Shota Nakajima will compete on Top Chef
James Beard-nominated Seattle chef Shota Nakajima, who previously ran the acclaimed restaurant Adana Like List (which permanently closed in May due to the pandemic) and opened the Japanese street food bar Taku Like List (now temporarily closed) in early 2020, will be one of the contestants competing in the upcoming season of Bravo's popular culinary reality series Top Chef. A trailer for the season, which was filmed in Portland and will begin airing April 1, was released this week. Nakajima said in an Instagram post, "This last year has been such an emotional roller coaster: closing Adana, some personal health issues (not COVID), and later closing Taku’s to-go program. My spirit was lifted when I got the call from Top Chef that I was selected for this year as a contestant...My first emotion was that I was scared…then humbled, thrilled, and excited to get back to it!"
