Two Houston chefs packed their knives and traveled to Toronto to compete on the new season of Top Chef. Bravo revealed the person cast for season 22 of the show, which was filmed in various parts of Canada and will premier on Thursday, March Both chefs bring impressive resumes to the competition, although one is likely more familiar to Houstonians.

Throughout the season, the contestants will explore different parts of Canada, including Toronto, Calgary, and Banff National Park. From Four Weddings and a Funeral to The Wedding Singer to Wedding Crashers to Bridesmaids and beyond, the act of two people getting married provides plenty of opportunities for conflict, mixups, and mayhem on which comedies often thrive.
Both have a connection to the Palmetto Hotel, and both think they have secured the first Saturday in June for the wedding of their family members. The confusion over finding out the venue has been double-booked is initially met with reason and compromise. Written and directed by Nicholas Stoller Neighbors , Bros , the film is heavily dependent on the talents of its two stars.
Stoller actually sets up the various quirks and tensions between the two groups well, but it's the execution of the subsequent scenes that is lacking. Some scenes are cut short before they reach a good resolution, and others are extended well past the point of being funny. The film mostly suffers from giving too much in certain situations and not enough in others. Jenni has a mostly anonymous group of female friends, portrayed by actors who all seem to have been given instructions to act over the top at all times, a trait that is more annoying than amusing.
