Topchef3

Top Chef Season 3 was filmed in Miami, Florida — the first season to take place outside of California. Padma Lakshmi returned as host, while the judging panel remained the same; celebrity guest judges joined the panel in each episode. In the end, Hung Huynh beat out Dale Levitski and Casey Thompson in the show's first ever final three finale; the finale took place in Aspen, Colorado, with the winner announced live after airing of the final episode. The Fan Favorite was Casey Thompson.
