Rick Bayless, an Oklahoma City native, advanced in the Top Chef Masters competition.

Chef Rick did us all proud, winning last night’s Top Chef Masters challenge and advancing to the next round.

Bayless has made his fortune as a chef specializing in the flavors of Mexico in Chicago with Frontera Grill and Topolobampo.

He also has a long-running television show on PBS, Mexico One Plate at a Time. His Frontera line of food products are available at local grocery stores and gourmet shops.

In last night’s show, he gave a shout out to Oklahoma City, where he went to Northwest Classen High School and learned to cook in his parents’ barbecue restaurant, The Hick’ry Pit.

This and more was discussed in today’s Top Chef podcast.
