Trib has an article on Ming Tsai and his Patriot’s fanatacism. The article mentions his guest role on Chicago’s version of Top Chef as well as his impending return to cook for a Common Threads benefit. These two connections hardly justify a local article on the man. It’s not like he has a new cookbook out. So why’s the Trib covering him, or maybe more importantly why’s he out doing press in Chicago on the eve of the Super Bowl? This may be total speculation, but it sure smells like a ploy to build some name recognition for Tsai to make a foray into the Chicago restaurant market….stay tuned.
