Featuring the Two-Time Top Chef Winner and Celebrated Chef/Co-Owner of Huso
Join Buddha Lo—the only chef to win back-to-back seasons of Top Chef—for a dinner inspired by the inventive dishes he showcased on the new competition series America's Culinary Cup, hosted by Padma Lakshmi.
Lo’s culinary career began in Port Douglas, Australia, where he grew up working in his family’s Chinese restaurant before training in some of the world’s most respected kitchens and relocating to New York City to join the team at Eleven Madison Park. Today, he is the executive chef/co-owner of Huso in Tribeca, where he presents meticulously crafted tasting menus that highlight his culinary adeptness, luxury ingredients, and global influences.
For this one-night-only dinner, Lo will revisit a selection of dishes inspired by his time on television—giving diners the rare opportunity to taste the kind of creative cooking usually seen only under the pressure of the competition clock.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
