Season chronology

Top Chef: Wisconsin is the twenty-first season of the American reality television series Top Chef. The season was filmed in Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin, marking the series' first return to the Midwestern United States since Top Chef: Chicago. The season finale was filmed aboard the MS Eurodam in the Caribbean, with stops in Curaçao and Aruba. Top Chef: Seattle winner Kristen Kish replaces Padma Lakshmi as host, following Lakshmi's departure from the show after the previous season. A new digital aftershow, titled The Dish with Kish, debuted alongside the returning Last Chance Kitchen web series.

This season introduced new rules to the competition. Immunity from elimination was no longer awarded for winning Quickfire Challenges. Instead, immunity could only be won through Elimination Challenges, making the winning chef safe in the next episode. The contestants were given the opportunity to earn cash prizes at every Quickfire. In addition, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons joined Kish to judge the Quickfire Challenges during the latter half of the season, at which point, the chefs' Quickfire performances were factored into elimination decisions.

Top Chef: Wisconsin premiered on March 20, 2024, and concluded on June 19, 2024. In the season finale, Danny Garcia was declared the winner over runners-up Dan Jacobs and Savannah Miller. Michelle Wallace was voted Fan Favorite.
