, & S17) Amar Santana (S13) Tanya Holland (S15) Fatima Ali (S15) CJ (S3 & S10) Spike Mendelssohn (S4 & S8) Kwame (S13) Where are those people??? They are also famous... Some even have appearances in MasterChef (Edward, Tanya), Beat Bobby Fat (Karen, Angelo, Fabio), and HK (Shirley), as well as other cooking shows!!!

Nina and Shirley were robbed. Nick shouldn't have been a part of the final two.

Nina Compton did a pop in Brooklyn…the best meal I’ve ever had. She was so kind and accommodating. She most certainly should have won.

I mean, how awesome is Carla! She just has such a sweet spirit, no matter what happened, she never let it get to her, and never stepped out of her character, always remaining positive. She's so goofy corny (in a good way) and just fun as hell.

I would say that MOST of the people who DIDN’T win are superior to those who were rewarded Top Chef. 🤨🤨🤨🤨

Antonia is my favorite chef. I like her and Carla Hall. Both ladies are down to earth and funny

I had no idea Nyesha was on Top Chef.

Carla Hall! Hootie Hooo!

I am dying to try Greg G's cookbook.

You forgot to mention that Kevin has two restaurants here in Atlanta and has recently opened a third. He also appears on the wild and whole Cooking Channel.

They have some chef that who have’s more to learn, on who to make their self’s better at what they do.

Nina should have won.

I like him better than Gordon Ramsey

I always liked Dale he was passionate. Plus they had that chick on his season who was the worst

What does it say about the “Top Chef” competition when most of its talent is pushed out of the competition. Those chefs who are awarded “Top Chef” go off to anonymity therefore the prestige of the competition is never elevated. The so called losers like Nina Compton go off and excel in the field and win James Beard Awards. In fact Top Chef has called on Nina several times to come back and judge. I wonder why they don’t ask the season winner to return? What’s his name again? I just don’t want Nina to return to a Top Chef All-Star competition. I don’t care how much they pay her, she is better than that. 🤨🤨🤨.
