Second Helping Week 10 (Part 1) w/ Oscar Diaz

We have the rizz king of season 23 on the pod, Oscar Diaz!!! Tune in to hear about Oscar's journey to Top Chef and what he's up to post-show. A two-time James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef Southeast, Oscar Diaz was born and raised in Chicago. Growing up surrounded by diverse flavors shaped his bold, multicultural culinary style blending his Mexican heritage, global influences, and Southern soul. After training in Michelin-starred kitchens across Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Chicago, he landed in Raleigh, N.C., where he helped to launch Cortez Seafood + Cocktails. In 2023, Oscar opened Little Bull in Durham, which recently earned a Michelin Guide recommendation and features an American melting pot of flavors. His second restaurant AAKTUN opened in 2024, pushing Latin American flavors. Oscar’s latest project and third restaurant, TaTaco is a mercado-inspired eatery in Durham. Known for his fearless creativity and high-pressure skills, Oscar was featured in Time Magazine as a chef defining the “Nuevo South.” A musical aficionado at heart, he loves to DJ, travel and wants to apply the same passion and skills to food and remix his cuisine.
