Lily Hall chef wins ‘Chopped’

Lily Hall Chef Darian Hernandez and his partner Chef Izzy Buasier from New Jersey won the “Blind Date” competition on the Food Network’s “Chopped” last night.

The team will split $10,000 prize and receive an extended stay in New York City and a multi-course meal at Beauty & Essex, a restaurant owned by celebrity judge Chris Santos.

Here is my interview with Chef Hernandez yesterday. His restaurant Brother Fox opens Thursday at Lily Hall.
