Adrienne and Joe are back with another guest, and this week they’re joined by two-time Top Chef champion Buddha Lo. He fills them in on his latest culinary ambitions following the move of his home restaurant Huso into a bigger space (Michelin star incoming?). Plus, we discuss:

  • Fork It or Forget It: Caviar on Fried Chicken (and the latest in condiment mania)

  • Review Review: restaurant no-shows are a big no-no 

  • Picking the right knife: suggestions from all three chefs for what you should buy

  • Mentor Moment: Buddha’s tough-love training as a young chef

  • Walk-In Confession (Top Chef Edition): Buddha tells us how to handle the heat even when your Top Chef dish is burning
