Celebrity chef Curtis Stone returns this summer to host "Top Chef Masters" season four.

A new series "Life After Top Chef" is under development by BRAVO.

For the first time cameras are taken outside of the "Top Chef" kitchen and into the lives of Bravo's most beloved former cheftestants as they reach milestones in their personal lives and culinary careers. From opening their own restaurants to expanding their growing franchises, viewers will follow Jen Carroll in Philadelphia, Richard Blais in Atlanta, Fabio Viviani in Los Angeles and Spike Mendelsohn in DC.

I personally think "Life After Top chef" will be quite interesting. I have seen a lower quality to the competitors for Top chef Masters 3 after the industry icons in TCM1 and TCM2, so I predict further erosion of the stature of competing chefs for TCM4. I hope I'm wrong.

"Top Chef Masters" season four is from The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas with 12 new award-winning chefs hungry to compete for the title and win $100,000 for their charity, premiering Wednesday, July 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. In each episode the winners of every quickfire challenge will be awarded $5,000 while the victors of the elimination challenges will receive $10,000 for their designated charities. Celebrity chef Curtis Stone is back as series host alongside returning judges James Oseland and Ruth Reichl with new judges, food and travel journalist Krista Simmons and features editor of Gilt Taste, Francis Lam. Entertainers join the judges table including Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard, folk rock music duo Indigo Girls, Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese, popular American party band The B-52's, Olympic Gold Medalist Brian Boitano, Las Vegas performer Holly Madison, among others.
