‘Top Chef’ Fan Favorite Reveals Huge Weight Loss Amid Return
A Top Chef fan favorite recently shocked audiences while showing off stunning weight loss. This particular fan favorite from the show made a return to the program, and showed off drastic weight loss while doing it. So, what do we know about this popular personality, and what do they look like now?
Top Chef Has Been A Popular Show For Many Years
Cooking shows are a dime a dozen these days, but, it’s a format that viewers can’t seem to get enough of. Whether it’s Hell’s Kitchen, Chopped, or something else, the collective fascination with cooking shows and the celebrity chef personas who often lead them is a very lucrative industry.
In the space of cooking competition shows, Top Chef is a program that continues to stand the test of time. Top Chef premiered all the way back in 2006, and it is a show that continues to draw audiences, even all of these years later.
Chefs compete against each other in various cooking challenges throughout the season. Based on the prize at stake for Season 22, this season’s winner will get $250k in cash, as well as Delta Diamond Medallion status, a $125k flight credit to use with Delta, as well as a Food & Wine magazine feature.
If that were not enough, the winner will also appear at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. The winner will also headline their own, exclusive dinner at the James Beard House in New York, as well as the opportunity to be a presenter at The James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards in Chicago.
Top Chef Fan Favorite Shows Off Stunning Weight Loss In Return To Show
Top Chef Season 19 winner and Top Chef: World All Stars winner Buddha Lo returned as a guest judge for Season 22. However, the fact that he showed up was not the only shock, but rather, the fact that he showed up much slimmer than people are used to seeing him.
Buddha Lo returned as a guest judge, and not only did Top Chef fans love seeing him, but, viewers also noticed that he clearly dropped some pounds since the last time that fans of the show saw him.
Along with winning his season of the show and progressing his career, he is now the chef and co-owner of a fine dining restaurant in Manhattan called Huso. So, he has been able to use his Top Chef fame to launch himself into even greener pastures.
If that were not enough, this fan favorite also became a father of two. Lo and his wife welcomed twin daughters near the end of 2023. So, a lot has happened for Buddha in a relatively short time frame. His success is something that Top Chef competitors can only dream of, and now, he has a much slimmer figure to go along with all of his other achievements.
