Amar Santana Wins Chef Of The Year Thanks To TikTok

Top Chef finalist Amar Santana just got named Chef of the Year after a random influencer saved his restaurant from being a ghost town. I have seen some wild things, but watching a culinary master realize his Michelin dreams were actually in the hands of a 19-year-old with a ring light is the ultimate cringe. Imagine sweating over a stove for twenty years just to find out your secret ingredient wasn't saffron—it was a kid who uses 'bussin' as a synonym for seasoning.
