"My ranking in my current Top Chef fantasy league, I'm leading it," she went on.

"So that's going very well."

"I'm saying this just because I want to achieve my other dream job of being a guest judge on Quickfire," Amy referred to the challenges on the cooking competition show. 

"I'm so ready to be like: 'There's so many ideas on this plate, but it just didn't come together."

"So you're here to play Jeopardy! Masters, but you're also stealth-auditioning for Top Chef. Is that right?" Ken joked.

"A little bit," Amy confirmed.

"We'll let you get away with it," the host ended with. 

"The Bravo Top Chef judge we’ve all been waiting to see," the caption stated.
