The success of the show has resulted in multiple spin-offs, such as Top Chef Masters, Top Chef: Just Desserts, Top Chef Junior, Top Chef Amateurs, and Top Chef Family Style, as well as Spanish-language spin-offs, including Top Chef Estrellas and Top Chef VIP.Life After Top Chef is a spin-off featuring former Top Chef contestants Richard Blais, Jennifer Carroll, Spike Mendelsohn, and Fabio Viviani, which focuses on various aspects of their lives, from managing and opening a restaurant to dealing with family dynamics and personal issues.
While fights on Top Chef had gotten ugly in the past, Top Chef: Texas took a turn for the worst when a contestant started to be racist against another competitor. Contestant Heather led a multi-episode campaign against fellow chef Beverly, degrading her over her specialization in Asian food. Viewers were horrified by Heather's relentless behavior, which drove Beverly to tears onscreen. To make matters worse, Heather refused to apologize during the reunion.
