Top Chef Canada Season 11
Top Chef Canada is a reality competition show. The first season premiered on April 11, 2011 on Food Network Canada. The first season consisted of 13 episodes, with 16 contestants vying for a grand prize of $100,000 and a GE Monogram kitchen valued at $30,000.

Contestants are judged by a panel of professional chefs and other notables from the food and wine industry, with one or more contestants being eliminated each week.
