-New York
-Well, who'dja think was going to win it?
FFer Lisa Choi continued her absolute and total domination of the NCA's Most Fiery (With a Pan) award Tuesday, winning it for her eighth time. Choi has now won in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. And, fellow FF chef Lynn Avi, also noted for her "flare-ish" qualities, took home this honor in 2006 and 2008, meaning nobody other than Choi or Avi has won the Most Fiery trophy since 2002, a decade ago. Oh, by the way, Avi was also second in this year's vote.
Choi swept away the competition as always, and by an even bigger margin this year. In 2011, Choi had 73% of the vote, and Avi was second with 6%; this year, Choi washed over her fellow nominees with 86% of respondents marking her as the best chef with fiery and flaming foods in the NCA. It's these superior qualities of Choi's that have her in line for a potential MVC at Feast Fest come Nov. 22; she's been simply monstrous (in a good way, of course!) at the exhibitions this year, and hasn't received an MVC since 2004, making her all but due.
"Very excited to hear about winning MFWAP yet again," Choi wrote in an email late Monday. "There are so many other great culinary paragons deserving of this award, and the fact that this is the eighth time I have been honored with it makes me extremely grateful to the NCA for their consistent recognition of my culinary qualities." And, she had a message to the NCA as well. "Really! Give it to somebody else. They deserve it, and, besides, I don't even know how on my shelf I'm going to make room for this one!"
