At 18, Preston Nguyen didn’t plan on competing in the World Food Championships.

He was going to volunteer.

Instead, a last-minute opportunity put him in the competition — alongside his parents — going up against chefs with decades more experience… and they walked away as Rookie of the Year.

In Part 1 of Confessions: Beyond the Food, Preston shares how everything changed — from a COVID pivot into cooking, to winning Rookie of the Year, to stepping onto Next Level Chef at just 19.

This episode is about what happens when success hits early — and the pressure that comes with it.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Growing up around family restaurants — but planning a future in architecture
  • The COVID pivot that changed everything
  • Getting a last-minute “golden ticket” into the World Food Championships
  • Winning Rookie of the Year at 18 — and the pressure that followed
  • Catching and cooking his own fish (despite a childhood trauma)
  • Using TikTok to solve a high-level culinary challenge
  • What Next Level Chef is really like behind the scenes
  • The pressure of performing with cameras on and no second chances
