Top Chef

Twenty three seasons, each one named after where it was filmed. Three sources give three different totals and the whole gap is in three early seasons.

Where to start with Top Chef

Any season. Each is named for the city it was shot in and is self contained, and the only thing that carries between them is which chefs come back for the All-Stars seasons, of which there are three. Those reward having seen the seasons the returning chefs came from, but they do not require it.

  1. 1
    Season 6, Las Vegas Top Chef

    Sixteen episodes and widely held to be the strongest season, which makes it a fair first one despite being ninth in order.

  2. 2
    Season 8, All-Stars Top Chef

    Seventeen episodes of returning chefs from the first seven seasons. It is a season of the main show, not a separate series, whatever the title suggests.

  3. 3
    Season 23, Carolinas Top Chef

    Fourteen episodes, finished in June 2026, and the most recent complete season.

Then what? A twenty fourth season was announced in May 2026 for spring 2027, with no date and no location named.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
