My Take
What gets me about Wu Pao-chun isn't the trophy from Paris, impressive as a world bread title is. It's that he refused to win by erasing himself. He folded millet wine, rose petals and dried lychee, the flavors of his Pingtung childhood, into a loaf that beat the best in the world. That's confidence most chefs never reach: instead of chasing French perfection, he made Taiwan the answer. Add a man who went back to university later in life, and you get someone driven less by ego than by relentless craft. I respect bakers who insist their roots belong on the plate.
