'Top Chef' recap: 'Jeopardy!' champs Mattea Roach and Amy Schneider, actor Michael Cera, join show
As Kristen Kish announced, the Quickfire Challenge involved a trivia game to determine cook times for the chefs. Split into three teams, there were 15 questions total that the Top Chef competitors had to answer. If one team did not know the answer, another team could buzz in to answer instead.
The team with the most correct answers got 30 minutes to cook, then 20 minutes for the second place team, and only 15 minutes for the team that answered the least number of questions correctly.
The questions ranged from, "what is one of the most suggestive vegetable emojis?" To, "what fatty piece of protein also translates to bull in Spanish?"
The green team, César, Corwin, Shuai and Vincenzo "Vinny," were quick winners, getting eight questions correct before any other time could even get one point. The purple team, Massimo, Zubair, Paula and Lana, came in second place. Leaving Katianna, Henry, Kat and Tristen in last place.
For the second part of the challenge, each team had to create a dish with at least three of the ingredients from their team's trivia answers. But it was judged as an individual challenge for $10,000 in Quickfire Quick Cash.
Green team ingredients:
Shiso
Ginger
Eggplant
Lamb
Scallops
Chili crisp
Nectarines
Panko
Purple team ingredients:
Fennel
Toro
Pretzels
Curry
Yellow team ingredients:
Battered
Rice
Sandwich
Corwin won the challenge with seared scallop with chili crisp and ginger beurre blanc, shrimp paste, yuzu and shiso. This win brought his total winnings to $15,000.
For the Elimination Challenge, a table of "iconic" Canadian desserts was wheeled into the Top Chef kitchen. The chefs had to incorporate these items into their dishes. Specifically, they had to deconstruct the desserts to make a savoury dish.
There were six dessert and 12 chef, meaning they had to draw knives to work in pairs.
Team pairings for the Elimination Challenge:
Tristen and Corwin, Figgy Duff
Zubair and Henry, Butter Tarts
Paula and Kat, Nanaimo Bars
Shuai and Katianna, Jam Jams
Vinny and Lana, Potato Chocolate Cake
Massimo and César, Date Squares
They had 30 minutes and $100 to shop at the St. Lawrence Market for ingreidents, and two hours to cook the next day at Casa Loma.
In addition to Michael Cera, co-owner of Roselle Desserts, Stephanie Duong, and Lenore Johnson, owner of Lenjo Bakes and The Shed, joined Kristen Kish, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons at the judges table.
The biggest disaster of the competition was that Henry didn't put his sauce on one plate, which went to Gail.
The dish from each chef and the feedback from the judges went as follows:
Kat — Nanaimo duck breast with mustard custard, duck skin and walnut Nanaimo crumble and soy cacao ganache — Stephanie said the dish "screamed" Nanaimo bar and Tom applauded the decision to take the skin off the duck and make the crumble with the skin
Paula — Cacao-rubbed braised pork belly with coconut vanilla vinaigrette roasted beets and chocolate graham cracker — Michael said he didn't really taste the cacao
Vinny — Roasted Yukon potatoes with chocolate miso glaze and caviar vin blanc — Michael loved that potatoes were the star, but Lenore thought the chocolate could have been more "forward" in the dish
Lana — Cacao gnocchi with cacao-braised lamb and pickled shallots — Stephanie said the dish was "a bit of a miss" and felt "heavy"
César — Lamb tartare with date and shallot purée, roasted carrot purée and buñuelo — Lenore enjoyed the texture of the tartare, Michael highlighted that it had a bit of sweetness to it that he enjoyed
Massimo — Lamb tartare with ras el hanout crisp, date jam, harissa and ras el hanout yogurt — Gail liked the idea of the dish and said the yogurt was "beautiful," Michael said he had a hard time tasting the date and Lenore said the texture of the tartare was "mushy"
Corwin — Jerk marinated friend chicken with miso raisin bbq sauce and cabbage slaw — Lenore said the all spice and the ginger came through really well, Stephanie said the chicken was "tender" and "succulent"
Tristen — Pepperpot with braised lamb, lamb fat madeleine and pickled grapes — Stephanie wanted to ask Tristen for the recipe for the madeleines, and Michael and Tom applauded the way the lamb was cooked
Katianna — Rye porridge with molasses glazed mushrooms, raspberry and bacon confit — Tom said the porridge was "slimy" but Lenore liked the use of the raspberry
Shuai — Tsukune with raspberry pepper jelly, tare, chilled napa and hot mustard — Gail said she didn't love the texture of the meatball, Tom said there was nothing that reminded him of a cookie and Kristen said the tare was overwhelming
Henry — Seared duck breast with brown sugar corn syrup glaze, mushroom crumb, jus and parsnip purée — Lenore wasn't sure the dish read butter tart, even though all the elements were present, Stephanie said her duck was undercooked and Gail never got the sauce
Zubair — Seared duck with sheermal, pecan and cashew korma — Stephanie appreciated the aesthetics, but said the components were a "miss," Gail said the duck was overcooked, over-rested and "almost impossible to chew," and Kristen said the wheat berries were hard
Kat, Tristen and Corwin had the judges favourite dishes of the Elimination Challenge, but ultimately Tristen was named the winner, meaning he has immunity in the next elimination challenge.
