Is Someone "Quitting" Top Chef All Stars L.A.?! Here's What's Coming Up in Season 17

The Bravo's Top Chef Season 17 contestants are definitely feeling the heat. As the most intense season of the culinary competition ever continues, it looks like one of the cheftestants is feeling like getting out of the kitchen. (There are MAJOR SPOILERS ahead if you haven't seen the latest episode of Top Chef.)

In the above sneak peek of what's still to come this season, which includes some must-see challenges at a summer camp and cooking for Olympians at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Brian Malarkey seems to be having an especially difficult time with his fellow All Stars. "Everyone's out for themselves," Brian can be heard saying at one point in the preview. "I'm feeling betrayed."

During one Judges' Table, Brian even sounds like he's about ready to throw in the towel. "At this point, I'm cooked," he says. "I've had a great ride, my friends."

That makes host Padma Lakshmi ask, "So are you quitting right now?"

We'll have to wait and see what the fate of Brian will be, but one thing is for sure: All of the All Stars are fighting for a spot in the Season 17 finale, which, for the first time in Top Chef history, will take place in Europe. "I'm gonna use every cell in my body to get to this finale," Gregory Gourdet says in the preview.

Those lucky enough to make it to the finale in Italy will be treated to truffle hunting, bellissimo views, and some of the best cuisine in the world. In the words of Melissa King, "It's not the time to choke."
