If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair but the hair spray and the electric toothbrush. We asked chef Buddha Lo of Huso, the winner of Top Chef: Houston who’s currently competing on Top Chef: World All-Stars, about the “hospitality-friendly” clogs, easy-to-wash-out pomade, and minivan-esque e-scooter he can’t live without. 

It’s about a week before Top Chef’s 20th season premiere, and Buddha Lo is taking a break from his busy schedule as executive chef of New York City’s HŪSO, a “12-seat caviar speakeasy” that currently has a waitlist more than 3,000 people long. Many of those diners are lining up precisely because of Lo’s status as winner of the reality competition show’s previous season, in which he wowed judges Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, and Gail Simmons with an unapologetically elevated finale meal, which included—you guessed it—caviar. It’s the type of pressure that the Chinese-Australian chef has been preparing for his entire career.
