Matthew Kang is the Lead Editor of Eater LA. He has covered dining, restaurants, food culture, and nightlife in Los Angeles since 2008. He's the host of K-Town, a YouTube series covering Korean food in America, and has been featured in Netflix's Street Food show.

As the the season finale of Top Chef Season 11 looms tonight, Andy Greenwald of Grantland gives an interesting take on the lofty reality show's mid-life crisis. Offering modest praise for Roy Choi's guest judging early on, Greenwald comments on the show's evolution from innovator to spin-off king: "Can Top Chef simmer forever without steaming away into nothing? I'd like to say yes, but I have my doubts. The time to find out starts … now." [Grantland]
