Food Network
Restaurant: Impossible
In 2011,[4] Poon-Kinney's restaurant, The Trails Neighborhood Eatery, was featured in an episode of the Food Network series Restaurant: Impossible.[3][5][6][7] It was reported that after the show aired, the restaurant experienced an 80% increase in sales due in part to dinner service, which the restaurant did not previously offer.[5]
Food Network Star
In 2013,[2][7] it was announced that Poon-Kinney had been selected as a contestant on the ninth season of the Food Network series Food Network Star. Out of the twelve finalists, she proceeded to the top four,[8] and she pitched an idea to producers for a potential series called Stacey's Modern Magic.[9] Although deemed by critics to be a frontrunner for the season,[10][11] Poon-Kinney was eliminated from the show on August 4, 2013, finishing in fourth place.[9][12] Her elimination was met with anger and surprise by many viewers,[12] and the decision was described as "shocking" by the season's eventual winner, Damaris Phillips.[13]
Personal life
Poon-Kinney lives in Spring Valley, California with her husband, painter Saratoga Sake.[14] They have two children.[15]
