Sunny advanced to the final round, competing against Laila Ali, Gavin Kaysen and Scott Conant.  She didn’t fair as well in this round, in fact she sliced open her finger which made her lose valuable time and was eliminated in the first round.  Scott Conant went on to win.

The charity that Sunny was competing for, N Street Village, has been a powerful force in helping women achieve personal stability and make gains in their housing, income, employment, mental health, physical health, and addiction recovery since 1972.  Please visit their website to learn more, donate and / or volunteer to help!

Read all about Sunny’s Chopped All-Stars win last night!

In case you missed it last night, Sunny was a competitor on Food Network’s Chopped All-Stars last night.  It was Round 1, a battle between Food Network and Cooking Channel.  And guess what… Sunny won!  She battled three other great chefs to make it to the finals and have a chance to win $50,000 for N Street Village, a charity for empowerment and recovery of women.

Food Network Dish caught up with Sunny after her win and asked her about the competition:

Which basket did you have the most trouble with?
SA: I think the first basket was the most troublesome for me because, one, it was the first. And then I saw the banana bread. I would never buy banana bread to begin with, I would just make it; I certainly wouldn’t have purchased that one! I mean, there weren’t even nuts in there. An appetizer with a sweet bread. I mean, how do you savory that up? I’m really thankful that the ball rolled off of Nadia’s plate, and I’m thankful that Gabriele poured the mango juice into a cup, because that’s the cushion I needed in order to stay the first round.

Were there any ingredients you’d never worked with before?
SA: The galangal — I never worked with it before, but I did know what it was, luckily. I’d never seen that seafood pepper pot soup in a can. I’ve seen some crazy stuff in a can, but I’ve never seen that in my life. If I saw that in a grocery store, I would run the other way. I want nothing to do with it ever again!
