Here's a link to Bravo's description of the series: http://www.bravotv.com/life-after-top...

It doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in and, quite honestly, I find both Spike and Fabio to be unwatchable. I liked Blais on his regular season, but found him very unlikeable on the All Stars season. Ditto Jen, though admittedly she wasn't on All Stars very long, her exit left a bad taste in my mouth (which is a shame, as she's the only one whose food I have eaten and it was fabulous).

Richard, Fabio and Spike show up everywhere, it would be nice to see some of the others

[C. Hamster]

I agree.

I'm done with Fabio and Spike.

What about Sam? Dale(s)? Easy Ed? Mikey? Ariane? Robin?

[jujuthomas]

True, it's no mystery where Fabio is or what he's doing - he's everywhere!

[shell22]

Yes, he is overexposed. But I met him last week at a wine dinner and I still love him. He is a real charmer.

Too bad the show didn't focus on all the previous winners.

I'm curious if winning helped their careers?
Was being a portrayed as a heel a detriment, Ilan?
Like winning the lottery, did winning bring "friends" out of the woodwork?

Maybe they will focus on those aspects with Richard Blais who did win the All Stars season.

It will be interesting to see what Jen Carrol's experiences were, as she has been trying to set up a place in Philadelphia, which never succeeded. Latest rumor is that she is heading to NY. So I think we will see aspects of the chef community, as well as how hard it is to be an independent chef in this difficult business environment.

[LindaWhit]

I think Ilan's hubris is such that he would dismiss any issues he had setting up his restaurant as related to him being a wienerhead.

If it ever s shown in Canada yes......

[grayelf]

Ditto. Though I don't suppose they will be doing Life After Top Chef Canada anytime soon vis. Dale McKay's recent closure of his two restaurants. I hope things go better for Carl Heinrich, and that chef McKay lands on his feet.
