Have you kept in touch with any of your fellow Top Chef contestants?

Wolfgang Puck was the first chef you worked under?! Wow. Good on you to have the guts to even apply to work there as your first job.

Awesome! Thanks for the response. Glad to hear you're still in touch with your "cousin" ;)

Along these same lines, do you think it would be difficult for a chef to break into the culinary scene in Los Angeles? You have a great set up where you are, but for someone new - without connections - what would be the first step in finding a good kitchen gig?
