Dawn Burrell keeps bringing the hits on
Top Chef.
SEASON 18 OFÂ
TOP CHEF IS HERE, and a Houston chef is competing for the ultimate prize ($250,000 and other things) in Portland, Oregon. We re keeping our eyes glued on Dawn Burrell (who s soon to open Late August) as she battles each week (Thursday nights on Bravo). Also, read more about recently ousted Houston-based contestant Sasha Grumman (who has a great focaccia hustle).
The season continued with episode eight Thursday night. How did chef Burrell do?
Top Chef: Portland has been pretty eventful.
The 18th season of Bravo s popular cooking competition started with two H-Town chefsâDawn Burrell (previously Kulture, soon-to-open Late August) and Sasha Grumman (previously Rosalie, currently Sasha s Focaccia). The goal, of course, is to win the whole thing, which means money, a magazine feature, and the kind of acclaim that lifts a career from here to Here.
Note: Spoilers ahead!
Not only is Burrell still in the competition, but she s also arguably the favorite at this point. Meanwhile, Grumman was eliminated from the main show back in the second week, but that meant a move to the YouTube one-on-one competitionÂ
