Watch an Exclusive Sneak Peek of the 'Top Chef: World All-Stars' Finale

Thirteen weeks ago, sixteen winners and finalists from Top Chef series that spanned the globe came together for a true culinary Olympics in Top Chef: World All-Stars. And after a season full of intense challenges, unforgettable friendships, and incredible food, only three remain in the hunt: Top Chef: Houston winner Buddha Lo, Top Chef: Kentucky runner-up Sara Bradley, and Top Chef México season 2 winner Gabri Rodriguez.

In the clip below, the finalists take some time away from prepping the most important dinner of their lives to attend a special treat. Sitting down with judges Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons, they're treated to a meal cooked by renowned French chef Hélène Darroze. Through the excellent food, Buddha talks about never thinking he'd have the opportunity to return, Sara expresses how she wants to show big names can cook in small towns, and Gabri highlights the Mexican community that he is cooking for.

"Thank you for a beautiful season of food, laughter, and a lot of tears," Padma tells the cheftestants. "I hope you cook the best food of your own careers and lives and remember every moment." It's fitting for her to have the last word in this scene, as the host and judge announced this would be her final season on the Emmy-winning show.

The Top Chef: World All-Stars finale airs tonight at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
