Top Chef – Chicago
June 14th, 2008 | by Masa |
This year’s Top Chef was announced recently. Stephanie Izard, 31 years old, who is from Connecticut and currently resides in Chicago, won the position of new Top Chef after 13 rounds of tough challenges. And overall, I’m satisfied with the show this year. My final three guess was Stephanie, Richard, and Dale. Stephanie has an accurate and sophisticated sense of taste. Richard has a very unique technique using his cooking gadgets, which few good chefs are familiar with. Dale has a strong personality and he is very passionate about foods, and it seemed his Asian fusion foods fit to my taste. It’s too bad that the Chef from a restaurant, Circa was eliminated so early in this show. Circa is a well known restaurant in Marine district in San Francisco. I’ve been there a few times, but their Ahi Tuna Tartare with a crispy chips is my favorite. Also, their Pork Chop is super tender and the best Pork Chop I’ve ever had (although I normally don’t order Pork Chop at restaurants.) Anyways, congratulation to Stephanie!!
