He’s the only contestant to claim the title in back-to-back years and the first champion of Top Chef: World All Stars, a twist on the show in which all competitors were winners or runners-up of previous seasons.
Living in New York City now, though he’s quite far from home, Lo knows he’s where he’s meant to be.
“I don’t miss it at all,” he says about the slow pace of Port Douglas. “I grew up spending more than half my life there. I know that it’s always going to be there, so I don’t have any sort of regrets of not going back at the moment. I just want to

In 1752, Britain changed its calendar from the old “Julian” style to the Gregorian version that most of Europe was already using.
