It’s been awhile since fiercely competitive Canadian chefs have heard the fateful “Please pack your knives and go,” since Top Chef Canada took a pause on Food Network Canada. Now the franchise is back with a fresh All Stars edition, with some new (and likely familiar) faces on the panel.

Launching April 2, Top Chef Canada All Stars will feature returning TC Canada alum vying for a chance to get their tear- and olive oil-stained hands on some serious cash.