Henry, Zubair and Shuai had the least favourite dishes of the challenge, with the judges having a bit of a debate about whose dish was actually cooked the worst, leading to Zubair being eliminated, heading to Last Chance Kitchen.
But Tom quickly made the announcement that Last Chance Kitchen was starting immediately, with Zubair having to put his skills up against Bailey. And we'll find out who returns to the competition in next week's episode.

Materialists brings up the age old debate: 10 women on whether they actually care about a man's height
In Materialists, as Lucy (played by Dakota Johnson) sits across from Henry (Pedro Pascal) at an expensive restaurant, she explains to him why he's considered a 'unicorn' — in simple terms, a real, rare catch. What is it about Henry that makes him such an attractive prospect (well, apart from being played by Pascal, of course)? Well, as Lucy goes on to explain, he's handsome, rich, kind — and over 6ft tall. This summer's blockbuster, then, has reignited the age old debate: does men's height really matter in dating? Before we get into the debate, it's worth pointing out — as cheesy as this sounds — that no physical trait matters in dating nearly as much as compatibility, mutual respect, and finding a partner who makes you feel good and treats you well. Plus, despite what western beauty standards would like us to believe, there's no such thing as an ideal physicality. Still, while we all know that looks aren't everything when it comes to finding love, height does appear to be a real sticking point for many women looking to date men — to the extent that some men desperately go to extremes to gain an extra few inches (look up limb stretching, if you dare). A YouGov study from earlier this year found that 55% of women believe single people should be able to filter by height on dating apps (interestingly, 56% of men also agree on this point). Meanwhile, there are numerous research papers which suggest women generally prefer a significant height difference between them and male partners — this is likely down to evolutionary factors, such as taller men being able to protect and provide better than competitors, as well as sociocultural reasons, where we've been socialised into believing being small and petite is the same as being feminine. But in more recent years, being 6ft or taller is being touted as 'the benchmark' for attractive men. A former product manager from Bumble claimed that most women set their lower height limit for men at 6ft, which would wipe out around 85% of men in the UK (the average height of a British man is thought to be 5ft 9). A perfunctory look on TikTok merely confirms preference for especially taller guys; there are 141.9 million posts tagged '6 Foot Guy' (and who could forget last summer, when we were all looking for 6ft 5 man in finance?) Ofc, there are some notable exceptions of famously statuesque women dating men who are shorter than them — Zendaya and Tom Holland, Erin Darke and Daniel Radcliffe, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, to name just a few — but do women really want their male partners to measure up to size in the year of 2025? Or is it just a big old myth? Cosmopolitan UK asked 10 women for their thoughts on dating shorter men — and, as expected, the responses are pretty varied. 'My ex was the same height as me, 5ft 7. It didn't bother me at all. I tend to date shorter guys anyway, and I have no idea why. I guess I'm just attracted to them. I loved hugging him because I could put my arms around his shoulders and our bodies just almost became one. Honestly after a while I didn't even notice it anymore' — MissyTX via Reddit 'I am 5ft 7 and my boyfriend is 5ft 5 on a good day. I've never been big on height but, I will admit, on the first date it took some getting used to. We've honestly never even talked about it and I've gotten used to it and don't even think about