Bravo’s Top Chef’s 7th season premiered Wednesday, June 17, featuring the WashingtonD.C. and a new guest judge on the panel, Eric Ripert. Seventeen brand new contestants couldn’t spend a minute admiring the Nation’s Capitol or their new living digs. They got right to the task at hand:vying for the title of Top Chef. Before we get ahead of ourselves, however, it’s time to take a look at the new contestants:
Alex Reznik (II), 33, Hollywood, Exec. Chef, Ivan Kane’s Cave Was.
His first impression on taking on D.C. for the Top Chef contest is that there are so many great chefs in D.C., so it’s a perfect place for Season 7. Alex has a diverse geographic background. His hometown is Brooklyn, he did his studies in Vegas, traveled throughout Europe and now he resides in Hollywood. More important than that as an influence, Alex is a first-generation American, and he watched his mother and grandmother preparing traditional Russian food on a daily basis. His take on cooking is to combine local, seasonal ingredients with the classic French style of cooking to come up with California bistro cuisine.
