Basic format. Top Chef is a reality show that uses a progressive elimination format. The beginning of each season starts with twelve to nineteen professional chefs selected through auditions. The chefs are brought to the season's host city or state, which typically inspires themes throughout the season.
The head cook runs the show. The executive chef, sometimes called the head cook or the chef de cuisine, is the one responsible for running the food preparation in a kitchen. He or she takes on much more of a management role than anyone else on the kitchen staff. Executive chefs are usually employed by large restaurants, hotels, private country clubs and even cruise lines.
