Chicago Woman takes “Top Chef” title
After three season’s of men capturing the title of “Top Chef,” Chicago native, Stephanie Izard became the first woman to win the title.
Izard appeared to be stunned by saying “”What? Really? Oh my God, thank you” as Padma Lakshmi, the show’s host, gave the results during Wednesdays night’s finale.
It was a night of surprises. First the celebrity chefs that served as the contestants called in “sick” leaving the contents to cook it out for themselves.
Second, during the final interview with the judges, rather than selling his skills Richard said he choked. And while the judges agreed, what the heck was he thinking? Finally, LIsa. This fiery chef seemed to come from behind and nearly pulled out a win. It appeared it was her appetizer course that was too hot for the judges to handle.
So, after 14 episodes and 3 seasons the “Top Chef” title finally goes to a woman. Congrats!
How would you rate this season - Undercooked? Well-done? of cooked to perfection?
