Those of us who have watched Next Food Network Star the past few years have long lamented the disappointing finale of season 3.  JAG (Joshua Adam Garcia) was sure to be a runaway star, much in the mold of Guy Fieri who won season 2.  Well, that didn"t happen but all who watched NFNS 3 knew that JAG was far too talented not to be a cheflebrity.

Food Network"s loss is Tampa"s gain as JAG is heading up the kitchen at POSH 27, an exciting new restaurant and night club opening later this year in the Cigar City.  Chef JAG was kind enough to give Edible TV a few minutes of his time via e-mail and here"s what he had to say:

ET: The menu at Posh 27 appears to take flavors from all over Latin America and the Caribbean.  Was this planned or did it just evolve?
JAG: This was definitely planned out to showcase a hot new culinary style all on its own. My Latino Fusionè will be tasted in every culinary aspect of Posh 27. Posted by: Editor    Source
