Let’s root for our hometown boy extra hard this season.  His restaurants have had to close due to the pandemic.  What a nice pick me up from the past year to win over the nation on Top Chef.

Unlike other reality shows this one really has the chops to take a talented chef to the next level.

Bravo (yes pun intended) Mr. Nakajima.  The Great Northwest is pulling for you sir!
