Hugo Riboulet won season 14 of "Top Chef" on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is Philippe Etchebest's protégé at Le Clos des Sens in Annecy.
His menu, which featured mushrooms, cabbage and chocolate, appealed to Red Cross volunteers and jurors who voted for him with 54.81% of the vote. "I had programmed a defeat in my head to be disappointed as little as possible and it increased my feelings tenfold when I won," he says.
