Calgarians really cooking on Top Chef Canada: All- Stars. Redemption is on the menu for two Calgary chefs currently competing on a new season of Top Chef Canada that pits former competitors against each other in an all- stars version of the show.

Sousa and Nicole Gomes of Cluck n’ Cleaver and Nicole Gourmet who made the cut to return to Toronto for another attempt at a $1. De. Sousa, who was a finalist on the inaugural season of the show, said it’s a gamble to return to the Top Chef Canada kitchen — more so than when first appearing.“It’s a big risk; you could do really well in your season and then completely bomb on All- Stars,” she said.
From Top Chef to Chopped and Hell's Kitchen to Next Iron Chef, here is a list of the top cooking competition reality shows.

Sousa competed and Charcut had just first opened when she was on the show. Now, she and co- chef and co- owner John Jackson have opened a second spot — Charbar in the Simmons building in East Village — and have taken on catering for Telus Spark.

Mark O'Neill mark@markoneill. Among her goals was to be more tranquil in the kitchen while competing.
Not all goals are met.“I think at one point I said I’d be more quiet, but I don’t think that happened,” Gomes said. Neither Gomes nor De. Sousa knew the other was even competing.
All of the chefs have upped their game since they first appeared on the show, said De. Sousa.“It was so much harder this year. Everyone has sized up their game; they’re seven years better than when they first competed,” she said. Gomes called it a learning experience, noting how different it was than four years ago when she first filmed the show.“You really change. I had those conversations with the other chefs about how much changed. You can do a lot in four years and a lot has happened with us,” she said.
