5 days ago'Top Chef' Winner Mei Lin Steps Away From 88 Club and Daybird
Mei Lin has left her restaurants Daybird and 88 Club to focus on personal growth and future projects in modern Chinese cuisine.
After winning "Top Chef," Mei Lin became a culinary force in Los Angeles with the now-closed Nightshade and her still-popular fast-casual spot Daybird. At her new 88 Club in Beverly Hills, Lin explores Chinese and Chinese American in a posh fine-dining setting. Her prawn toast is a brilliant take on the Cantonese snack and her nam yu chicken is universal comfort food, but other dishes are less fully realized.
