Okay folks, 29-year-old brother Hung won last night's final Top Chef competition! Rocco DiSpirito was his sous chef. There was a pork belly melt down by one of the other contestants. Hung admits that getting told by the judges that his food had no soul hurt him -- like getting hit by a truck. Maybe that was a good thing.
He stepped things up and came through with this menu:
1) Prawns, Palm Sugar Coconut Glaze, Cucumber Radish Salad and Ocean Scented Rice
2) Hamachi, Potato Chips, Tomato Vinaigrette & Olive Oil Powder
3) Duck with Truffle Scented Broth & Mushroom Ragout
4) Chocolate Cake with Raspberry and Nougoutine Tuile
