The Winner Is A Surprising Pick

Top Chef's Tom Colicchio Picks the Best Masters Champions Dinner

And the winner is.........Vijay Singh! "It sounds like he enjoys food, both by the length of his menu and that he asked to bring in a chef," Colicchio said of Singh's Thai feast. "Most of the other menus are pretty conservative, as I would expect from golfers."

Vijay Singh, 2001: Chicken panang curry, baked Chilean sea bass, rack of lamb in yellow curry sauce, and sea scallops in a pepper garlic sauce. (Prepared by a chef Singh brought in from Atlanta).
