This Wednesday, March 1, 2023, Philippe Etchebest returns to M6 for the kickoff of the 14ᵉ season of “Top chef”. Thus, he will find Glenn Viel, Paul Pairet and Hélène Darroze. Great novelty this year, the BFF of Laeticia Hallyday will not lead a brigade. In reality, the happy mother of two children will have a completely different role. Indeed, it will offer a second chance to the candidates ousted from the show.
The cooks concerned will have to face behind the stoves, the participants eliminated from the previous week. Sequence which will be broadcast in the second part of the evening. Obviously, the production decided to rectify the situation following the countless feedback from viewers “disappointed”. For them, trials were often “endless” in addition to the absence of twists.

“He better not touch her…”
In any case, aficionados seem happy to find Philippe Etchebest in multiple culinary programs. With his experience, he takes pleasure in guiding all people passionate about cooking. If he is always benevolent, Dominique’s companion does not hesitate to reframe the candidates who dare to cross the red line. However, he also sometimes disconcerts them with his humor.
In 2020 in “Top Chef Goal”, Philippe Etchebest has drawn the wrath of Benoit, a 36-year-old salesman who hoped to join his brigade. To put all his chances on his side, the main interested party put in the spotlight a tasty revisited fillet of bull! Despite this exceptional dish that made him salivate, Louis-Oscar’s dad was more intrigued by Alice, Benoit’s companion, who had come to support him for this new ordeal.
“She has very pretty eyes, your girlfriend”, released Philippe Etchebest. Embarrassed by his remark, the latter preferred to remain silent… Unlike his darling. “It’s mine though”, replied Benoît to the starred chef. Wanting to rectify the situation, the son of Jean-Pierre Etchebest quickly calmed things down: “Oh! In all honor, that’s a compliment”, he assured by revealing his wedding ring. “I’m not going to steal it from you…”
Behind the scenes, the so-called Benoit went one better in front of the cameras: “I came with Alice, because she’s my other half, she’s the woman who shares my life. It may be a MOF, a star, she’s my girlfriend, so he has no interest in to touch. That is clear !
