What is Keshi Yená?
Paliamento is one of three languages spoken in Curacao. The others are English and Dutch. Keshi Yená is a Paliamento term for 'melting pot' and the dish is usually served as a parcel of rich Gouda (or Edam) cheese which, when cut open, reveals any combination of meat (usually chicken), vegetables and seasoning. Capers are often used, and soy sauce, curry and dried fruits feature heavily, too.
In the semi-finals of Top Chef Wisconsin, the four remaining chefs were asked to make a "Keshi Yena" out of lionfish and Gouda.

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
