Wow!!! I am officially in the top 8! To go from tens of thousands of contestants to top 8 is not only a true honor but a testament to changing careers. I wanted to go onto Masterchef to show that you can change careers and become very successful at doing so. When it comes down to it, if you truly passionate at something and think that it might be worthwhile to take a chance in doing it, why not take that leap of faith...in yourself! It was only a year ago where I wanted to pursue the culinary arts as something more than just a hobby. During my first open house at Le Cordon Bleu last July, I realized that this can be more than a Hobby. Everything from going into the open house, to my first round of auditions with MasterChef at the Le Cordon Bleu, to being on the show, to collaborating with phenomenal Chefs around the city during the MasterChef Viewing Parties. Today we are hosting it at Krolls in the South Loop where we have put some Indian influence in Southern Cuisine. One of the menu items uses classic french technique. We braise buffalo short ribs with a sachet, mirepoix, added the Traditional Lakhanpal Garam Masala, and Citrus. We then Beurre monté with a Tamarind Glaze. Overall, I am still trying to find my culinary style, but what I've been able to do successfully in Chicago is marry various types of cuisine with Indian influence! I hope you guys enjoy the show tonight- its going to be a great episode!!!!!
