Do you grip a knife like a club? Do your tomato wedges fall apart in seedy clumps? Recent Top Chef winner Hung Huynh visited with Grub Street at Dani yesterday to demonstrate his famous knife skills. The quicksilver cook showed how to julienne squash and a speedy way to slice meat. Definitely try this at home. But first, watch the video. By Josh Ozersky, Video by Sarah Lohman

  • To all the mature cooks/ chefs do not fuck with this kind of knives,i have worked as a chef for 8 years,and i've always been around this kind of knives,trust me it will cut your finger off.

  • @GuyMonaghan maybe so in the kitchen he doesn't have to keep switching knives fore his prep work? I'm just guessing.

  • @ImReadyD151 Ultra sharp knives are the answer!

  • RESPECT

  • 10 years old + All day long = Child abuse ??

  • he says to go against the grain but doesn't he cut with it in the demo?

  • @mattmaes

    He is using a Misono UX10 sujihiki (slicing knife). The weird thing about it is that the Misono ux10 is not usually all that thin or flexible - Hung must have had it thinned out just for him. There are other Japanese knives that come quite thin if you want to look into them - I'm thinking gyutos or sujihikis from Tadatsuna, Suisin inox honyaki, Konosuke, or Sakai Yusuke.

  • What was the first knife he was using? Misono (sp?) It was flexible and probably very light. Very interesting.

  • What advantage is there to using a slicer for his chopping rather than a gyuoto/chef's knife, since Misono make one in the exact same length?
