TV LAND — Local chef Janelle Reynolds, who is Executive Chef at @t large, a private chef services company, and also working with Mighty Bird, brought another Chopped championship home to Austin last week. The blog Foodie Pleasure interviewed her about her win, and she reveals that her biggest challenges on the show were "livers" and that high tension first round. [FoodiePleasures]

CAMPUS — Speaking of winning, Chef Josh Watkins and the Carillon team won the grand championship in the barbecue category at the StarChefs conference in New York. The Chronicle posted an exhaustive recap of the event, detailing how each team used the required Sunchang Gochujan condiment, whose parent company sponsored the event. [Chronicle]

NO-LONGER-SOCO — Wonder where all those food trailers on South Congress went after condo developers bought their trailer park? Wonder no longer! CultureMap has tracked them all down. A few went just down the street, some took off for West Campus, and others wandered further afield. Only Nomad Dosa and PitaLicious are M.I.A.
