Becoming a guest judge on Top Chef is harder than you might have thought. Actress Brittany Snow was just on Watch What Happens Live, and she revealed that she was “begging” for the gig for ages. Thankfully, someone finally made her wish come true, but they really made her work for it!
Brittany Snow appeared on WWHL with Andy Cohen alongside Dakota Fanning
The November 6 episode of WWHL didn’t have any Bravolebrities, but they definitely had Bravo super fans. Brittany and Dakota Fanning were the guests, and they both understood the assignment.
Dakota dished about her favorite Real Housewives star and seemed fully up to date on the latest drama. Meanwhile, Brittany revealed to Andy Cohen how much she loves Top Chef, but it took her forever to get a guest judge spot on it.
“I’ve seen every single episode,” she told Andy. “I’ve been begging to get on the show for, like, 20 years, and they said no for a long time, and then they finally let me on.”
The dream finally came true during Season 21 Episode 7, “Sausage Race.” Brittany ventured to Wisconsin and got to sample a bunch of sausagey dishes. Sounds easy enough, and obviously has plenty of experience in front of the camera. However, said she almost froze up on the Top Chef set.
“The first time they came to me, and it was my time to shine and I actually had to say something, I got so nervous that I blacked out and I said, ‘I like that the meal is in sections,’” Brittany recalled. “And they said in my ear, ‘Brittany, do you want to take that again?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely!’”
She continued, “What you see in the show is not me saying, I like that it’s in sections, because that’s insane.”
Ultimately, the experience was a dream come true for Brittany, sections or not. She said getting to guest judge on Top Chef was “everything,” and surely, the sausage was good, too.
Top Chef is streaming on Peacock.
