Jennifer Carroll's Life After Top Chef Premieres October 3

Word just came from Bravo TV that the long-awaited Life After Top Chef will premiere on October 3 at 10 p.m. Our favorite badass blonde, Jennifer Carroll, is one of the stars of the show, along with fellow former contestants Spike Mendelsohn, Fabio Viviani, and Richard Blais. The program follows the foursome around separately, each trying to deal with newfound fame and expectations after being part of Bravo's popular cooking competition.

In Carroll's case, we see her truly vulnerable for the very first time, dealing with very sick parents, and the struggle of opening a debut restaurant after working for almost a decade under superchef Eric Ripert. There are some seriously heartfelt moments in the trailer, which is posted below. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels also makes an appearance, as does Carroll driving an off-road sprint car. It's a lot to cram into a 72 second trailer, but you should check it out for yourself.
