Chef Manny Barella went into the premiere episode of Bravo’s “Top Chef” Season 21 terrified of being eliminated first.
Chef Manny Barella is hosting four-course pop-up dinners at Cantina Loca in LoHi from March 25 to April 2.
Barella was approached to join “Top Chef” after an outstanding 2022, where he was nominated for a James Beard Award and earned“Top Chef” Season 21 was filmed in Wisconsin last summer. And it was perfect timing for Barella, who had just joined Thompson’s restaurant group months prior. “I was very grateful I got to do this at a time when I have no kids, the restaurants hadn’t broken ground yet, and I could remove myself without as many responsibilities.
Barella, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, got the soup category and immediately knew he’d make a pozole. “Even if it was the only dish I made on ‘Top Chef,’ I wanted it to be Mexican,” he said. In the end, judges and chefs Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Milwaukee restaurateur Paul Bartolotta and Kristen Kish, Season 10 winner and the new host, crowned Barella supreme.
