Top Chef: Viva Milano! (Bravo, Thursday, June 5, 2025)

Top Chef

Top Chef is going global (again) in its latest episode, airing Thursday at 9 PM ET on Bravo. Viva Milano!, the thirteenth episode of Season 22, finds the remaining cheftestants facing off in Italy, tasked with creating classic Milanese cuisine—including a dish that’s become synonymous with the region: risotto.

But there’s a twist. The chefs will get a little help—or perhaps a healthy dose of distraction—from a group of Olympic athletes, whose appearance is set to spice things up on this week’s episode. The visit coincides with the season’s final Quickfire challenge, meaning the pressure’s on to impress. The elimination challenge unfolds as a three-part, head-to-head culinary battle, with the added wrinkle of incorporating local Italian ingredients.
