Chef Ken Myszka from Epiphany Farm says his good friend and Top Chef Season 3 winner, Hung Huynh, will help cook at the location for the next four weeks. Myszka spoke with WJBC’s Scott Miller.

“Over the years he has come to Bloomington to help us out and be apart of Epiphany Farms and Anju Above. Ten years ago he actually helped launch Anju and create some of those recipes,” Myszka said.

After coming out as the Top Chef back in 2007, Huynh went on to serve as the executive chef at New York City’s Catch, The General, and Catch Miami.

Myszka says his friendship with Huynh dates back to being roommates out in Las Vegas.

“He has a gap between his job and he is coming out here for four weeks to take up residency in Bloomington and help me cook at the location,” said Myszka.

Epiphany Farms is located at 220 E Front St. in Bloomington.
