Top Chef Tips

Auditions for the next Top Chef season are coming to Miami October 25. We asked former local Top Chef contestants and guest judges to share their tips for aspiring contestants. Michael's Genuine's Michael Shwartz: "Be yourself. You gotta prepare. You need to identify your weaknesses and improve on them because they'll exploit them. Cleary it's a great opportunity for exposure, so if I have to hear another chef say they don't know how to do pastries, they need to figure out how before they get on the show so they don't screw it up."
