Inviting 16 past winners and finalists from 11 localized versions of the show to compete in what's being billed as "the fiercest battle the culinary competition has ever seen" and for the "ultimate" title, Top Chef has tinkered with the old recipe for its 20th season, World All-Stars.

Before anyone throws a Gordon Ramsey-esque hissy-fit, rest assured that the much-loved format remains much the same as before. It's just that the bar has been raised even higher, and for the first time, the entire season takes place abroad.

The majority of the action unfolds in London and the UK, home of the humble supermarket Meal Deal, of world famous Michelin-starred restaurants, of chips, mash and roasties – sometimes all on the same plate – and the wonderful local hangouts, kebab shops, greasy spoons and pubs that are most dearly beloved of all.

For the grand finale the remaining contenders will venture to Paris, where Helene Darroze, Alain Ducasse and Simon Rogan will head up a snarling cohort of heavyweight chefs scrutinizing their every move.

Those pan-seared scallops aren't all the same size. This morsel of 36-day dry-aged ribeye got stuck in my teeth. What a waste of foie gras. It's little wonder the trailer shows so many of our contestants literally falling flat on their faces!

They'll also receive guidance from a rotating cast of guest judges and mentors, including Angela Hartnett, Asma Khan and Clare Smyth, who will also hand over the keys to her restaurant for this season's Restaurant Wars. Former Premier League football player Ledley King will also make an appearance. Seeing as his legendary status in England is unlikely to translate to an international audience, that could be... interesting.

As ever, Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons will be on hand to dish out the challenges, steer our contestants through the tough times, and reveal who goes through and who goes home. Here's how to watch Top Chef season 20 online where you are.
