STAGE TUBE: Paul Qui Wins Bravo's TOP CHEF TEXAS!

On last night's finale of Bravo's TOP CHEF TEXAS, the two remaining chefs were challenged to take over a restaurant in Vancouver where they had the chance to design a four-course meal for the judges and unbeknownst to them, friends, and family. In the end, it was 31-year-old Chef Paul Qui, who hails from Houston, Texas, who emerged victorious in the competition. 

Paul Qui is executive chef at Uchiko restaurant in Austin, Texas. Born in Manila, Philippines and trained in classic French and Japanese cuisine, Paul takes a modernist approach towards food, where there are no boundaries. Starting as a stage, Paul worked his way up the ranks of Uchi to Chef de Cuisine and eventually Executive Chef at Uchiko. While training under Uchi Chef and Owner Tyson Cole, Paul learned to adapt traditional Japanese dishes with an eye towards local flavor, all while incorporating influences from South East Asian and European cuisine.
