Tournament of Champions season 3 winner, Tiffani Faison, shares her feelings on being the third woman crowned on the show and how the blind judging on the show removes possibilities of implicit bias. Tiffani talks about her state of mind throughout the competition and going up against former champion Brooke Williamson. She talks about the infamous randomizer and if someone is actually behind it controlling the results. Tiffani shares where her tenacity comes from and the various competitive settings she has experienced throughout her life. She talks about her maverick personality style and how her childhood as a military brat shaped her as a person. Tiffani shares how she didn’t start cooking until the age of 23 and the not-so-Cinderella story of becoming a chef. She talks about her hopes for the Boston food scene and her process when it comes to conceptualizing a new restaurant before talking about the food cities she loves. Tiffani talks about judging on Chopped, why being a competitor makes you a better judge and her perspective on leadership.
