Dessert Professional Magazine included Sally Camacho, a runner-up in season 2 of the hit reality cooking show “Top Chef: Just Desserts,” in its list of the top 10 pastry chefs in the US.
The nine other chefs include: Craig Harzewski of Chicago, Sandro Micheli of New York, Marc Aumont of New York, Christina Tosi of New York, Angela Pinkerton of New York, Damien Herrgot of New York, Nathaniel Reid of Florida, Jean Marie Auboine of Las Vegas and Chris Hanmer of Las Vegas, the man who beat Camacho on the TV show.
Born in Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, Camacho works as a pastry chef in Wolfgang Puck’s WP24.
She recently went to Madrid, Spain to represent the United States in Valrhona’s Madrid Fusion Pastry Competition.
Last year, she won the Valrhona C3 Competition in France. She and her pastry team also bagged gold medals at the Culinary Olympics in Germany in 2008.
‘Top Chef’ experience
Early this year, Camacho admitted that she was disappointed when she failed to win the title of “Top Chef” on season two of “Top Chef: Just Desserts.”
“I thought I was going to win it,” Camacho told ABS-CBN News. “I came into the competition wanting to win. You don’t go there to show up. You go there to win.”
Despite the loss, Camacho said that being on the show was a great experience.