it anymore." — Jenneapolis via Reddit 'I dated someone who said they were my height (5ft 5), and really the only person who found it an issue was him because he kept making jokes about how short he was and it made me want to cry.' — Katie* 'I'm 5ft 2 and I probably wouldn't want to date someone shorter than me, but that would be very short for a man I guess. I actually didn't really like dating men over 6ft when I was dating because I find standing really close to a really tall person kind of intimidating, and it makes me feel inferior. My ideal height in a partner would probably be around 5ft 10, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me.' — Beth* 'My boyfriend is shorter than me, he's 5ft 9. At the beginning of our relationship it did cause some problems (I walk fast[er than him]; holding hands while walking was kinda awkward when I wore heels), but we've figured all that out rather quickly. He's fantastic and I'm lucky to have him in my life.' — Kotacoette via Reddit 'As a 5ft 9 girlie, I would always date someone taller than me. It's mainly because of my own body insecurities that I'd want my partner to be taller, but that doesn't mean they have to be 6ft 4 — just at least an inch or two taller than me. Also think it's very selfish when super short girls date super tall guys, save some for the rest of us' — Marianne* 'Being short is an absolute deal breaker. I dated a guy that was 5ft 5, and he had short man syndrome. Never again. I'm tall and felt like a giant too.' — Send_Me_An_Angel via Reddit 'I've dated across the height spectrum and think it's all about confidence/how you wear that height. If a man can own his height, whatever it is, then that's attractive. Kendrick Lamar is 5ft 6, and could you imagine him turning up to a date and being like, 'Omg sorry I'm so short, hate my life'? Also I literally threw my neck out a couple of months ago kissing my boyfriend — who is 6ft 2 — goodbye, and literally needed physio. Sometimes there's a thing as too tall' — Jenni 'I'm 5ft 3, so I've never cared about height. My husband happens to be 6ft 3 though, but I didn't actively care whether I was with someone over 6ft… I promise!' — Clare* 'Dear Short Kings, I simply could not. I'm 5ft7 — not exactly giraffe-level, but not a height which screams damsel in distress either. If I dated someone shorter, I'd feel like a Viking Shieldmaiden preparing for battle, not a dainty delicate flower from an Austen novel. I strictly swipe right on 6ft over.' — Marie* So, there you have it. Just like with any trait in dating, some women care about height and others don't. Perhaps fitness blogger Zanna van Dijk summarises the issue best. Taking to Instagram in June this year, she wrote: 'I'm 6ft 2, my husband is shorter than me, and we met on a dating app. When I was younger, society told me that I had to date men taller than me. So if the height filter had existed back then, we probably wouldn't have matched. And that blows my mind. Because this relationship has taught me height doesn't dictate compatibility. It doesn't make someone kind. Or funny. Or supportive. Or a great life partner.' And of course, this is the point at the very heart of Materialists. The film suggests that the 'Tinderfied' nature of dating, which prioritises superficial qualities such as wealth and looks — for any gender — shouldn't supersede genuine, authentic connections. Regardless of whatever we consider our 'type' to be, it's always important to remain open-minded; the rigidity of searching for a certain type of person — seeing them not as a whole person, but as a list of attributes — may see us lose out on finding a truly happy relationship. Besides, when it comes to height, it really doesn't matter — we're all the same height lying down, after all. *Names have been changed Kimberley Bond is a Multiplatform Writer for Harper's Bazaar, focusing on the arts, culture, careers and lifestyle.

