Bobby Chinn Instagram – A picture says a thousand words. Top Chef has been nominated for an International Emmy. ‘Congratulations’ to all the incredibly talented, dedicated team members behind this world class production. I, with my fellow judges are obviously very proud and humble to be working with this internationally recognized production team. To think that in season 6 they continued to refine & fine tune the production is exactly the attitude that this team brings with each additional season. Now for some scrolling credits;
When I first met Rabih Ramal (Executive Producer of Top Chef) I recognized that I was in the company of a very creative, kind soul. In time, I would experience his ethos / culture and sensibility that has made Top Chef uniquely different to the other international TC franchises. It’s not just just the creativity, it’s a team effort where the total is greater then the sim of the parts. He assembled an incredible team of dedicated professionals from a creative forces & technical forces behind this production is staggering. (I wanted to post the tour of the studio given by Ghazi (DOP) and some of the behind the scene shots of the third episode but this is pretty big news and I’ll post later.)
Every season I mention director Wassim Succar & assistant director Reine. I hardly get to film them as they are always too busy, but they sure do give the show a lot of visual candy, drama, and capture the essence of the show.
There are producers like Pamela who leave no stones unturned, and can juggle multiple issues on her 2 phones. Nothing falls through the cracks, with no time to waste, she literally listens to her WhatsApp voice messages at x2 speed. A huge honor for me personally to work with Kiki who could have been hired as my ‘emotional support’ personal but she is our ‘content producer’. Obviously Samir, our other content producer had big shoes to fill, but in his first season, he is part of an Emmy nominated show! I like to say ‘good work does not go unnoticed’ bravo to you all. Thank you @mbc for giving us all the opportunity to do what we do. @mbctopchef | Posted on 03/Oct/2022 15:05:50
