When still a Culinary Arts student, Arnold Myint won Tabasco’s 2004 Hottest Chef Contest. After graduation, he returned home to Nashville, where he heads up not one, but two restaurants — PM and Suzy Wong’s House of Yum. He continued succeeding in culinary competitions, starring as one of the contestants on season seven of Bravo’s Top Chef. Myint says, “At ICE, we were immersed in cooking and food. We spent everyday in kitchens that were like actual operating restaurant kitchens. ICE gave me the foundation and support I needed. Everyone there made me believe that what I created was good.”
