Before Paul Qui won Top Chef: Texas, the ninth season of Bravo’s hit series, he rose through the ranks of Uchi, one of Austin’s most ambitious restaurants. Now, at its bigger and more casual sister spot, Uchiko, Qui makes modern dishes that share a similar ethos: Asian in spirit with Western ingredients, combined in inventive, dazzling preparations. The Jar Jar Duck, for instance, is a delicious combination of smoked and confited duck, supercrunchy duck cracklings, sweet kumquat confit and pickled endives served in a glass jar.
