Top Chef star serves signature pastry at Sum Bar
Top Chef fans in Greenville got the chance to meet Season 23's runner-up Chef Laurence Louie and taste a bite of the food that represents his Chinese American story. Louie spent time in Greenville during the filming of Season 23 of Top Chef, so it's only fitting that Greenville would be one of his stops on his Southeast tour; for him, it's almost like a reunion. “I love Greenville,” Louie said.
