ATC Love to Chef Kuniko Yagi

Top Chef is starting to seem like Project Runway this season, "one week you're in, the next week, you're out." So it went for Chef Kuniko, who happened to win last week's Elimination Challenge. This week, she was so busy helping her teammates prepare their dishes, she ran out of time to make her own. Her potato pave was underseasoned and undercooked.

Chef Yagi - we're a little shocked to see you go so soon, but wish you the best for the future.

Congratulations, Chef Kuniko Yagi!

Although Chef Yagi claimed not to have a command of the English language, she certainly seems to be able to find her way around a rotating kitchen just fine. Her idea of poaching cod in a chile oil impressed her teammates, and the flavor and doneness impressed the judges enough to earn her the first win of the season.


Congrats, Chef Yagi - we hope you'll be around for many weeks to come
