‘Top Chef: World All-Stars’ Winner Buddha Lo Breaks Down His Historic Victory
It's a huge sigh of relief. It's a very hard secret to keep. The first thing that you want to do is scream and tell everyone what happened. This was filmed in October. The news is out. We've got my family here, and we had a great time. And it's just been an amazing couple of days.
I all looked very tight. I think everyone had a really, really good chance of winning. It's hard to say. Sara did have a liver problem. And it kind of makes one course redundant. If you score three 10's, and someone else scores four 8's, that's still 32 over 30. So, it's a very hard way to judge. I didn't get to taste any of their dishes. But it was a very tight finale, for sure.
I said in season 19, my golden rule is, if I made the finale, I'm not going to just do dishes because I like them. Or saying, "I would have liked these amazing dishes that would have been in the finale, but it just didn't tie into anything that made sense." Why would I have put it on there? Even though it could have been a great menu, it didn't say anything about the significance of who I am or why I put these dishes up in front of these esteemed judges or chefs.
