Top Chef Judges Try Southern Food (Supermarket vs Small Batch) | Food & Wine

‘Top Chef’ judges Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons team up with host Kristen Kish to put their palates to the test in a tasting challenge focused on Southern classics, all without knowing exactly what they’re eating. In this episode of Taste Off, they sample BBQ sauce, buttery biscuits, pecan pie, and more beloved staples side by side, comparing small-batch makers with familiar supermarket brands. With plenty of debate, surprise favorites, and chef-level insight along the way, Tom, Gail, and Kristen see whether their expert taste buds can tell the difference between artisan and grocery store versions of these iconic Southern foods.
