   1. The Canadian Culinary Dream

   20 Oct 2026 · 44 min

   In the season 13 premiere, the journey toward the Canadian culinary dream begins as nine chefs from across the country enter the Top Chef Canada kitchen. In a surprising twist, these nine chefs are joined by three previously eliminated chefs returning for another shot at their dream of being crowned Canada’s Top Chef. In the first Quickfire challenge, the Chefs put their raw talent to the test and create raw dishes – without the use of any heat. Then, in teams led by the returning Chef captains, they collaborate on menus inspired by the Canadian landscape, with each menu showcasing ingredients from the land, sea, gardens, and forests.

   3. Taste of Tempo

   3 Nov 2026 · 44 min

   The Chefs head to the cottage for a Quickfire challenge inspired by the nostalgic flavours of a classic Canadian summer. From dockside bites to golden hour treats, they must put their own elevated spin on the dishes that define cottage life. Then, they team up to celebrate Toronto Tempo, Canada's first WNBA team, and their historic first season. Each pair must create a duo of bites with opposing flavour profiles to please a hungry crowd of Tempo fans. In this challenge, success comes down to one thing: teamwork. Chefs win as a team or face elimination as a team.
