During the finale for the third season of Bravo’s competitive reality television series Top Chef, culinary expert Hung Hyunh emerged the winner and the literal top chef of the contest. Hyunh remained a frontrunner and savvy contender throughout the season, with Tre Wilcox being his closest rival, though Wilcox was eventually eliminated at around midway through the competition. Once his rival was gone, Hyunh did not consider anyone else a possible danger to his ultimate win. He busted his butt and flourished as he diligently put forth all of his cooking skill and effort, with a mild hint of arrogance, though it was arrogance born of one who knows he’s the best and is ready and willing to prove it.
During the second part of the season finale, the competing chefs were instructed to whip up a three course meal, which actually turned out to be four courses due to a surprise addition from the judges. The chefs were given the option of using the ingredients they had taken with them to Aspen, a prospect which excited Hyunh. During a post-game interview, the Top Chef champion said that he viewed it as a chance to prove himself once and for all to the judges. He had previously been criticized for what they said was a lack of passion, and that they couldn’t see or feel him coming across in his food.
The final three chefs for the contest were Hyunh, Casey Thompson, and Dale Levitski. For the challenge, they were also backed up by sous chefs who helped them prepare their various courses. But in a pleasant surprise, the assistants turned out to be world-renowned chefs themselves, with a high degree of skill. Rocco DiSpirito, a chef well-known for his Italian-American cuisine and his fusion recipes, was assigned to Hyunh. Both of them meshed well, even sharing similar cocky demeanors.
