Today’s guest is Rhoda Magbitang, winner of “Top Chef” Season 23 and executive chef of CanoeHouse at the Mauna Lani Auberge Collection resort on Hawaii’s Big Island. Rhoda joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her “Top Chef” journey, from getting cast to her Last Chance Kitchen redemption to winning it all with a deeply personal Filipino finale menu. They discuss Rhoda’s remarkable path from the Philippines to California at age 17, her time cooking in some of L.A.’s top kitchens, and how she found her way to Hawaii. Plus, Rhoda talks about the special dinners she’s cooking in New York City and what’s happening at CanoeHouse.
