On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, Harold Dieterle, may be best know for being the first winner of Bravo’s Top Chef, but it took much longer than one season of television to ready him for competition. Hear about how Harold grew up with Sicilian Sunday suppers, traveled to Spain, too his two-star education on Long Island to Manhattan and the maturation that came with that move. As chef/owner of West Village neighborhood restaurant, Perilla, and contemporary Thai offshoot, Kin Shop, Harold continually challenges himself with new flavors and cuisines, even outside of TV.
