Alex Raij, Chef/Owner Txikito, New York, NY Most Potential – Sotohiro Kosugi, Soto, New York, NY
Jonathan Benno, Executive Chef, Per Se, New York, NY Meal of the Year – Soto, New York, NY
In addition, Soto has been invited to attend "Madrid Fusion 2009," a very well respected international culinary conference. You can view his page here.
