#977. Top Chef Season 23 winner Rhoda Magbitang (instagram.com/rockyrhodakill/?hl=en) is fresh off the win and she’s taking KB behind the scenes of what it actually takes to get there. Rhoda opens up about moving to the U.S. at 17, working two jobs while putting herself through culinary school, and navigating male-dominated kitchens. Plus, why she finally said yes to the competition she spent years avoiding.
Rhoda also reveals what Top Chef viewers don’t see, why she hated everything she cooked on the show, and how reality TV messed with her confidence. Then things get a little less serious when KB puts her chef opinions to the test: ketchup on eggs, ranch on pizza, truffle oil, jarred garlic, and one VERY unexpected death row meal.
Come for the Top Chef BTS, stay to find out which food trend Rhoda is sending straight to jail.
