Hanging With Hung

Last Friday afternoon at the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen, I had the chance to hang out with Top Chef Season 3 winner Hung Huynh.

Last Friday afternoon at the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen, I had the chance to hang out with Top Chef Season 3 winner Hung Huynh. As part of his prize, Hung was invited to appear at the Classic Cook-Off on Sunday. In between attending seminars and sipping wine, Hung and I met up outside the grand-tasting tent.

An approachable, friendly guy, Hung isn't afraid to say hello to fans or cook dinner for 150 people. Although he was sometimes portrayed as a villain on TC, in real life, Hung is just an ordinary guy who cooks really well. To learn more about Hung, read more

2007's Favorite Foodie Reality Show Is...

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you what your favorite foodie reality show of 2007 is.

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you what your favorite foodie reality show of 2007 is. The response was phenomenal and Top Chef won by a huge landslide.

We debated a bit here at the YumSugar HQ, however in the end Top Chef won us over as well. This year we almost had a female winner — maybe next year it'll finally happen? — and the competition was front and center. While the other shows also entertained, I loved the way Top Chef constantly had a mix of drama — but not too much — and really delicious looking eats. Also, their guest judges constantly kept things interesting and the local Miami produce and backdrop really added to the fun.

Do you agree or disagree? Let us know in the comments!

Do You Agree With the "Top Chef" Fan Favorite Result? Last night, Bravo aired the "Top Chef 3" reunion special. The entire event was geared up to reveal the fan favorite [spoiler alert] and show you behind-the-scenes clips. Personally, I thought it was a bit of a snooze, but I know there are some rabid fans who eat up all that behind-the-scenes stuff.

Personally, I thought it was a bit of a snooze, but I know there are some rabid fans who eat up all that behind-the-scenes stuff. Also, I was really surprised that Casey won the fan favorite award. I totally thought it would be Tre or Dale. Speaking of Dale, he definitely had the quote of the night; when asked about his "type" he said, "Beauty's only a light switch away." Surely someone this cheeky would've been crowned fan favorite?
