Top Chef: All-Stars L.A. is the seventeenth season of the American reality television series Top Chef. The season was first announced on November 16, 2019, during a Top Chef-themed panel at Bravo's inaugural fan convention, BravoCon.[1] The competition was filmed in Los Angeles, California, the same setting as the second season.[1] The season finale took place in Italy, marking the first time the show has traveled to Europe.[2] As with the previous all-stars edition, the cast of All-Stars L.A. was composed entirely of returning contestants.[1] Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio returned to judge, along with Gail Simmons, following her absence from the previous season.[1] Along with the return of Last Chance Kitchen, a new web series titled What Would Tom Do? debuted, showcasing Colicchio's approach to the contestants' various challenges.[3] The winner received US$250,000.[2]

The season premiered on March 19, 2020, and concluded on June 18, 2020.[4] In the season finale, Top Chef: Boston finalist Melissa King was declared the winner over Top Chef: Las Vegas and Top Chef Masters runner-up Bryan Voltaggio, and Top Chef: Seattle and Top Chef: New Orleans contestant Stephanie Cmar.[5] King was also voted Fan Favorite.[5]
