Liya Chu, a Taiwanese-American girl, won first place in the eighth season of the US MasterChef Junior. Chu was ten years old when she participated in the competition. She has kept the secret to herself for three years because the show was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chu’s parents come from Taiwan and have run two restaurants in New York. She has been helping out in restaurants after school since she was five and learning cooking skills working side-by-side with her parents in the kitchens starting at seven.
In the final episode,aired in late June, Chu was crowned the champion with a magnificent spread. Throughout the show, she served dishes with Asian-flavor fusion cuisine, showing her Taiwanese heritage from her parents. Chu walked away with US$100,000, which she said she would save to pay for college and a family trip.
美籍台裔少女Liya Chu（中文名朱如茵）日前贏得了知名美國烹飪節目《小小廚神》第八季的冠軍。Liya三年前參加比賽的時候年僅10歲。因為疫情影響的關係，節目不斷延遲播出，她也將自己獲得冠軍的這個秘密，守口如瓶地藏了三年。
Liya的爸媽都來自台灣，並且在紐約經營了兩家餐廳。她從5歲開始，就會在放學後到爸媽的餐廳中幫忙，而從7歲開始，她就跟著爸媽進廚房一起做事，學到了一身烹飪好手藝。
在六月下旬剛播出的最後一集決賽中，Liya以一桌豐盛的菜餚贏得了冠軍。回顧整季比賽節目，她端出的都是結合亞洲風味的融合式料理，展示了她從爸媽身上所傳承下來的台灣味。Liya最後贏得10萬美元的獎金，她說將會存下來當自己讀大學的學費、還要帶家人來一場家族旅行。
walk away with 的意思是「贏得（比賽、獎項、獎金…）」，且帶有一種從容獲勝的氛圍，暗示「輕易地帶走、輕鬆地獲得…」。
