News and rumors about the new season:

Clues from the Emmys and from Tom/Padma's social media indicate that the new season is filming now
The location could be Portland
A new spinoff series called Top Chef Amateurs will be filmed after season 18

Top Chef 18 is filming now—in Portland? Top Chef Amateurs is up next - realityblurred

Top Chef Amateurs sounds like they are trying to do a British Bake Off-type show for home cooks. Could be interesting...

Be on the lookout for other news/hints!

Some more info on Top Chef Amateurs -- Gail will be hosting:

Details about Top Chef Amateurs, which Gail Simmons will host - realityblurred

It will air on Bravo in 2021, and it is filming in Portland right after the new Top Chef season is done. It will also use several veteran Top Chef contestants as guests judges/diners, much like they are being used in the new season. I assume this is because they have all been staying inside the production bubble during the pandemic.
