Season 21 on Wednesday evening. He beat out the other finalists, Dan Jacobs and Savannah Miller, to go home with the coveted honor.The Largest Private Wine Collection Ever Auctioned Is Heading to Sotheby’s“The way I was able to cook food on the show is you put five ingredients on the plate and take off two and be okay with that plate being good with three ingredients or even less,” Garcia told.
For the final challenge, the chefs were tasked with cooking up a four-course feast, “the best four-course meal of your lives,” as the host Kristen Kish put it. Garcia opted for a menu inspired by his family’s Puerto Rican and Dominican roots: scallop and habanero leche de tigre, smoked mussels with plantains and cabbage, spiny lobster with salsa matcha and squash, and a take on piragua con leche with melon sorbet and avocado yogurt.
Garcia is pushing forward to open SHG’s new restaurant 360 Park Avenue this fall. The 140-seat space will be inspired by classic New York haunts like the Grand Central Oyster Bar, Kent told “It’s taking a classic N.Y.C. steakhouse and thinking about it through the lens of a seafood restaurant,” he told the magazine. “Finding global seafood, finding sustainable seafood, finding seafood that’s in season and giving New Yorkers something that they have not seen or tasted before and just being a seafood restaurant of my generation.”Tori Latham is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
