Top Chef Season 3 Finale

What a big twist for the finale this season on Top Chef. Usually the finale consists of 2 chefs that get some help from the previously eliminated contestants. This time it's three chefs in the finale and they also get the help of three former judges.

The chef tag-team:
Hung and Rocco Dispirito
Casey and Michelle Bernstein
Dale and Todd English

And the winner is....Hung, executive sous chef at Guy Savoy in Vegas. I don't like him personally, but he is definitely the best technician and deserved to win based on his amazing final menu. Todd English commented the sous vide duck could have been served at a three star michelin restaurant. Also, the dish was Tom Colicciho's favorite dish of the finale.

Hung's winning menu -
  • "Fish and Chips" Raw Hamachi, Crispy Potatoes, Olive Oil and Tomato Vinaigrette
  • Shrimp with Palm Sugar, Cucumber Salad, and Coconut Foam
  • Sous Vide Duck with Mushroom Ragout and Truffle Sauce
  • Chocolate Cake with Raspberries and Nougatine Tuile
