Does it surprise anyone that it’s the guy who miraculously won Top Chef: Masters Season 3 while also refusing to cook meat?Yes, Floyd Cardoz has just been named executive chef and partner of White Street, previously reported as being farm-to-table-focused, now advertised as “American food with global touches,” opening in Tribeca.
