Meet the Host: Kevin Gillespie
He's been on Top Chef, but there’s more to this Atlanta-based chef than meets the popular-viewing eye. Kevin is passionate about locally sourced, organic ingredients, so it’s no surprise he was named one of Mother Nature Network’s Top 40 Chefs Under 40. He’s also a member of Slow Food Atlanta and the Society for the Preservation of Traditional Southern Barbecue.
