Top Chef Estrellas
Leveraging the success of Bravos Top Chef, Telemundo announces the premiere of Top Chef Estrellas on Sunday, February 16th at 8pm/7c. Produced by Emmy award-winning production house Magical Elves and shot in New Orleans on the same kitchen and with the same crew as the Bravo version, Top Chef Estrellas blends the best of Bravos franchise with a few twists, featuring eight major Hispanic celebrities as they compete to raise money for charity. Top Chef Estrellas was presented at the 2014 TCA Press Tour held at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, CA, marking the first time the format crosses over to Spanish-language broadcast television.Hosted by novela star Aylin Mujica (Corazón Valiente, Aurora and Marina), the show features Lorena García, one of the countrys leading Latina chefs, as well as competitor on season four of Bravos Top Chef Masters, alongside James Beard award-nominated TV hosts and owners of award-winning Los Angeles restaurant La Casita Mexicana, Jaime Martín Del Campo and Ramiro Arvizú as the judges. In Top Chef Estrellas, audiences will have a chance to get to know their celebrities in a more intimate personal way as they embark on this culinary journey to win the Top Chef crown and compete for cash prizes totalling US$100,000 to be donated to their chosen charities.As part of the adaptation for the Hispanic audience, once eliminated from the competition, the celebrity contestants do not go home, but rather become sous chefs to the remaining celebrity contestants.
