In 2011,[5] Poon-Kinney's restaurant, The Trails Neighborhood Eatery, was featured in an episode of the Food Network series Restaurant: Impossible.[4][6][7][8] 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.[6]
In 2013,[2][8] 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,[9] and she pitched an idea to producers for a potential series called Stacey's Modern Magic.[10] Although deemed by critics to be a frontrunner for the season,[11][12] Poon-Kinney was eliminated from the show on August 4, 2013 , finishing in fourth place.[10][13] Her elimination was met with anger and surprise by many viewers,[13] and the decision was described as "shocking" by the season's eventual winner, Damaris Phillips.[14]
Poon-Kinney lives in Spring Valley, California with her husband, painter Saratoga Sake.[3] They have two children.[15]
