Yigit: Watching them was a pretty disheartening because I expected people to remain more professional in their private time. But people are entitled to their own opinions, and I'm kind of happy I stuck through it remained more professional and calm.

It was challenging when people would say things like, "I wish he'd go home," but at the end I took the prize so I should be very happy about that. Was it really that stressful? Yigit: I think the way the viewers saw how dramatic and stressful it was probably about a tenth of what we experienced. I think we had a very eccentric cast. Seth had a very hard [time] emotionally and Morgan had a personality that people clashed with.

And you have to understand that pastry chefs are such exacting creatures that we work with a recipe times over to perfect it. We have everything scaled out to a half of a gram.

That takes time. Thanks to the Top Chef win, I do a lot of public speaking, and I realize you have to push people to really follow their dream. I know people say it all the time, but it's like that saying: if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.

I work 18, 20 hours a day, and I literally won't take a day off for months at a time. Every now and then I'll stop and say, "You know, I think I should take a day off.

I wish I could do something else" because I'm literally living my passion. And that's huge. YP: My mom absolutely has come around. Now she thinks all this is her creation, which is kind of funny.