Claude the albino alligator is turning 30 — here's how San Francisco is celebrating
Claude, the California Academy of Sciences' albino alligator and longtime resident of the Steinhart Aquarium, is turning 30 this September. In honor of the milestone, the Academy is throwing a citywide, monthlong 'hatchday' celebration fit for the rare and beloved reptile. Born in 1995 at an alligator farm in Louisiana, Claude arrived at the Academy in 2008. As the first albino alligator in the museum's history, he quickly became a star attraction. Starting Sept. 1, the museum will feature daily events and giveaways, including meet-and-greets with the Claude mascot, exclusive Claude-themed merchandise, storytime readings of a new children's book, 'The Curious Color of Claude,' and hands-on art activities. Visitors can contribute to a participatory art installation designed by illustrator Nigel Sussman, where individual drawings will become 'scales' on a giant Claude sculpture. Among the highlights is the Swamp Soirée, a seated dinner on Sept. 10 with 'Top Chef' winner Melissa King. Guests are encouraged to dress in all-white, a nod to Claude's unique appearance. On Sept. 11, the Academy's 21-and-over 'NightLife' event will toast Claude with themed cocktails, live music and limited-edition screenprints. Claude's birthday bash peaks on Sept. 14, with a fish 'cake' presentation, a group singalong, cupcakes for guests and live streaming for fans worldwide. The festivities continue into Sept. 15, his actual birthday, with more cupcakes and Claude crafts. Outside the museum, Claude's celebration is spreading across San Francisco. A 'Claude Quest' on Sept. 5 will challenge participants to find plush Claudes hidden around the Bay Area. Commuters will spot Claude's face on city billboards, while others can follow the festivities online, submit birthday messages, or watch Claude via webcam.

Celebrities Whose Partners Didn't Know They Were Famous
It sounds like something out of a fanfiction — you fall in love with a beautiful stranger who just so happens to be famous. While it sounds more like a trope than true-to-life, it's surprisingly more common than you'd think! Here are 19 celebs whose partners had no idea they were famous: Maggie Gyllenhaal's husband, fellow actor Peter Sarsgaard, told People, "I met Maggie at a dinner [in 2001], and I didn't even know she was an actress. I knew nothing about her, but it was instant. Then Secretary came out maybe six months later, and I was like, 'Oh, whoa. Okay. She's not like any other actress in the world.'" Olivia Munn and NFL player Aaron Rodgers dated from 2014-2017, but she "had no idea" who he was at first. She told Conan, "When I met him, I said, 'So what do you do?' And he said, 'Oh, I play football.' And I go, 'Cool. What college?' He's like, 'Oh, no. I play professional.' And I was like, 'Cool, what position?' He's like, 'Quarterback.' 'Cool.' That was kind of it, not knowing that he's, you know, Super Bowl MVP or any of those things, but all I saw was that he was, like, really attractive. I didn't really care what he did. I was like, 'You are such a big man!'" Likewise, Aaron Rodgers's ex-fiancé, Shailene Woodley, whom he was got engaged to in 2021 but broke up with in 2022, wasn't really familiar with his career when they first met. She told The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, "I never thought I'd be engaged to someone who threw balls for a living. I never thought as a little girl, 'Yeah, when I grow up, I'm going to marry someone who throws balls, yeah!' But he's really just so good at it, and I'm very impressed... Before I met him, I'd never seen one football game before." She continued, "I didn't really grow up with sports, especially American sports. It was never really on my radar. When we met, also, I knew he was a football guy, but I didn't know what kind of a football guy he was... I don't know him as a football guy. I know him as, like, the nerd who wants to host Jeopardy. … He just happens to also be very good at sports." Tom Pelphrey didn't realize that his fiancé, Kaley Cuoco, starred in The Big Bang Theory — which was extremely popular, long-running, and multi-award winning — until his mom's partner kept calling her by her character's name. He actually "hadn't seen Kaley in anything" because he "was living in upstate New York, on a dirt road, in the middle of the woods, without much Wi-Fi" before they met. Tom told W magazine, "When I first brought Kaley to New Jersey to meet my family and friends, my mom's partner — who apparently was a Big Bang Theory fan — was there, and he kept calling her Penny. I had no clue what was going on. So I pulled Kaley aside, like, 'I'm sorry, I don't understand what's happening. Why does he keep calling you Penny?' She's like, 'That's my character in The Big Bang Theory.' I was completely unaware. I've watched a few episodes with her since, and, obviously, she's fantastic." When Richard Gere and his wife, publicist and political activist Alejandra Gere, first crossed paths, she knew he was famous, but she mistook him for a different celebrity! He told Elle Spain, "She had no