Hung Huynh, who was the winner of Top Chef’s third season, has accepted a one month contract as executive chef of Solo Restaurant (New York).
We wonder how he’ll add his unique Asian touch to the Solo’s Meditteranean menu.

Chefs are a notoriously snooty lot, and when Top Chef first debuted, it sent most of them snickering. Many of them don’ even like TV chefs or celebrity chefs — a chef selected from a reality show was even lower down the totem pole.
Not anymore. Some say that thanks to the success of the first three seasons, and the thumbs up it has received from well respected chefs (who even appeared in the panel of judges) the show has actually legitimized itself.
Too bad Rachael Ray can’t join.

Ted Allen from Top Chef gives a fun, thorough and easy-to-follow video on how to cook a bone-in-shoulder. “The secret,” he says, “is to cook it long and slow.” It’s worth the wait. That roast looks heavenly!
Plus, it takes just minutes to marinate, and you can go on with the rest of your life while the food cooks.

Wylie Dufresne is known in the culinary world for his unique approach to cooking (“molecular gastronomy”) that combinies the science and art of making a perfect meal. Fascinating factoid: he was actually a philosophy major!
He recently guested on Top Chef, and granted an excellent one on one interview with his comments on each Top Chef contestant.

There’s one thing Top Chef always guarantees — not everyone may know how to cook well, but their personalities are sure to add spice to the show. Glimpse a bit of the fun and craziness in the kitchen with this photo diary.
