Season Two Lineup of Top Chef Masters Revealed

Bravo officially pops the lid on the new chef lineup for the second season of Top Chef Masters. Of the 22 cheftestants, six were already featured on the first installment—Graham Elliot Bowles, Wylie Dufresne, Ludo Lefebvre, Rick Moonen, Mark Peel and Jonathan Waxman—but sadly for any prospective Bay Area rooting interests, there are no local chefs involved this time around.

Anyway, the main judges—led by intrepid hostess Kelly Choi—are returning with Top Chef fave Gail Simmons, and guest judges will include Mekhi Phifer, the cast of Modern Family and in what could be a Simpsons-themed episode, Matt Groening and Hank Azaria. The new season premieres April 7.