idea who I was when we met. None. She didn't see movies, which was great. I was very happy about that." Alejandra cut in, "No, wait a minute. Richard, I knew who you were. I didn't see many of your movies." He added, "She thought I was George Clooney, but other than that, she knew exactly who I was." In 1976, Henry Winkler and his wife, publicist Stacey Weitzman, met at a Beverly hills clothing store. He told People, "She was wearing purple parachute pants, and she had red hair, and without her even saying a word, I thought, 'Woah, beautiful woman standing in front of me.' I came back to the store the next week, and [she] was there. And within 10 minutes, I learned how strong she is. I said, 'Would you like to go for a soda? I just have to make a quick stop to buy a wedding gift.' And she said, 'I am not a gift service!' But then she changed her mind, and we went across the street and had ginger ales." At the time, Henry was in his third season of starring as Fonzie on Happy Days, but Stacey had no clue. He told AARP Magazine, "She wanted to go to the movies. And I told her that might be difficult. She wanted to know why. I said, 'I don't know how to describe it to you.' When we got to the theater, I told her we should sit in the back. She didn't understand, so we sat in the middle of the theater. And the entire theater came over and said hello. And Stacey said, 'Oh!'" Simone Biles met her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, on the celebrity dating app Raya. He "honestly didn't know who she was" because he "never really watched gymnastics before [he] first started talking to her." On Simone's Facebook Watch docuseries, he said, "That's how I would tell people, and they're like, 'Simone Biles?! You for real, the gymnast?!' And I'm like, 'Man, she's good like that?!' Like I didn't [know]." Serena Williams first met her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, when he sat at the breakfast table next to hers at a hotel in Italy. Annoyed that he didn't pick one of the many empty tables further away, one of her friends told him he shouldn't sit there because there was a rat. She told Vanity Fair, "We were trying to get him to move and get out of there. He kind of refuses, and he looks at us. And he's like, 'Is there really a rat here?' 'No, we just don't want you sitting there. We're going to use that table.' 'I'm from Brooklyn. I see rats all the time.' 'Oh, you're not afraid of rats?' 'No.'" At that moment, Alexis was "98 percent sure" who she was. However, he'd "never watched a match on television or in real life." He told VF, "It was literally the sport — even if ESPN was announcing tennis updates, I would just zone out... I really had no respect for tennis." They talked about the tech conference he was in town to speak at, and though she didn't know what Reddit was, she pretended she did and claimed she'd been on it that very morning. They changed topics to her website, which he offered to help with. Her agent invited him to that night's tennis match, and he and Serena better connected when she later invited him to another match in Paris. Shaun White "actually didn't know anything about" his fiancé, Nina Dobrev, when they both presented at an event in Florida in 2019. Afterwards, they grabbed food together. He told People, "The place was packed. And she was like, 'Let me go see if I can get a table.'" As she spoke with the blushing host, Shaun wondered to himself if Nina had told her, "There's an old gold medalist over there who wants a table." However, when a group of employees walked over, they asked, "Can we get a photo ... with her?" Shaun said, "And I was like, 'What's happening? What's going on?' It was actually really funny." When Kristen Bell first met her husband, Dax Shepard, at a mutual friend's birthday dinner, he'd recently risen to fame on Punk'd. However, unaware of who he was, she wondered, "Is that one of the guys from Jackass or something?" On Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, she said, "The only thing I remember is that he talked so much... There were no sparks whatsoever... Two weeks later, we both met at a hockey game... We saw each to flirt. Then a day after that, I get a text that says, 'Hi, my name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna [Robertson]. How do you feel about that?' And I was like, 'Excuse me? You sound stimulating.'" Model and designer Camila Alves knew who Matthew McConaughey was and had seen his movies, but when he came into the West Hollywood club where she was hanging out, she didn't recognize him. She told Access Hollywood, "We had two interactions at the bar. The first interaction, I did not know who he was. At the time, he had a really long beard, and he had this Rasta hat. He was all covered up, and I didn't really realize who he was." However, she realized who he was after spotting Lance Armstrong, Matthew's close friend at the time. She continued, "Lance came to talk to me. You knew they were always together, so I'm like, OK, I'm outta here. I'm going to the other side of the room!" Even though she moved away, she caught his eye. Matthew told The Howard