“I’m truly honored to be a part of this iconic season. Winning back-to-back seasons of ‘Top Chef’ feels surreal,” Lo said. “It’s been an incredible journey from the moment I was called to Houston all the way to the finale in Paris. Being raised in Australia with parents from Hong Kong and Malaysia, my food represents different parts of the globe, and to compete against chefs at the top of their game from around the world was a dream come true. It was the ultimate competition.
In the finale in Paris, Lo, Sara Bradley, and Gabri Rodriguez cooked for Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons along with guests including culinary stars Marcus Samuelsson, May Chow, Daniela Soto-Innes, Clare Smyth, Simon Rogan, Ángel León, Food & Wine magazine’s Editor in Chief Hunter Lewis, Michelin Guides’ International Director Gwendal Poullennec and “Top Chef France” judge Hélène Darroze.
“Top Chef” is produced by production company Magical Elves, with Casey Kriley, Jo Sharon, Doneen Arquines, Hillary Olsen and Tracy Tong serving as executive producers.
