Ilan D. Hall (born April 6, 1982) is an American chef, best known as the winner of the second season of the Bravo television network's reality series ''Top Chef''. ==Life and career== Hall is a native of Great Neck, New York. His parents were both immigrants: his father from Glasgow, Scotland, and his mother from Israel. Both his parents were from Jewish families.〔http://m.npr.org/story/134458738?url=/2011/03/12/134458738/matzo-balls-meet-bacon-at-top-chefs-restaurant〕〔http://us.shalomlife.com/culture/17864/top-20-under-40-los-angeles-ilan-hall/〕 As a teenager, Hall worked at Marine Fishery, a seafood store in his hometown of Great Neck〔(Top Chef Finale Spoiled AGAIN )〕 and was later trained at Italy's Lorenzo de' Medici Apicus Program〔(Great Neck To Great Chef )〕〔(Bio at the Top Chef website )〕 and at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). He attended the CIA at the same time as his ''Top Chef'' runner-up Marcel Vigneron. At the time of his season two ''Top Chef'' competition, Ilan was a line cook at Casa Mono, a Spanish restaurant in Manhattan. He is perhaps best recognized as the winner of the most drama-filled season of ''Top Chef,'' which saw him involved in a series of non-cooking related antics related to his rivalry with another contestant, Marcel Vigneron. ''Bravo'', the television station producing ''Top Chef'', ranks Ilan's partaking in "The Head Shaving Incident" against Vigneron as "probably the biggest scandal in Top Chef history."〔http://www.bravotv.com/top-chef/season-9/photos/must-see-moments/top-chefs-biggest-scandals-of-all-time#image-106638〕 Many have cited Ilan and Marcel's disdain for one another as the most poignant aspect of season 2, as is demonstrated in the "''Top Chef'' Reunion" episode hosted by season 5 contestant, Fabio Viviani. During this episode, staged several years after season 2, both Ilan and Marcel acknowledged that they had made amends since their departures from the hit cooking show and no longer were interested in being associated with the belligerence, which had plagued the near entirety of their particular season on ''Top Chef''. As of 2008, Hall lives in Los Angeles, California〔(''New York Daily News'' Interview June 12, 2008 )〕 In August 2009, he opened his first restaurant, The Gorbals, in downtown Los Angeles.〔(''The Gorbals LA'' Official website )〕 Less than a week after opening, The Gorbals was shut down by the county health department because of an inadequate water heater. It reopened on October 23, 2009. In 2014, Hall opened a second location of his restaurant in Brooklyn.〔http://eater.com/archives/2014/04/04/inside-the-gorbals-brooklyn.php〕〔http://www.thegorbalsbk.com/〕 It was revealed in 2010 that Hall and his girlfriend are expecting their first son, Theo, together. Hall is currently hosting a cooking competition show called ''Knife Fight''.〔http://eater.com/archives/2013/08/13/watch-a-preview-for-knife-fight-premiering-sept-24.php〕 It was originally slated to premiere on April 23, 2013 on the Esquire Network, but was pushed to September 24, 2013 due to the network wanting to debut with a broader slate of original programming.〔http://eater.com/archives/2013/04/16/food-tv-78.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilan Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