Stern Show, "So I'm healthily single at a club on Sunset. I'm not even a club guy, but this night I was a club guy. And I'm making margaritas at the end of the table, and this figure moves across the room, and I remember to myself, I go, 'What is that?' I didn't say, 'Who is that?' I said 'What is that?' ...She sits down, and I can't get my eyes off her, and I'm waving, trying to get [her attention], 'Hey, over there!' Finally catch her eye, and as soon as she looks at me, the Jiminy Cricket in me says, 'Boy, get off your ass, this is not the type of woman you call across the room.' I go over and introduce myself. I do the smart thing of inviting her and her friends over." Alexa PenaVega and her husband, Big Time Rush member Carlos PenaVega, met at a Bible study at their mutual friend's house. Their friend had invited Alexa, but Carlos had actually been invited by an ex he was hoping to rekindle a relationship with. Carlos told The War Cry, "I had known of Alexa, but she was just 'that chick from Spy Kids.' She had no idea who I was, though, and when we first met, I was completely smitten. I became so nervous I actually started quoting Spy Kids, which did not work because she told our mutual friend I was so weird." Their friend had actually been trying to get them to meet for years! Alexa said, "It was our mutual friend, Andrew, who invited us. I've known him since I was 13 years old, and Carlos has known him since he was 18, and all this time, Andrew would tell us that we were very compatible. He would always say things like, 'You have to meet. You two just have to meet,' but the timing never worked out. We were either in other relationships or just not ready to date at all. So, Andrew had invited me to his Bible study quite a few times. It was a Bible study at his house that he led, and just this one particular time, I decided, 'You know what? I'll go check it out,' and this is after a couple years of him having this Bible study, that I finally decided to go. It just so happened to be the night Carlos showed up as well." Hairdresser Danielle Jonas "didn't know who the Jonas Brothers were" when she met her husband, Kevin Jonas, on a family vacation in the Bahamas in 2007. After they first crossed paths, he saw her walking down the beach, a flower tucked in her hair, and decided to pursue a relationship with her. During his best man's toast at their 2007 wedding, Kevin's brother Joe reportedly said, "I'm the one responsible for getting them together. I hit on Danielle first." Lena Dunham's husband, musician Luis Felber, "had to Google" her before their blind date. He told The Sunday Times, "Then I went on her Instagram, and I saw her dancing to a song called 'Red Hot Pussy' in her garden in LA. Lena puts herself out there in a really special way. That was all I had to go on at the time." Rapper Cordae dated Naomi Osaka from 2019-2025, but, when they met at an LA Clippers basketball game, he wasn't aware she was a huge tennis star. He told GQ, "It's not my sport. If you asked me about tennis, before being immersed in it because of Naomi, I could only give you Venus and Serena Williams, you know? Because they're just a part of the culture." Julianna Marguilies was already known for her starring role on ER when she met her husband, attorney Keith Lieberthal. She told People, "He honestly didn't know who I was. I mean, if he had seen my work, he didn't know. He was in law school. I was like, 'There's a couple movies I don't want you to see.'" Alfonso Ribeiro met his wife, blogger Angela Unkrich, at a hotel in Beverly Hills. In a joint interview, she told Yahoo Lifestyle, "I called him my stalker. I didn't know who he was at the time. He told me he was a director, which you were. And I was very much in the 'I don't want to date anyone in entertainment' [phase]." After he made "first, second, third moves," she agreed to go out with him and made a reservation at a restaurant. However, unbeknownst to him, she actually planned to ditch the date early so she could go home and watch the new Grey's Anatomy. She said, "I don't think it was more than 10 minutes that went by, and I was like, 'Huh, he's different than I thought.'" Lily Allen and her husband, David Harbour, whom she separated from in 2025, met when they matched on Raya. She told the Jonathan Ross Show, "It was the first time I'd been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David's profile and pressed accept. I didn't know who he was. I thought he was just, like, a sexy policeman from a reality TV show. He was wearing a policeman's uniform. It was a still from Stranger Things. I'd never seen Stranger Things." And finally, while Michael Cera was promoting Arrested Development in Paris, he met his wife, Nadine Cera, in a bar. In Paris to study, she had no clue who Michael was. He told the Guardian, "We trip out about that all the time. It's completely unlikely that we would ever meet... She thought I was Swedish until we spoke. I didn't know if she would speak English, and if we would even have a chance to talk, and it was very lucky that she did because we wouldn't have a son, we wouldn't have a relationship."
