Ep 17 - Jamie Tran Talks Top Chef

We hang with Top Chef Portland's fan favorite, and Las Vegas' own, Jamie Tran! Also along for the ride is this week's co-host Mercy Baron. She's host of the "All Forked Up" podcast, a certified master barbecue judge, author of the Baron's Barbecue Beat website, and administrator of the Las Vegas and San Diego Food Fanatics pages on Facebook. Jamie tells all about Top Chef, including her reluctance to appear, her comeback from elimination and why she tried to accept elimination instead of seeing a fellow competitor leave the show. One hint: those rushing-to-beat-the-clock moments are real! She also shares the inspiration for the Vietnamese-inspired American comfort food she serves up at her restaurant Black Sheep. Could there be more in the future? You'll have to listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
